Nicest private collection of boats and cars Ive seen.

Got a tour of a guys 3 warehouse and barn full of toys.

Specialized in wooden boats and one of a kind or rare Detroit iron.
Had lots of eclectic stuff.

I do enjoy collections, but part of me wants too see nice old things used properly. The plastic covered cars just feels odd.

Me too. I'll never own a garage queen. I would enjoy it while I'm here because I won't be able to take it with me

The cars are on use rotation with a dedicated guy to keep them constantly ready for a show or tour.

No garage queens or non runners here.

Everything in the stabil gets at least a few miles, some a lot.

The plastic covers cold as they may seem don't scratch and do great with dust.

Specifically cool to me was this old century with a 427 side oiler pushing a v drive.

I have been to classic wood boat shows and they bring tears to my eyes because of their beauty

That is so cool! It appears that there are no exotics, just typical American Iron that I grew up with. Glad to hear that they get driven, and see that they appear to be very well cared for.

It breaks my heart when I read articles about forgotten collections, where the cars are rusted and rotted.

I like the mini bike. Saw a cool electric cruiser bike at Costco today for $1,400. Good thing I didn't have the Tundra...

There were no euro exotics, but there were American exotics we all wanted as kids.

Bottom picture of initial post: Is that a '68 Dodge Charger on the lower left?
I also wonder what the Carmel Corn wagon weighs. It has AC units inside.

Dark Green '72 Stingray

Correct on Charger.

No clue on the Carmel Corn wagon.

Love that Nova and 57.

That 426 needs a decent set of battery cables.

 

[JeffKeryk]

The 67 (?) Nova... Wow!

Yep, it’s sad those cars are tucked away under plastic and tarps. But are they ever impressive. Still it might be as good as a 401K if he sells one now and again.
