Wow, congrats, what an amazing collection! 😍 Any chance you have any 1930 to '35 Buick, Pontiac, Packard, Cadillac, or similar, for sale (in restored or restaurable condition)? Thank you!
Old Trucks are my Favorite to see. Theres plenty of cars out there , but these truly are the Machines that built America From Dump to Tow to Delivery to Shipping Long Haul to Local Deluveries of every Kind
Trucks are much Rarer than cars because NOBODY WENT OUT BOUGHT A MACK TRUCK & PUT IT IN STORAGE
EVERY TRUCK WENT RIGHT TO WORK , MAKING THEM RARE
And when Restored are a Beautiful Sight
Unique in every way
AND EVERY CHILDS DREAM THE
FIRE TRUCK
I've volunteered for the LeMay Family Collection since 2002. The white building at Marymount is not the half of the collection. There are another 200 or so cars at Marymount besides the white building. Also around 70 motorcycles. About two miles away there are 300 or so cars and trucks at the LeMay home site, which is not open to the public. In the surrounding community at various locations there are another 1000 or so cars and trucks in storage. Plus, right on I-5 in Tacoma is LeMay - America's Car Museum, which opened in 2012, with another 250 cars and motorcycles, many of which were donated or loaned to the museum by the family. Mr. LeMay left a treasure for the community which the family continues to share through their commitment to the collection.
That is insane how much money that would take to buy and restore all that.But well done for doing that so people can appreciate
What’s the total number???
@@JL-bs6yz When Harold LeMay passed away in the year 2000, he had over 3500 cars as documented by the Guinness World Records. Many of those were "parts cars." After several auctions and thinning the herd, the family's collection is now around 2200 vehicles. Plus, whatever is in the separate collection at LeMay - America's Car Museum (not part of the family's collection), I'd say 200+ cars there.
This is an impressive collection but IMO it's not as good as the Harrah Collection in Reno NV was. I had a chance to tour this multi-building collection in the 1970's. The biggest difference is that your collection is just a Graveyard for old vehicles. No effort seems to have been made to restore any of them. On the other hand, Harrah employed a full time restoration staff that even included a machine shop that fabricated parts. Harrah's inventory numbered perhaps 1000 cars but each was restored to mint condition and was fully driveable. His inventory even included brand new cars that were going straight into storage never to be driven for decades. This is the type of thing that you can do when you own a NV casino, but the collection was apparently broken up after Harrah died while your collection still remains intact.
I would suggest that an effort be made to restore a small representative selection from your whole inventory. Cheap skilled labor could be gotten from local vocational and trade schools, and such restorations might even become part of their curriculum. Every vehicle in your collection is a diamond in the rough. You should spend some time putting a sparkle into a few of them.
all I can say,,,,,FAAARRR OUT..UNREAL COLLECTION.. PRICELESS..
O.M.G.!! This is the most diverse, eclectic collections I have ever seen...no favortism to any year, make, or model.
And the old machinery in front of them is something you never see...stuff that worked well in its day, and then was discarded....like the vehicles. Wonderful that this gentleman had the money to save it all, and preserve it for future generations.
Thank You for posting this, and wearing out a pair of shoes doing it! 😁
Wow, thanks!
What a gift to us all that Mr. LeMay had the passion and foresight to collect all of these treasures for one and that his family chooses to keep the collection intact and open for us all to see . Simply amazing .....
he had the foresight to be a garbage man
L⁰
At 82 I sure want to visit that collection and regrind memories of many of those vehicles passing down the street when I was a kid. Not a lot of Kaiser Darins around and he has 2. Wow Thanks for the video tour.
So neat to have collectors like this person...these trucks are seemingly the last vehicles to survive their rough lives! This country owes its development to the truck! That collection looks like my mini vehicles on my shelves!
Now weve seen it . Like we people around the world would ever know about this .
unreal collection - thankyou for sharing your time .
By no means is this a Barn Find, BUT it is a life long collection of automobile history. The dream only the purest car nut can have and a very lucky hard working affluent car nut can amass.
Agreed. A wonderful collection, but this is not what would fall under the description of a "barn find". This is a well organized collection.
Just stunned by this collection ! And still I´am !
Got sick of hearing barn find 20 years ago, some come from sheds and garages, too.
one of the best collections of my life. unbelievable I salute you, and I accept you have world record classic car collection. Good Work love you dear.🤩
Wow! Absolutely an incredible collection!
Thank you kindly!
Dizzying experience...thank you for a wonderous tour!
Our pleasure!
And a solitary Volvo P1800 :)
Nothing less than beautiful collection
Absolutely incredible!! I would have never dreamed such a place even existed. I could spend days maybe weeks roaming that building.
Very nice video, thanks for showing the collection!
WOW!! Thank you for sharing
Thank you!
That’s quite a barn and it looks like someone “found” them a long time ago
This is a fabulous collection! Thank you for the video!
Thanks for watching!
I wish you could see this kinda stuff on the roads again... this times of enjoying the ride and just taking it slow is gone . What a beautiful classic collection
Couldn't agree more!
No wonder you were overwhelmed ,pretty varied collection ,cheered from the UK.
It's a very nice collection. Thanks for uploading the video.
So nice of you.
Wow, what an amazing collection!
Thanks!
What a simply fantastic collection - a favourite in every frame. Thanks so much. From the UK.
Many thanks!
This collection is unreal. How many units are there. I can't believe the quality.
I heard over 3,000
If a guy had any of these in his garage, it would be his pride and joy! There are so many here, that it takes away from the individual car.
Un gigantesco Pedazo de Historia" Sobré Ruedas.Saludos desdé "Chile" Gracias...
Wow what a great collection fanstactic one of the best I ever seen
Overload!!! This is like a Hot Wheels / Matchbox collection come to life. So many beautiful vehicles. I could bring a sleeping bag and spend days there.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This collection looks alot better than any car show I've been 2. 👍 thanks 4 the video and GOD BLESS.
Thanks for watching!
That is an incredible collection! How do they keep them clean and shiny? the air conditioner must cost a fortune.
Good question!
They have a great staff of dedicated volunteers. And that building is not air conditioned, but we do have some huge fans at both ends that help with condensation issues
@@michaelconrad9176 - Doesn't the fans also bring in dust?
@@nightlightabcd I remember that you had to be escorted and to witness this, an appointment was necessary. Dust is everywhere. The volunteers and staff should be recognized for keeping everything pristine.
All those vehicles are awesome, a piece of history and American ingenuity. You don't need a chip for any of them to run. Good old days when tech didn't get in the way.
Wish there one for American aircraft
@@billtev9846 Hi Bill, Visit the Air Force Museum in Dayton , Ohio. Like you ,I enjoy aircraft, especially WW2.
That is the most incredible collection in the world and they are beautiful vehicles many i have never heard of before Thank you Sir D.
Wow!!!! I have never imagined that there would be this many of these in the world, much less in a building like that.
Wow this is just incredible thank friend for sharing this
Thank you! Cheers!
WOW!! What a collection. Many rare finds in that building. An absolute fortune in that building. Thank you Mr. LeMay for saving and restoring history for posterity.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video ! I read that Bill Harrah paid spotters to find cars. At one point, he had about 2000 cars. I'm not sure how that squares with the Lemay collection
Thanks for the info.
Herold actually purchased vehicles from that collection
I visited Harrah's museum in Nevada in 1981, when I was 15. He did have 2000 cars at one point. It's too bad they closed down and sold off all the cars.
I saw this and was absolutely mesmerized. Once again, I had to see it but with my wife, the second time. She was absorbed by the mid 30' to mid 40's vehicles. We loved the videos. Mr. Harold LeMay was special!!!! We're from the East coast but would surely visit the museum and white building when we go West. It's a bucket list dream.
wow..... just wow. who said that money doesn't buy happiness ... just watching this vid made me happy....
I love seeing all the small stuff too. I saw an old BEAR Diagnostic computer from probably 80-82’ maybe.
Dit is de pure waanzin....wat een prachtige verzameling....
What a great collection !!!,Always wondered about the stories these vehicles could tell during their lifetime.
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much!
I "discovered" Marymount after learning Lemay's Tucker 48 was not on display at the Tacoma Museum. Two years later on another visit to Seattle after having done my internet research and calling ahead to the nice folks at Marymount I visited with a friend and was blown away by what is there. The Tucker was on the floor but the size and scope of the grounds and facility (and of course the vehicles) were absolutely astounding. Behind the buildings is a maze of dirt roads where school bus after school bus are parked, each one stuffed with car parts. "Old school buses are ideal for storing parts", said a docent. The biggest revelation was that almost no car restoration is done here or at the museum; the cars are acquired as-is and we saw a number of wrecks in storage (a '75 Cougar comes to mind) under crumbling sheds. Marymount is truly a car-nut's idea of heaven and bless Mr. Lemay for his collecting passions!
I loved my visit there a few years ago.
Thanks, great video!! I wish I could sometimes see this with my own eyes
Glad you enjoyed it!
OUTSTANDING..
So wooooowowow from Montreal, Québec, Canada...woowwo insane history of magic creator of vehicule, merci..
Our pleasure!
I was impressed with the quality of that Deusenberg tribute car. Did not know about that particular model.
This place is amazing, wow this is haven
Thank you for taking the time! This is unbelievable!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What I love about these vehicles is that they're all original, NOT restored, so they more accurately depict their working lives. They're only ORIGINAL once.
You need to watch the video again. Many cars have boards showing the restoration process.
Everyone should have a tank in their garage!
Unbelievable glad I got to see all of your treasures
19:05 the kaiser doors slide into the fender, awesome
Yes, I Love the place, Great,
Thank
What a amazing collection !! Never seen anything like it
Thanks for sharing here in 🇬🇧
Thanks for watching!
After after only a few seconds I subscribed so I wouldn't lose this site. I could spend the rest of my life there! I'm going to be doing some sharing of this, you better believe it.
What a collection ! But you sound like an old steammachine yourself ! Better stop breading so heavely in the mic.
Thanks for the view!
This museum is the best museum I've ever seen! I'm speechless!. It's a work of genius, the interesting colours some of cars have been painted! And how also, these colours contrast with each other! I love how there's even a room, just full of JACKS , also painted in bright interesting colours!
One more thing to add to my bucket list.
I was able to go thru this building about 4 years ago. It is totally overwhelming buy the quantity and quality of the vehicles. It was great to see the orang and white 1956 Mercury as that is the car we had when I was growing up. I highly recommend this museum hope every gets a chance to visit.
Where is this place???
Muchas gracias..muy hermoso..todos los vehículos..!!!!
The Mercedes open limo appears to be one of the two Indiana Jones movie cars built from a Jaguar MK lX chassis using some Mercedes parts and the back half of the body from a Jaguar Mark V sedan. Graig Hinton was the builder. The folding top was for looks only and could not be raised.
Que lindo da gosto de ver!!!!!
This is just the overflow.
This is spectacular
WOW .
JUST
WOW
My favorite museum by far. I have been there about 5 times.
Awesome! I didnt see any Willys jeep here they must have some tucked away. Love it thanks so much!
WOW. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Beautiful collection
Thank!
Wow I would have to bring a lunch with me it would take least 2 of them to drag me out, wonderful Collection👍❤️
Thank you 🤗
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
This place should placed on a National Registry so that it's protected forever.
-Yes,for sure. It really does need to be protected for everyone to see.
Totally agree with you
I also agree. The LeMay family placed this under a tax free status by claiming it as a museum. The cost of restoration and housing these works of art should be considered too.
This place is a fricken time machine!!
Barn find like Spanish finding America
But thank you for the show
You are right totally amazing
Wonderful job filming all those cars. Very nice. And lot of history. I'm glad they're keeping up with the up. Keep. I guess I will make a point of visiting . Because of you . Lol thanks
Thanks, will do!
Saw a nice 72 riviera, that 68 chevelle was a 69. Also saw a Powell truck at 16:27. It used a plymouth straight 6 and was built cheap for fleet use. A small startup from Compton Ca.
Not exactly a barn find if it is a well known museum.
Bonito demais ! Quem não guarda um pouco do passado não entende o presente e não tem futuro! PARABÉNS!
What an amazing collection and what I really love is seeing many of them as is, not restored to look like new, because that really takes you back in time
Hardly a Barn find.
The building and racking system alone are mind blowing
Wow, A tour of dreams.
Has a french viewer i ' ve enjoyed the CITROEN models , SM CX 2cv . Really amazing btw.
There was mention of a Ford Zodiac Mark ll in the video, but it was not seen on camera, because it must of been above the car that was shown. The Ford Zephyr/Zodiac is a popular British car that first appeared as the Mark l, Mark ll, Mark lll and Mark lV models. And was manufactured by Ford of Britain from 1950 to 1972. The Zephyr and its luxury variants, the Ford Zodiac and Ford Executive, were the largest passenger cars in the British Ford range from 1950 until their replacement by the Consul and Granada models in 1972.Although the Ford Zephyr never saw American production, a very limited number were imported into the U.S.A.
Wow what a great collection.
Thank you very much!
Awesome
Fantastic collection!
What fun is it having thousands of cars just sitting in a big building doing nothing, when interested buyers would love to own these!?!?!? SELL THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As well as the Citroen 2cv van I spotted a CX25 and an SM. A very eclectic collection now on my bucket list.
Very nice!
And another 2 CV (4 doors).
priceless , is this open to the public ?
just WOW
Jay Leno are you watching this ????
Fire protection: do the vehicles still have fuel in them? Great collection, thanks much for tour.
I believe so.
I’d have one hell of a sore neck after a long tour of that place.
it seems this vid and the entire rest of the world have a different understanding of the phrase "barn-find", I mean, barn finds aren't usually uncovered complete with ID tags and directional floor arrows... clearly a world-class and quite eclectic American vehicle-centric collection. that Durango was a pleasant surprise and there was a yellow Kaiser that was glanced over, that appeared to have sliding doors that looked like it'd be fascinating !!
Wow!
The Emerald truck with the woodend back end is amazing... Never seen anything like it.
Rock and Roll!
DT3073....green car @ 5.14 .....looks like a number plate from a New Zealand registered car ....If it is I wonder how that car ended up back in its home country ? Amazing collection and I hope to view it one day .
