Amazing Car Collection

At long last I had time to do some of the home improvement/preventative maintenance that I had been hoping to do for a while. The first order of business was to buy a fancy Japanese pole saw to saw off various tree branches that were brushing up against the house. The Japan Woodworker in Alameda is the place to go for things like this (i.e. sharp Japanese things) and along the way I noticed a warehouse overflowing with shiny cars. I pulled over to take a look and it turned out to be a private collection of hot rods and muscle cars. The owner graciously let me take a look inside and explained some of the history of the cars. He even let me snap a few photos. Once inside, I quickly realized that this was no ordinary collection... Even I, who know very little about hot rods or muscle cars could see that!
Dodge Challenger

Pontiac GTO

1935 Auburn Speedster. Supercharged! The owner told me that every car (only one hundred something produced) was certified to go 100 mph. You could return it if it didn't hit that speed. Pretty amazing for 1935!

One of these recently was sold at auction for almost $400k

Cord 821: Flip up lights and front wheel drive... in 1936!

Shelby GT500
