    We were lucky enough to be invited to see this guys collection of cars and memorabilia. I'm sure there's some HAMB'ers out there who will appreciate what this guy has collected over the last 30 to 40 years. It was overwhelming! In respect to the guys privacy I am not revealing his location. Enjoy.

    I enjoyed watching the video,the man has a ton of cool stuff.

    It's always nice to be allowed access to a private collection,it amazes me that in just about every city there is someone that has am***ed a huge treasure trove of cars,signs,motorcycles and antiques. HRP

    Is this real? I must be dreaming. I will have to confess some envy and other selfish thoughts.

    We asked him who dusted the place. It was spotless. He said "not him".

    The quality of everything was unbelievable. Most of the neon signs looked like brand new, he says he's been collecting for many many years. It's still blows my mind how one person can collect so much high quality stuff.

    The guy sure does like surf boards on top of the verts, I like the flathead v8 on the tractor,were they on both of em?, I also thought those old metal chairs that were painted up like the Shell signs were cool, that was a perfect match idea.
    How much did he say the electric bill was for those couple cold winter months? $100000 or something?

    That was his light bill for a cold month at his businesses greenhouses that he used to own. And that was in the 80's. I'm still amazed at his collection and the lack of dust. The antique wooden surf boards were amazing. He seemed like a real down to earth car guy. I wish I had 1/1000th of his collection.
