Some more pics!

Some Last pics. many many more cars there. These pics dont do the place justice. Don Jr.

Thanks Don for posting those. The size of this place and the collection are mind boggling. It was an old WalMart (99,000 sq feet) and there isn't a lot of room to get more cars in. He has them arranged by types for the most part, and every car is drivable, and most have battery tenders on them to keep them ready for use. Most also have current Florida license plates on them.

The other thing that is hard to fathom is that this is ONE MAN'S private collection. He can't be making any money on this museum and probably just does it for fun and maybe some tax writeoffs for his other investments. You could not run enough people through there at $ 12.50 a head to even pay his air conditioning and light bill. I'd just be happy if I had what he pays out per month for electric.

The collection is pretty diverse, as far as body styles. While he gravitates toward GM mainly, lots of his cars are big sedans that just happen to have two or three carbs under the hood and Hurst shifted four speeds. Fun place to visit.
