Am I the only one who doesn't know what the NB center is?

Seems to be the "America on Wheels" facility.

Re: NB Center in Allen Town PA
 

The NB Center is a 21 acre compound located on the site of a former drive-in
movie theater; the screen is still there and is used regularly.

The compound houses Mr. Nicola Bulgari’s private collection of over 150 cars,
mostly American cars from the 30’s and 40’s.
Nicola Bulgari collects vintage cars, especially American marques, in both Allentown, Pennsylvania, and Rome.
His 21-acre facility in Allentown houses 125 cars in seven warehouses. Besides the seven warehouses, four of which hold restoration shops, the 21-acre Allentown compound includes the grounds of a derelict drive-in movie theater, where Mr. Bulgari is building a track and a 24,000-square-foot Italian-themed stone barn for charity events and collector meets. Nicola Bulgari is vice chairman of luxury goods brand Bulgari, which was founded by his great-grandfather. Italian Bulgari established itself as a global luxury brand in jewelry, watches, fragrances, apparel, hotels and resorts. Nicola Bulgari is well known for his car collection, which includes mostly American cars from 1920s to the 1940s. In 2011, the Bulgari family sold its controlling stake to luxury goods conglomerate LVMH for $5.2 billion in cash and stock. https://www.forbes.com/profile/nicol...h=52af4c0f6372

(Pete Hoovie- Thanks for the information. I've been there once but never knew anything about it.)

Re: NB Center in Allen Town PA
 

Wow. I never knew this existed. I'll certainly need to check this out.

Simple; a tax shelter for some ultra-rich guy.

Re: NB Center in Allen Town PA
 

Thanks. Does anyone know of a phone number or email so I can check if they will be open when I can go? Their facebook page is pretty much useless for any visitor information.

Coop,

Looks to be a Museum and a "state of the art restoration center".

It says, "you can take a virtual tour if you buy a ticket."

Re: NB Center in Allen Town PA
 

a really nice auto enthusiast owns/runs the facility. Lots of race cars and a 1922 Olds Super Sport touring with V8---first known use of super sport

Can't blame the dude for charging a small fee.
