    Scores of new Chevys stored for decades undriven finally up for sale. Looks like most need to be detailed to get the paint back to its original sheen.
    Lambrecht Chevrolet of Pierce, Neb., was like many Midwestern, small-town dealers - owned and operated by a family, with minimal overhead and little need for advertising since most customers were neighbors. Ray and Mildred Lambrecht ran the dealership with just one employee for 50 years before closing up, and later this year the Lambrechts will sell off a trove of 500-odd vehicles they've held onto over the decades - including roughly 50 with less than 10 miles on their odometers. It's less a car sale than a time capsule auction.

    The car's are the owners personal collection and does occasionally sell's one here and there and buy's a few also you can probably go to there web site and look for there showroom. It is in NPD In Ocala Florida. It is defiantly a must see showroom once a year they have a big car show there and the where house is open to the public to view just about every car and truck you can think of.

    near me -in Idaho- there is a man that had a truckstop many years - he bought every kind of chevrolet engines & hiperf parts & many cars for years! He has them all stored @ his home in enclosed buildings still!! He has been featured in HotRod magazine also. He wont sell a thing yet - likely after hes gone! Everything from early vettes to chevells, chevy11's to early novas -he has .even very early Chevy cars -still all inside. Nice man -just wont sell anything yet.Sad affraid

    The Good Thing about all theses collectors not wanting to sell is that some day our Grand Children can enjoy them and have the same passion as we do and keep Classic Cars and Vanning Alive for many years to come!!!.cheers ... JOE VAN...
