I have only one word for that...WOW!

What does (or did)this guy do for a living?

It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy that someone is saving cars like that for future generations that some day may just have little electric mopeds to drive around in.

I like that 1958 Impala. I rode around in one of those when I was a kid, my mothers car. But that one looks a little different!

What a great collection and even more impressive is the collector. It is really amazing to see such a down to earth guy like that sharing his toys with outsiders. I have to ask, do you know what the source of his wealth is or was that gave hime the dollar power to aquire that many classic cars and memoribillia?

Simply amazing !

Personally I feel that there are just too many fantastic cars in there that don't get driven or truly enjoyed. Sure, better than a Bubba owning them or rotting away in a field...

...but I would rather see those cars in the garages of every day people like you and me, where we can drive and enjoy and work on them.

And I thought you had to die to go to Heaven. This guy just goes out to his garage. Someday when I hit the lotto, I am going to have a collection like this.
