My brain hurts thinking about what is involved in handling that collection. I have nowhere near the number of cars and it's a full time job just with my stuff. I couldn't imagine 10x. I like how they keep the walls clean and simple. As I've worked on my museum, I've gotten into the Automobila of the 50's, big time. I'm enjoying collecting that as much, if not more than the cars. They've got some amazing signs in there. My place is 12k sqft, they have 10x that haha. Figuring out your layout, the spacing, power layout, it just goes on and on and on. Incredibly impressive.

some near me has/had a white hemi drop top

Beautiful white conv. but unless the lighting is affecting the color appearance it is painted the wrong white. Only one white in 70(EW1) and that is not it. That looks like the brighter 71 only Sno-white.(GW3)

while the cars are all beautiful, and i'll never have anything like that, i am surprised but the lack of correctness on many of the cars.
it really became apparent when they were showing underhood shots of the AARs and T/As

obviously money isnt an issue, so why not make sure that before each car goes on display that it is correct??

because looking at those AARs and T/As with painted or not painted exhaust manifolds and bypass hoses. and all kinds of other details, and i didnt freeze frame and scrutinize, this was just by watching.

someone told me that all these wealthy collectors care about are the vin #s and clean and shinny and it doesnt matter if all of the parts came right out of the year one catalog or if they were correct original parts

but anyway you slice it, that is a great collection of cars and i enjoyed watching the show, look forward to more like that

My opinion about the collection is many fold. The collection is phenomenal and most likely has no equal or even anything close to its breath and depth. My hats off to the men who had the vision and means to put it together. To hear that 600 outstanding examples of what defines the muscle car era are in a "Private" collection with limited access to view depresses me. Great muscle cars were interspersed all over America and could be seen at local cruise ins, regional and national meets and special events. Now acquiring ownership is more difficult and most enthusiasts have to be content with admiring from afar. I understand and have heard all sides of the collector car market, pros and cons. I am not complaining, crying or letting jealousy interfere (although I am green with envy), its just my take. I thoroughly enjoy MCACAN every year and appreciate what the Brothers Collection brings to the party. Perhaps the collection model is best for the preservation of the era going forward. I would just like them to seriously consider making it all available to the public because if it stays behind closed doors its awesomeness, relevancy, significance and future may be gone after this generation relegates it to just fond memories of a by gone era.
