> Sorry, it's not true. > > http://www.snopes.com/photos/automobiles/barnfind.asp What I wondered about was if the collection existed at all. That's about as true as I hoped, so it is true :-). ie I saw no text about the purported origin apart from the "barnfinds" heading, which told little. So, it appears to be a genuine collection of cars in Portugal. I find the snopes version less than fully likely in fact :-) - eg "... simply hired a photographer ...". The person who collected those images had a camera in their hand, but they were not a commercial photographer by any normal meaning of the name :-). ie it doesn't look like a photo record made by the owner paying someone cash to make it.
