5window,
The guy lived on Route 206. I passed his place manytimes. Yes, unless you knew him, he would greet you with a gun. I have a friend who could get in to his collection. Some years back the collection went up for auction onsite. The Smithsonian was there to buy the gondolas. The 35 Chev convert went for about $75 I think. Many of the cars had been used a storage containers for small stuff. The word got out that his lady had stored her diamonds in one of the cars. This helped prices. I could not attend. There was big trouble with the local police as customers were buying a vehicle loading it on their trailer outside the yard and then removing the junk that was in the vehicle unto the side of the road. For instance one car was full of wet military overseas caps. Whatta mess.
