Location: Park Hills, KY		I have often talked about my father in law's cars here but I do not believe I have ever posted pics. My boys and I spent the weekend last week and got a bunch of cars out which have not been out for a while. Best thing for them....Only one FL....sorry for that but enjoy!

Location: Alberta		That's not a collection, That there is a Museum Car Capsule It gives me shivers just to think of the time put into locating,buying and transporting all these to one location. It certainly is a life long collection worth of memories of places,people and things behind each and every car let alone the preservation of them all. This makes my collection of (13) cars look like a fast food order at McDonalds in a time comparison. WOW says it Best. " If Half of the Cars were F/L I'd be inside Out"

...One of these cars is not like the others, One of these cars just doesn't belong....

Your kids have good taste. My favorites would be amoung the '49, '58, '60 & '66 Fords, '55 Buick and the '64 Olds... wow that's quite a collection.

Location: Park Hills, KY		I think 63 cars right now...? There are a couple model A's and a 64 cutlass coupe and another 53 ford vert not pictured, as well as a 55 Pontiac, 57T bird and a 69 corvair being restored now. He is obviously a Ford guy, and his passion is the 55-58 fords, 55 ford was his second car after the yellow Nash you saw in one of the pictures. He has a 55 Crown Vic that he has had since about 1978. Believe it or not, he has shrunken his collection by half. 15 years ago he had twice this many. So many stories and so much knowledge to soak up. He is a great guy and is passionate about the hobby. It's hard to keep batteries charged though!!

Love that red 66 Fairlane convert. That one brings back a lot of memories. Your son has good taste!

Location: NY & VT		This is really something, a huge labor of love!
Interestingly the owner's apparent aversion to Mopars is quite indicative of that time, '50s Mopar buyers were definitely outliers, not mainstream. This collection demonstrates that fact rather clearly.
