Antique Cars Destroyed In Weymouth Fire

WEYMOUTH (WBZ) ― Several antique cars were destroyed in a heartbreaking fire in Weymouth on Wednesday.

The fire at 899 Middle St. consumed the entire building.

The 89-year-old man who owns the cars was moving one of the cars when it sparked the fire, destroying his three-car collection and his barn where the cars were being stored in.

A 1929 Buick Roadmaster, which was used in movies like "The Great Gatsby" and "The Witches of Eastwick," was destroyed. 

A 1964 and a half Mustang convertable and a 1915 Dodge Phaeton -- one of only three in the U.S. -- were also destroyed.

The man escaped the fire but was so upset over the loss he had to be taken to the hospital. His condition is not yet known.
