Another amazing garage...
 
A definite "MUST SEE" in any car buff's life... always a fluid collection as cars are coming and going all the time. In 6 months, you might see 40+ cars that weren't there before!

Cadillac Imaj and the LMP car? Then the Corvette C5R and a Corvette Indy? and the GM Firebirds?!!! It's nice to see a Mako (or two) again too. It's been years since I've seen it in flesh. Opel GT, that Saturn concept. Ancient SAABs and that Trans Am wagon!!!

What is this place?!!

You don't know what you're saying! American automotive history has bazillions to offer! If it weren't for the 50's car boom in America, the world automotive market would be very different, surely for the worse. :thumbup:

If anything, the Japanese car history is the worst.

Definitely Zach, I would've loved to have taken you there a few weeks ago... but I can't do much about it if he's not around. :-\

Oh man! I had that oldsmobile concept matchbox car! Thought it was so cool how the whole body would lift up along with the center seating position... never thought anyone actually had the real thing.

Does it drive? What engine does it have?

79TA 02-04-2008 09:10 PM

aaahhh . . . 2001 #63 ALMS Corvette as driven by Ron Fellows complete with commemorative Dale Earnhardt hash mark!:love: . . . 1987 Oldsmobile Aerotech:clap: . . . the Firebird concepts :biggrin: . . . the original makoshark concept :-) . . . and the '79 "K wagon" to top things off!!! :wub:

and that's just to name a few. That place is packed with legendary GM concept goodness!

Every car in this collection is well maintained and in working running condition, including the Fireblades :)

the Oldsmobile Aerotech is one of two made (both are in this collection) and were both driven by the one and only A J Foyt :)

A couple cars require special handlers... but the others are all quite workable, and every single one is special.... last in a production line, first in line, concept, prototype :)

Yes. 2.3L Turbo Quad inline-4. 850hp... That's right. 850hp.
A long tail version of it driven by AJ Foyt did 267mph. :twisted:
