BLOOMINGTON, Ill. (AP) - A fire at a barn in Bloomington has destroyed half a dozen classic cars worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The cars represented decades of work by John Tornquist, who restores vintage automobiles, many of them a century old or more.
Friday night's blaze destroyed the barn that served as his restoration shop.
Among the cars lost were two 1913 Havers, a 1908 Duro, a 1928 Locomobile and a 1910 Chalmers Detroit.
No one was hurt.
The (Bloomington) Pantagraph reports (http://bit.ly/10u4Isx ) that the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
