In his latest video, he goes inside a decades-old Victorian mansion, but what catches viewers’ interest is the vintage Cadillac inside an old barn.
As the man gives viewers a tour of the old, rundown mansion, he heads outside and checks out a shabby barn.
Inside sat a classic black 1960 Cadillac DeVille that had seemingly been neglected and forgotten, parked inside the barn for decades.
Although covered in debris and leaves, the car’s paint jobs appeared to be in mint condition.

The front of the vehicle, including the headlights, steel grill, bumper, and Cadillac logo, were all intact.
The roof of the Cadillac appeared to be rusty, but the damage was seen on the interior and windows.
All four passenger windows were shattered, including the front and rear windshields.
“It smells really bad in there,” the man says as he sticks the camera inside the car through the rear windshield.
The interior of the Cadillac was in complete disarray, filled with leaves, trash, and shards of glass.
The glove compartment was popped open, but the DeVille’s dusty steering wheel and dashboard appeared untouched.
Although the man does not look under the hood, car enthusiasts in the comment section were stunned at BigD’s find.
“Such a shame about that Cadillac. Wonder if it could be saved,” one wrote.
A second said, “What a shame it’s abandoned!”
