Default Unbeliveable car collection

This is too good to post in OT. I just returned from my 2nd visit to a private car collection in NLR AR. Photos when I get home and can download.
Collection includes 10 - 57 Chevy Convertibles (2 fuel injected), a 57 injected Nomad, 54 thru 80's Vettes including a 68 427 vert. 50's Thunderbirds in several colors.
Too many to list, at least 100 cars and guessing 5 million plus for the collection.

And it's in NLR AR!!!

Did any of the cars come from 57 Heaven in Branson that were recently auctioned by Mecum?

Used to be a private car collection about 30 miles from me on Monteagle mountain - all Chevrolets, including 8-10 Corvettes. About 50-60 cars in all. The man that owned them did all the work on restoring them himself.

He passed away about 8-10 years ago and the collection was sold.

Default Here they are

It's hard to decide on a few with 100 to choose from. Here are some of my favorites.

54 Vette




10 57 Chevy verts in a row






rare 57 Fuel Injected Nomad









Merc Pickup Canada




Bonneville



40 Ford Tudor Coupe. My dad brought me home from theHospital in 1941 in one just like this.



My first car was a 55 Customline, only rich people could afford the Crown Victoria.

Speaking of rich folks a cadillac El Dorado






Not to leave the "Fix or Repair Daily" crowd 3 baby birds in restoration.

Pretty neat !!!

Hope you found one from your past.

Default The First

I just found out the Bonneville shown is the very first Pontiac Bonneville made. It is documented.

A couple of brothers in the trucking business. They have a large trucking operation hauling for the US postal service coast to coast.

It's not open to the public but my neighbor got me an invitation with a few of his customers.

I went to look at a car (porsche) with my dad and the guy had a similar style collection. Huge warehouse type building filled with cars. My favorite was the original 427 cobra. No vette's though. He had a LOT of old bentleys, some RR's, and other old cars (20's-50's mostly). Always interesting to look at these kinds of collections.
