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.

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:leaving:) 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.
