Found the salon using Google Maps and Street View The YouTube channel Auto Retro published a video showing an abandoned car dealership discovered using the Google Maps service and the Street View function. Interestingly, the photographs were discovered about two years ago but were taken more than 10 years ago. Therefore, there was no guarantee that the cars would remain in this dealership until now. [caption id="attachment_71634" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Ford[/caption] The creator of the YouTube channel Auto Retro drove more than 1600 km from the UK to Germany and made sure that all the cars remained in their place. These are brand-new Ford vehicles produced around the mid-1980s. New Ford Sierra, Escort, Fiesta, and Orion from the 80s were found in an abandoned showroom in Germany According to available information, the original owner of the car dealership died, and until a few years ago, his widow regularly cleaned the cars and the dealership. She is now in a nursing home and cannot continue to care for the showroom. The widow left the cars for her grandchildren, but they could not be driven on public roads because the cars were not registered. The video features several Ford Sierras, including one base five-door hatchback, a red Sierra 1.6L, and a blue Sierra station wagon. Also visible are the Ford Fiesta S and Ford Escort 1.1. This is the Escort sedan, known at the time as the Orion. https://youtu.be/Pa5_5bRpgks
