Automotive Mystery: Abandoned Dealership in New England Hides Forgotten Classics and Intrigues Internet Users
A YouTuber was recording a video while driving through a small town in New Hampshire, USA, when he noticed something unusual: an apparently abandoned dealership, but with the interior filled with classic cars.
The mysterious structure, later identified as the South Weare Ford dealership, contained an impressive row of classic vehicles, including rare models from Ford, Chevrolet, and even a fire truck. The recording, posted on Amesie’s channel, quickly piqued the curiosity of internet users around the world.
Due to the curiosity and the growing popularity of the video, Amesie returned to the site several times. On each visit, he documented the changes he found, such as the disappearance of some vehicles, further fueling the mystery and fascination surrounding this abandoned dealership.

The 2012 Mitsubishi Pajero Dakar diesel shows 314,000 km and still draws attention for its reputation for durability; the seven-seater 4×4 SUV handles trails, but signs of severe use may conceal losses for used car buyers.

Peugeot publicly acknowledged the errors of the PureTech engine, which caused serious failures in hundreds of thousands of cars, and introduced the new Turbo 100 as a definitive solution, a 1.2 turbo tested for over 3 million kilometers that replaces the faulty belt with a more durable chain.
The Rare Cars
The South Weare Ford housed vehicles that made any car enthusiast dream. Among the models were:
- 1941 Ford Woodie Wagon: One of the icons of 40s automotive design.
- 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible: Known for its sophistication and classic appeal.
- 1977 Chevrolet Corvette: One of the most iconic sports cars in theUSA.
- Ford Thunderbird: Another classic from Ford, widely recognized.
In addition to these vehicles, Amesie found a fire truck from the Seagrave brand and other period vehicles that were deteriorating over time. The state of abandonment was evident, especially with the partial roof collapse, which ended up damaging an old Buick and the fire truck.
A Tragic Ending Story?
Stories of abandoned places like this dealership are, unfortunately, more common than we imagine. Often, these properties have tragic stories of family businesses that, for some reason, ended up closing their doors.
Over time, the location becomes a capsule of the past, preserving a piece of automotive history that eventually gets forgotten.
Promotional signs indicating that “everything was for sale” were seen in front of the building, suggesting that the owner or heirs were trying to sell the remaining cars.
Locations like South Weare Ford awaken a sense of nostalgia and curiosity, a reminder of a time when these vehicles represented the pinnacle of engineering and automotive design. Although the fate of many of these cars is unknown, there is hope that they have found new homes and are in the process of restoration, receiving the care they deserve.
These urban mysteries remind us that, even in modern times, stories can remain hidden, waiting for someone curious enough to reveal them.
