Chromecop Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Wow, that's how I'd like to have my car parked as well! Will never happen I'm afraid..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jairus Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 That makes more sense today with modern engines and pressurized fuel systems. Today’s cars really don't stink much but the older cars with their vented gas tanks and carburetors smelled of gas and oil all the time. Even the new ones! It's sort of like smokers... you really notice them now that smoking is all but banned, but there was a time when you walked into a building and really didn't notice. It was simply a part of the ambiance. It’s the same thing with older cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 A high school friend of mine discovered that the family room in his house was once a garage and the overhead door was behind the wall. He opened it up to allow a car inside his family room and now his fully restored, gold spinner award winning '67 Camaro Pace Car Convertible sits on display. He also has several "spare" bedrooms that are lined with NOS replacement parts for his collection of approximately 10 first generation Camaro's that based upon the current market, are outperforming any mutual fund! Needless to say, he is a confirmed bachelor and enjoys his passion for cars. Mike scheve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zebm1 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Many years ago, my oldest sister waz married to the son of a Cuban cigar Patron in Tampa. Tha Father-in-Law lived on Davis Island and tha front wall of his house had a very large set of barn doors in tha wall. Behind those doors F-in-L kept his Mint Collection of eight 19 -ought Rolls Royces including some Silver Ghosts. My sis rode ina 1919 Rolls from tha Synagogue to tha airport. :wink: Zeb :twisted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darquewanderer Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Kinda reminds me of "Vegas" with what's his name and the other guy. Anyway what's his name lived in a converted storage locker and kept his '56 ('57?) T-bird in there with him. Kinda cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Payne Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Fritz Schlumpf, who tried to buy up all the Bugattis, had a Bugatti in his living room. It was better looking than his girlfriend..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbwelda Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 thats a cool concept; that car is sculpture though i would be almost sure, with all fluids and "stinky stuff" drained out. but if it were mine i would have my birdcage, my d-jaguar and my lotus 15 parked in the front room. if i had any of those. or a house.

Modellpularn Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Now there's a cool idea for my garage to be, at the summerhouse....maybe my mom wasn't so off in her fantasies about an art gallery in the garage... :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 They should have used a lighter car, a VW bug at the absolute largest (Anglia 100E if the project was sponsored by Ford?), as you'd have to push the car in and out to avoid gassing everyone in the house!
