My guess is that its about Harold Lemay and the collection he amassed. There are two museums with his cars, both of which were toured during the MAFCA national meet last summer.

I can't think of anyone else in Washington with THAT many cars!

I have a membership to the Lemay America's car museum and try and go every couple months. They rotate displays every few months to keep things interesting. Right now they are running an exhibit on the Ford F-series and have pretty much every body style covered over the last 60+ years.

Thanks for the heads up ! Very worthwhile watch !!
Just happenstance, was up at 12 am and this program came on. It's hard to understand/believe how one man's collection (in one lifetime) can add up to over 100 million $ worth of cars ! It was more astounding than a look at both museums would ever suggest. This 'documentary' showed hundreds of cars in various state of decay...in addition to the massive collection of beautiful original and/or restored vehicles.
Colby was game to crank up and drive a beautiful model t touring ('24 ?).
She did good on the crank part, except no one showed her the proper 'hand hold for safety' technique. So, she wrapped both hands around the handle and let fly.
