I dont know, Dick, I'd just as soon have Papa Bahre's collection. At least I would have the Dean Van Lines Roadster then...........

I used to split a hanger with Jay Leno, but now I gotta park my cars in my neighbors driveway...

I'd much rather have Don Smith's (former president of Terre Haute First National Bank and promoter of THAT) collection. I've seen some amazing photos of what he's got.:eek:

I got a chance to get a private tour of the garage with Dick Jordan of USAC and then go to the Tonight Show - it is one of the neatest things I have done - the collection is simply awe inspiring. Keve Kierce who runs sprints on the west coast has is shop in proxmimity and says Jay stops by a lot when they are grilling out and says he is real comfortable when the conversation is cars and racing - he doesn't want to talk about show business.

I had no idea that Don Smith's collection was so extensive. I knew he had Black Deuce restored, but this is mind-blowing.

Does anyone know what happened to the cars that the guy from Bedford, I can't think of his name at the moment, had after he died?
