Not sure whether this video was already mentioned here, I guess it is sweet enough to watch twice:

Saw it before, however, as you said Alfred nice to see it again.

Lenny sure must be content when he works and fixes little things on his cars. He must have a special plate and insurance arrangement to take some of them for a spin here and then.

Lenny Shiller has been written up in the NYT amongst other places. Very cool collection, very down to earth guy.

The one main disadvantage I see to larger car collections (more than a handful) is the need to use each one enough that it doesn't deteriorate just from sitting (brakes seizing up, gas going bad, rubber drying out and so on). This particular collection, with so many cars parked in front of each other so that it seems like a giant puzzle if you want to get 'the one in the back' out for a drive, would be a major challenge to keep in good shape. Nice collection though.
