1941 1914 Cole Series 10 Barn Find

Have you ever wondered what a barn find was like in 1941?  Well, through some of the Cole historical information we have, we can now get a glimpse into how it may have gone.  It looks like the Cole family was looking for Cole Motor Cars of their fathers namesake and an agent reached out to JJ Cole Jr. with a lead on what appears to be a 1914/15 Cole Series 10.  I say this because it has no cowl lights, but definitely looks to be a 4 cylinder model.  Here is a picture of the car in the barn with the current owner as well as a letter to JJ Cole Jr. offering the car for sale by the agent.  Also, here is a hand written letter to JJ Cole Jr. from the agent in follow up.  I have no idea if this sale ever went through, but it is a fascinating piece of history!
