That's really bizarre. Good read though.

That's amazing and sad all at the same time. Would be great if Peter Max actually shocked us all and ended up turning them all into Art Cars in the same vein as the Warhol BMW's then kept/sold them as a collection.

Giving all 36 cars to the one 'lucky' winner was a crazy idea. The cost of storing them alone would be beyond most people.... never mind maintaining and running them. Would have made far more sense to have 36 'lucky' winners. I've recently started downsizing my collection for this reason alone. Plus the more cars you have the more diluted your time becomes so..... have decided that once the project car is finished I'm just gonna have the ONE car and enjoy it...... for a while at least. Excellent thread BTW.

Looking at the second from last picture it doesn't look like it's just Vettes down there... is that a Beetle art car next to the '53? Wonder what else lurks down there?

That's such a waste. Hope the new storage location remains under wraps though, so no scum comes along and starts picking bits off them, or worse. I noticed on the link that there was a reference to the original Herbie Beetle in one of the comments. Does anyone know what happened to it? I googled it, but only found info on the one used in the Lindey Lohan movie. Unless that's the same one?

Shame that they weren't really stored properly. Wonder if they are rotting inside out out though.
If space is an issue, you could quite easily reduce the collection down by selling most of the C3's. After about '73 they aren't well favoured so you could reduce to only have to keep 20 of the cars. I reckon I could arrange the space in my parents garden!

He should have loaned them out to main dealers to display. Would get attention for the dealer and artist. And petrol heads could see the cars
