Wow!

 

If my ol' man ever finds a genie and gets a wish... he'll be THAT GUY.

 

Life , is what you make of it.

 

EXCELLENT!!!! Thank you!!!!
I've always wanted a garage with a house.
My kind of guy!
We could be good buds!
He's ahead of me by 56 vehicles...at the moment.

 

My ol' man has a 32 Dodge Something, a 47 Buick Roadster Something, a 65 Chevy Something, and a 2014 Prius. I drive a 2000-something Volvo Station Wagon (holds a lot of paint and stuff).

 

COOL!!!!!
I have been negotiating for awhile for a space like that guy's.

 

The Buick is probably a Roadmaster.
Dodge, no clue there.
'65 Chevy.....
Only about 5 main models plus each line's models plus vans and trucks and so....that's pretty broad there G.

 

I'll bet Lenny gets more personal satisfaction from his collection than most any Fortune 500 CEO gets out of being a bigshot boss. He probably feels like he's in heaven whenever he's in that garage full of big toys. I think he's one of the few people who really has been able to fulfill his dreams.

 

You are likely to be 100% correct!
I have wanted this for awhile. I have always been very happy working on my vehicles even when they are being feisty.

Time for me to bug the guy for that place I want again... Wish me luck!

Anyone ever seen the special feature on why guys like cars that is on the Gran Torino movie DVD?

 

Wow,that was so neat ! Growing up, my dad had a 39 buick saloon car,and then a 55 chevy. They were massive ! The saloon car still had the mohair seats,very itchy and hot,but I loved the STYLE of it . I remember the chevy got like 8 miles to the gallon ,my dad always complained about it. I bet Lennys cars are worth quite a bundle.

 

That '55 must not have had the stock engine or something was wrong.
Problem with the older 'oddball' cars is that there is a lesser buying audience every day.
If any of the cars are truly unique then yes, to some extent, but still about condition unless 1 of a kind and/or with major documented provenance.
It costs SO much that what's put in is almost never realized at sale.
I used to build my own Chevy engines for about $150... Not now.

 

Uhmmm DANG. I swear I saw a Messerschmidt in there. Dollars to donuts he hasn't touched the paint on any of them.

 

I really enjoyed that video with "Lenny" -- what an interesting fellow. I especially liked at the start when he showed up with his bike and wearing his helmet over his ball cap to open his garage.

 

My grandfather's cellar (Huge) looked just like that man's garage -- just different subject matter. Fascinating!

 

Sounds like a great place to me.

 

I think I like your grandfather!

 

Only if the Junkwire has a 350 Chevy in it.
