The person, who had the world’s largest collection of cars sadly passed away in the year 2004. The son was unaware of the inheritance, and eventually, the grandsons found out about it later. The grandson had limited knowledge about their grandfather’s interests, but they never expected the collection to still be accessible.

A lot of these cars were from the late 1930s with the original paint still on, but unfortunately, a lot of these cars were not in a condition, from which they could recover. Nature had already started growing on the cars but still, they recovered and almost 897 of these cars were sold out all over the world.

Roger Baillon’s dream of making the museum never caught on, but the auctioning company said that the day before the cars went for auctioning, almost 15000 people came to see the exclusive cars.

All the cars were purchased by collectors all over the world and mostly out of France, but one of them the 1936 Panhard et Levassor Dynamic x76 Coupe Junior was taken by a museum for a sum amount of $75,604
