The Baillon collection


Shipping magnate Roger Baillon had dreamed of opening an automobile museum, but that plan never came to fruition.  He amassed his cars in sheds on the family farm in western France.   His grandchildren were surprised to learn that the 60+ cars from the 1930's through the 1950's are possibly worth more than $18 million.  They are scheduled to be auctioned in Paris on February 6th.  

More of the story and additional images are available here.
