It could be worse. They could be sitting in a field.
Peter Max will die someday and his estate will call in an auction house to liquidate them. People will line up to buy a car once owned by that crazy artist who had 36 vettes in his basement.

I'm old enough to remember the Peter Max stuff. I remember my girlfriend and I got a set of Peter Max sheets and pillow cases. Holy crap, I can't imagine some nutjob like him painting a corvette like those sheets!!!!!!!! What a crime that would be

i remember when vh-1 had that contest ,i entered a few times, then when someone from huntington long island won i thought that was great ,then i found out ,where does one put all these cars,you also have to realize that this amount of cars were put together for a purpose, to promote music vidios ,i saw some of the cars on comericals ,and they were put toghter for that purpose , bad body work ,bad paint, non matching anything ,don;t worry no high dollar big money cars in that collection ,i wondered if it was still together ,maybe someone will contact peter and he will open it to the forum members so we can look and see, maybe we can make a fundraiser for a charity using this collection with a few hundred people we can clean up all those cars in less than 1/2 day

Regardless, I was also ignorant that this collection existed and was just locked away; haven't watched vh-1 since the early 90's (i miss the 80's heyday of that venue). Meanwhile, we await the day this rich dude decides to antagonize the rest of us aficionados with his forecast to "paint" these cars?
His money: his choice, I guess. May be hard to watch, though. Ugh.

Typical artiste. He thinks that his "Peter Max" paint jobs are the important part of the collection and is willing to ruin some really desirable Corvettes to serve his "vision". He's even willing to sacrifice his investment in these cars on the altar of his ego. First off, who the hell remembers Peter Max except a few burned out hippies from the psychedelic sixties? The guy is so passe that they don't even have a word for it. Well, maybe "dead".

I think he owns the spaces, that's how he has so many of them. One of the stories I've seen on this talked about that. I have not heard that the building sold, that would be interesting. I think he will still be OK on his $.5M investment. We can only hope he sells them instead of making an art statement......
