Does one person own all of that? I would love to go there and play..

 

I think this is the Petrozzini (spelling?) which was sold by Mecum at the Chicago and Monterey auctions last year. Too late!!!

Damn!
That dude had Some Serious iron!

 

Such an incredible, eclectic mix of great cars. Heartbreaking to see them languishing there covered in dust.

 

I'd take the two shelby's and the Cord.
What is that red convert in the center with the 4x4 under the hood?

 

In the 80’s I was in a similar building on the south side of Chicago. It was a rough neighborhood, it had a small-ish door open to the street, But it was cavernous inside. There was a bunch of cars inside, I don’t believe anything quite to this level tho. I would be willing to bet there are stashes like this in every big city.

 

Leroy Brown's place?

 

Seems like these hoarders never have any sense of organization, and heaven forbid, don't roll the windows up!

 

Define a hoarder.

 

That was better than Al Capone's vault!

 

I honestly don't remember who's place it was, but I'm sure it wasn't Bad Bad Leroy Browns!

 

What ? ? No Tuckers?

 

Which Cord ? There was an 812 and an L-29...

 

Anybody with more cars than I’ve got.

That black L-29!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Heart wrenching to see many of these cars hidden away. I've got a bitch
with this because I'd like to have a '67-'69 Camaro again and it'll never
happen. I tend to not watch videos like this.

 

WHAT?!!!
No '57 Chevys? Harrumph.
Just kidding, at least they're all inside. Complete and untouched, too.
I want the camper.

 

Anyone know how much the 35 3 window coupe went for. Estimate was 3-4k......oh how I laughed

 

I thought I saw two 812s, the sedan and a convertible. But I missed the L-29.

 

The red convert looked like a 1939/40 Continental or Merc ?

 

looked.....was a Cadillac....

 

Ho. Lee. Fuck.

There's enough in there to depress the market prices for classics.

And I think that's a good thing. But they're in there so......randomly. Bought then parked.

The red convertible with the wood holding the hood is a 1940 Cadillac. If you check the links up top for the Mecum auctions they show what all the cars are. Auburns are replicas

 

Did you spot the custom red 39 Cad convertible with the filled grille? Looks like it had zephyr headlights or something like that.

 

From memory, I think the 1935 3 window brought around 24K. It was a ROUGH project. The 1934 Cabriolet needed some work but could have been cleaned up and used as-is. It was a solid old car and brought around 25K also. The 1934 was a good deal.

 

Thanks GZ

 

Hope a lot of these beauties see the road again.

 

Here is that beauty....

 

Thanks. Yep, that one got by me.

But I can picture myself looking pretty sharp behind the wheel of this Hudson convertible.
