I was lucky enough to meet Bruce randomly at the Porsche experience center in Los Angles. He couldn’t have been nicer. A great ambassador to the car culture. Great video
Every-time I watch one of these, I realize the most important thing is to simply let "the caretaker" talk, and the wonderful stories pour fourth to our ears. Great stuff.
By far, Bruce is the nicest auto enthusiast I have ever met. At 80+ years old, he recalls things (names, dates, specs, lineage, etc.) that amazes me and should amaze any other automotive enthusiast. At 60+, I don't know what I had for lunch two days ago. I've seen him at the Petersen more times than I can count and have a video of him driving the '57 Tessa Rosa home after a Sunday "cars and coffee". The man loves to see these treasures driven, and driven properly. He is a true gift to the automotive community. Great interview, thanks for posting.
I could listen to Bruce talk all day! My wife and I had the pleasure of seeing a lot of these cars at the Petersen when we were in LA in 2019. Amazing how much knowledge and history he knows off the top of his head. Great video Jason!
As a SoCal guy I always think of Bruce Meyers - of Meyers Manx fame. He just passed last year at 94. Mr Meyer used to race dirt bikes in the day iirc, and looks amazing at 81. Need to visit his collection - and also Canepa’s up in NorCal.
Great to see his collection. I have met Bruce several times and got to talk with him for an hour or more in the stands at Bakersfield. I'd say all my lifetime collection of cars and parts and memorabilia is probably worth less than Bruce's cheapest car but we sat there and talked as regular car guys and he impressed me as a down to earth genuine car guy.
I don’t know anything about these two guys but the interviewer sounds like a really knowledgeable and respectful guy and the owner of these cars seems to be the salt of the earth - no idea how he earned his fortune but I’d willingly work for a person of what seems to be such excellent character and temperament
It's Official... Bruce Meyer has the most toys!! Didn't those Bizzarrini's have a 327 Chevy engine in them? I'm surprised It wasn't mentioned. What a collection...
It is always an immense pleasure to see Bruce's Collection... even if it is a video. The quality of this diverse collection seems to focus on historical significance and pure beauty. So while Mr. Meyer may reference his missed opportunity for the GTO v 4 Cam trade, the beauty is all there anyway (Ahem, and the 275 GTB/4 has a more advanced engine anyway!). Since beauty and historical/technical significance are mainstays, might a Miura be a missing element here Mr. Meyer? ;-)
Bruce is one of the ‘coolest’ car guys in the USA, and being a ‘Yooper’ myself, it was nice to hear him say that he recently drove that old big black classic car in a rally up here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (ie; ‘Yooper’) ! 👍
I met Bruce at the Grand national roadster show a few years back. One hell of a nice guy. He was so humble when I asked him if he was the same Bruce Meyer that designed the Myers Manx. I knew it was not him but it was funny. He's a character.
Well that was my first video of Cars and Culture and i’ve never clicked subscribe so fast! Delightful banter, chock full of petrolhead factoids, thanks for sharing
Top quality content! 😎 Bruce is a proper car guy, humble also, which is very impressive. The ‘we don’t own these cars, we’re caretakers’ proper attitude, love that… 👊 How on earth do you only have 7.5k subs 😳 madness, I’m on board 👍
What a fantastic presentation. Subscribed. You two are absolute magic together. I could listen to this for a long time and still be smiling. As awesome as this collection is I enjoyed you both as much. Thank you gentlemen.
81? He looks like he is 68. Great and tasteful collection building. I especially like the library / documentation area. This is how such cars and all literature should be displayed.
I went to USAF Officer Training School in 1967 in San Antonio. We were all recent college grads and had new cars. Corvettes, GTO's, etc. They made us park our cars in a high fenced area and we could visit them on Saturday to start them, but not drive them for 6 weeks. One of our classmates had a gullwing Porsche. His grandmother had given it to him for his college graduation present. I had never seen one before and only a couple since. Wonder where it is today.
anybody that owns a ctr is an utter legend!!!! people say its a yellowbird No, there is a yellowbird still driving and doing stephan rossier style laps. there's only 1 yellowbird. there's several yellow ctr's like your extraordinary example but no yellowbirds around. ive been a RUF fanatic since 1985 and i love that youve done so much content with your car and Mr. Alois. your a truly outstanding member of the car community. mega mega garage full of cars. not a collection
@@CarsAndCulture yes sir, I was just pointing out they are yellow ctr's. The yellowbird is a specific vehicle. It was 211mph fastest car, nurburgring video car and is still with the family. The other cars technically are the yellowbird. They ctr's. I wasn't trying to be a jerk I just people often confuse it be well amigo
Indeed a top Bloke is Bruce I met him a bunch of times when I owned LimeWorks Speedshop in California , he is a Hot Rodder first & the consummate classic car enthusiast . Thanks for a great interview/tour .
Pity we didn't get to the bikes as well. I noticed a Manx Norton & possibly a 7R AJS in the background. Great video, no doubt it could've continued indefinitely.
I was thinking he looks pretty good for 60.... he's 80? Great guy and I enjoy that you didn't ask too many question just kept low key and let Bruce roll out the stories. Thanks for this you are a good interviewer.
We owned a Gull Wing Riley..... yes, Gull Wing Riley. The experts will tell you that no such car existed but it did. Story is that after WW2 a body builder/designer from Ferrari decided to start a new life in Adelaide, South Australia. Johnny Pagnusat was the gentlemans name. Beautiful car and one of one, Johhny built it to show his talents. Still have a photo of it.
Bruce is a wonderful guy. I saw him pretty often when I worked at Shelby, and he is just a knowledgeable, funny, friendly person.
Great soul
I was lucky enough to meet Bruce randomly at the Porsche experience center in Los Angles. He couldn’t have been nicer. A great ambassador to the car culture. Great video
This guy seems amazing. So generous and down to earth. Love it.
No one is nicer and more knowledgeable than Bruce Meyer. No one ☝️.

Bruce is a remarkable guy!
Such a gentleman, he even mentions the cameraman. Not just once, but both at the beginning and end of the video.
I could listen to Bruce talk all day! My wife and I had the pleasure of seeing a lot of these cars at the Petersen when we were in LA in 2019. Amazing how much knowledge and history he knows off the top of his head. Great video Jason!
Here's a rich, successful man, who likes to buy rare, beautiful cars and likes to share them with the public. A rare type of gentleman.
A great man indeed.

Love Bruce Meyer and his passion for cars. What a collection 👌. Great video, many thanks 🙏
What a wonderful collection. Bruce has instant recall on each car's history
What a nice guy Bruce is. Hopefully all these private collections remain intact for future generations.
He's the youngest 80 year old I've seen
I burst out loud when he said that! “He’s 81?!”
His mind is still sharp as well.
Surrounding himself with beautiful interesting things I'm sure helps 👍
Yes. He looks great! One of the 4 guys in LA who like to see the US Flag! Old school.
@@jamesdellaneve9005 Really? Four guys?
Hope I'm that sharp when I'm 80.
What a nice guy. Beautiful car collection. I still can’t get over the fact that he is 80? That man found the fountain of youth
I don’t know anything about these two guys but the interviewer sounds like a really knowledgeable and respectful guy and the owner of these cars seems to be the salt of the earth - no idea how he earned his fortune but I’d willingly work for a person of what seems to be such excellent character and temperament
Thank you for just letting Bruce share his passion
I sent Bruce a letter he came up with it two months later what a gentleman to call me and apologized for everything great man.
It's Official... Bruce Meyer has the most toys!! Didn't those Bizzarrini's have a 327 Chevy engine in them? I'm surprised It wasn't mentioned. What a collection...
What an awesome person and life is what you make it. Thank you Bruce! You are an inspiration for many.
My new favorite channel! 👍
Never mind Bruce's car and bike collection, I aspire to be as fit, in as good Shape and health,and a razor sharp memory in my 81st year👍
The memory is "to die for" nws he's prob told these same stories 1000X
Amen God Bless Him 🙏🏻
what a super nice guy he is , very generous with his time showing his collection , respect Bruce
Awesome, awesome and awesome!
80 years old and sharp as a tack.Enthusiasm is what keeps you going.
Super cool dude , bad ass cars .
What a nice guy Bruce Meyer is. The consummate car guy and gentleman. Thanks for posting!
Mr Meyer has always come across as such a gentleman and true automotive enthusiasts. Saying this is a $50M collection HAS to be hitting it VERY low.
Yup it's more like 150 Mill
Bruce Meyer never met him before but he is ..... a really nice fella. Class.
It is always an immense pleasure to see Bruce's Collection... even if it is a video. The quality of this diverse collection seems to focus on historical significance and pure beauty. So while Mr. Meyer may reference his missed opportunity for the GTO v 4 Cam trade, the beauty is all there anyway (Ahem, and the 275 GTB/4 has a more advanced engine anyway!).

Gentleman " Bruce"..... thanks for the show room tour. Epic , falls short, but will have to suffice! 👍🏁👍🏁👍
Thank you for watching the tour!

What a great film, amazing cars and what a great guy Bruce is.

Great. Thank you for sharing this amazing cars
Glad you enjoyed!
Bruce is the real deal. What a guy!
I hope Bruce is friends with Jay Leno.. The two of them together on a show would be so fascinating .
Great men, great host, great interview, great channel!

Awesome 👏👏👏👏 o glad I came across your posting, such a pleasant experience
What a guy.
Generous!
81? He looks like he is 68. Great and tasteful collection building. I especially like the library / documentation area. This is how such cars and all literature should be displayed.

There were actually 29 Yellowbird's built, this being one of them!!

Wow - spectacular. Well done.
I would go crazy trying to keep the dust off of all of those incredible cars.

Magic. Just magic. Thank you 🙏🏻
WOW! Thanks for sharing🎉
Yo. awesoem edition! 😎

wow, Bruce is such a legend! I'm very impressed by him!
What a fine man and magnificent collection
Insane collection, thank you so much for the video!

This was an amazing tour! Well done!!
Impeccable collection!
Thank you for this 😎

Awesome collection nicely done.
Guys like Bruce are my Superstars !!!!!!! From an unapologetic car enthusiast !!!!. If you don't like cars I can't talk to you.
That guy is like an encyclopedia of car knowledge….Wow!!
Great tour, Jason! Keep it up 💪
I like the used car sign the back
Wow what an amazing collection!
Definitely a 50 mill collection. Very impressive.
Thank you for this.
wow that was way too short
Love does corvettes and cobra 👍
Nicely done.
Wow, now that’s a lovely man and a wonderful car collection 👌👍
I'd like to see Bruce and Jay playing Top Trumps with their garages...
What a stunning collection. I absolutely love the Dusenburg and Bugatti.... is your collection open to the public?
What a great guy. 👍
Key phrase, don't get divorced to have a great car collection like that!
Wow he looks good for 81
I'm sorry did he just say hes 80 going on 81 wow. He looks and sounds like he's in his 50s. He has amazing collection. Thanks for sharing.
WOW , Nice guy Bruce good on you . a proper car guy .
Bruce is 81 this year?!? I thought like way less
The Man🙌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💯🙏🏻👌🏻
Holy crap! I can't believe this man is 80 years old. I would have guessed 68
What a nice guy.
We owned a Gull Wing Riley..... yes, Gull Wing Riley. The experts will tell you that no such car existed but it did.

The future called and said "Thanks Bruce"
💯
Now, that's a garage!
Great video. The Ferrari 61 is worth $15 million alone so his collection is probably worth over $100 million.
In my next life I want to be a Bruce Meyer.
Sometimes I hate being born in the late 80s. How can I ever afford to buy cars like this man did
I hear ya. The challenge now is MUCH greater than being born back in the day.
I use to own the trailer that Tommy Greer and Keith Black use to haul that dragster on.
What a class act
what a cool guy ; )
That RUF!
