    That is a really nice collection with a good mix of styles. Nothing too exotic or too rare but all are still VERY collectable.

    I like the fact that a few of the cars, including his family's first new car from 1965, were owned and driven on a daily basis, and he still owns them, including the crappy Lincoln (which still looks new)! There's usually a good story to go along with each as well. Check out his fretting about buying a Plymouth in April 1970, needing his parents to co-sign the loan, hitting the big time in May 1970, then buying the most expensive Ferrari available in 1972.

    It's obvious he's been a car nut for a long, long time. I didn't realize he was so cool. I think I'll go listen to some Carpenters. :D

    +1

    The 1959 Plymouth Sport Fury is an exceptionally cool, and collectable, model. It gave me flashbacks to being 17 again and cruising with some STEEL in the ride.

    However, I won't be listening to any Carpenter's tunes anytime soon. ;)

    I was just listening to some Carpenters last night. Great sounding recordings. Pleasant too. Nice cars! I saw in the faq's he has a Dennon stereo.
