the guy that owned ALL THAT died not to long ago. at the 99 mvpa convention thay had 4 hour tours, 4 hours bearly gets you though the shop, let along to see the restored stuff, THEN there is the UNRESTORED stuff, i would say from what i saw on the tour, it would take a good WEEK to see everything. i guess you couold do it in 2 days just walking and looking, laying hands on and talking , climbing in and on, under,, would be a week. you have no idea of the rush you feel when you first lay eyes on , all you can do is saw WOWWWWWWWWWWWW

Jacques Littlefield passed away just last January, not in 99. He was an awesome gentleman and a true credit to our hobby. Its a good example of what a Billionaire can do.

That collection has been on TV before. I think the History Channel did a good walk through of the place. The reason I became a heavy diesel mechanic was to work on that kinda stuff. It's a shame Littlefield past away, he was a inspiration and goes to show not all rich folks are hard to relate to. I would love to see his collection in person. Thanks for posting this video, I must have missed this episode.

I have been to the collection twice. They just lost the restoration building to the family and are still in the 4 other buildings plus have the barn full that has less then 2 inches between each vehicle. The family is half way supporting the museum but are half way kicking the museum away.
