Default Not an SC, but how's this for a collection?

Top this one ... Every Chevrolet convertible since 1912

Wow! What do you suppose this collection is worth ?

This collection belongs to Dennis Albaugh in Ankeny, Iowa, just north of Des Moines ....

This personal collection consists of 110 Chevrolet convertibles, all the years from 1912 to 1975 and Corvette convertibles from 1953 to 1975.

That is a Chevy convertible from every year of manufacture EXCEPT 1939...
The reason? - For some unknown reason, Chevy didn't make a convertible in '39. They ended their convertible line in '75!

His 'boy toys' include his own 18 hole golf course, copied somewhat after Augusta National.

He is what you call a REAL Chevy guy, but his passion seems to be convertibles !

This billionaire made his fortune selling farm chemicals!

I read up on the prince of pesticides...very impressive.

I was thinking...all those old classic cars...what do you think they are worth?

Do you think they are worth more than this impressive 7-car collection?

http://vehicle.ezinemark.com/impress...684fa7157.html

There are seven cars in the collection including Ferrari Enzo, Ferrari F50 spyder, Ferrari F40, Ferrari 288 GTO, Ferrari 430 Scuderia 16M spyder, Porsche Carrera GT and Porsche RUF CTR3.

How about Ralph Lauren's collection?

Or Jay Leno's?

****OMG!!! Check out the Rossi66 Custom Vette Resto-Mod. Wow!! http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/photos...06#item=144884

How about Jerry Seinfeld? $400M worth of cars...over 50 Porsches. Rumored to have either one of the largest, or the largest 911 collections in the world. WOW!

These are all just astounding collections.

Stuff like this gives the word "rich" a whole new meaning.

Simon Cowell (sp?) of American Idol has some sweet rides too. Not sure if he has as many, but I know he has a special Veyron which is about 30 of Jerry Seinfelds Porsche's price!!! LOL
