In the largely silent footage the camera simply goes along showing the cars, most of which are covered in dust.

There are lots of different Cadillacs on show from a number of generations.
However, one particular car that catches the eye is the Classic 'whale tail' Cadillac.
Fins first appeared on the 1948 Cadillac Sixty-Two Coupe deVille, but they are nowhere near as daring as those on later models.
They can best be described as protrusions from the top of the rear fenders which also partly housed the rear light clusters.
The design of the fins remained pretty much unchanged until Cadillac introduced the 1955 Sixty-Two Coupe deVille.
Its design was an evolution of the previous model and its hardware really looked like proper fins for the first time.
Then the 1957 Cadillac Sixty-Two deVille was introduced with even bigger ones and they no longer had integrated lights in them.
However, 1959 is the year when the Cadillac Sixty-Two with the biggest and most distinctive fins came along.
They have a rocket-inspired shape and their rear part is V-shaped and the light clusters are placed in the middle of the V.

Buying a "whale tail" Cadillac nowadays will set you back up to £50,000 according to motors auction sites.
Other iconic motors in the collection included Chevrolets, Lincolns as well as some classic Packards.
There are also a huge number of cars parked on the grass outside the barn.
Despite not being protected from the elements, they do not appear to be too badly rusting.
It comes after an eerie collection of abandoned cars have been left to rust for four decades after families abandoned them during a terrifying conflict.
The vast collection of 400 motors were abandoned in Cyprus when a Turkish invasion claimed over a third of the island in 1974.
It's not the only resting place of dozens of abandoned motors, as a Youtuber discovered a graveyard of hidden motors in a Japanese rice field.
The site is the resting place of a variety of luxury motors that have been left to rust, and some other vehicles include jet skis.
Meanwhile, a Brit was left shocked after finding a vintage car graveyard abandoned in a forest in the UK.
They investigated the location in Nottinghamshire where there are reportedly 50 classic and vintage motors – which have been “left to sadly rot”.
