LeMay Show and Auction

Went to the LeMay Show and Auction on Saturday and it was a lot of fun. For those who do not know Harold LeMay owned the largest private car collection in the world with something like over 4,000 cars in the collection of every color and breed imaginable. The legend goes that he sold three cars in his lifetime and be bought two of them back. Here are a couple of pictures I took of the collection, will talk about the auction tomorrow.

This is a 1960 or 1961 (not sure which) Dodge Phoenix that had the trunk removed and a camper added!



The collection is so large it is at two different locations. One was LeMay's home (and still is to his wife) and the other is a Military School/Convent that he bought and filled with cars. A bunch of old Metro buses and school buses shuttle you around between the sites. The coolest form of transportation is the double decker buses however, this is the one I rode on.



This was a cool car parked on the lawn at the main house, a Lincoln Continental Suicide Door Convertible.
