I wish he was my neighbor

Wow, Living next to him must make your Property Value shoot up.
 
Always loved the little red wagon. Not a fan of winged things or funny cars, but it looks like there is a lot of history in that garage.
 
Cool, but you see that orange Superbird? How exactly does he get that car to the ground?

I prefer small and manageable collections of ten or fewer. Giant collections just don't do it for me. So a guy has 50 or 100 cars in a collection like this, cool, more power to him. Does anyone else get to see them? Does he actually drive any of them? Or does he just have his people do that for him?
 
Those are those lifts that have a hydrolic cylinder & pump & plug into the wall. You can use the good ones for stacking. Prices vary. I looked into one one for my shop

I know a great collector with more than 50 ars.
Most of them C-Bodys.
He is willing to show his collection to other enthusiasts so they can enjoy them, too.
The only problem is he doesn't drive his cars enough.
He prefers to drive his 1997 Chrysler Vision.

Amazing.
Well, if that's what it takes to give him a boner, so be it...

Hell...it just gave me one... deep love of Daytonas and Superbirds... but if I ever really thought about it... sure. You can sleep in your car, but you can't drive your house.

Actually, it is a Chrysler Concorde. I believe it is the nicest driving sedan and all around vehicle made since it rolled off the Brampton Assembly Plant back in 1997. Even newer cars I have driven do not impress me as much. I am slowly ramping up driving my C bodies and others a little more lately, though, as I first had to spend the last few years selling off a big part of my collection to pay for the new garage. There was a cost over-run on the garage which was already expensive, since I did not foresee the impact of new city requirements for issuing a permit until later in the project, and they were significant. It is a revelation how cities can change the permit requirements as their income diminished from the fall in new construction due to the severe downturn the economy experienced starting in 2009!

I took my 1957 Chrysler 300C out to participate in a wedding for one of my best friends in late September. It was used at the end of the ceremony when I drove the newly married couple away to their hotel. The people there went nuts when they saw it outside at the end of the wedding, and they all flocked around it in amazement. A lot of photos were taken. It was a memorable event and I am glad I participated.

I also had my 1962 300H out to drive it as well a couple days later just for pleasure. The a/c was even still working after a two year hibernation!

Well... if you live in a place where the government has determined people are not smart enough to pump their own gas... its understandable to be a little pissed.

Sweet! I had the pleasure of driving my friend when she got married in my first 68 NYer. Not the same as your 300, but there were pleased to be in a classic.
