- Harold "Lucky" LeMay's legendary car collection is one of the largest car collections in the world, which he started from his earnings as a successful businessman. Shortly after LeMay graduated high school, he started in an automotive business, when someone lended him a garbage truck. With this truck, LeMay started Spanaway Garbage Collection Company, which later became Harold LeMay Enterprises. His refuse company became one of the largest in the Tacoma, Washington area. LeMay went on to make a fortune with Harold LeMay Enterprises, as well as other companies such as Lucky Towing, Helm Trucking, and Lucky Sales & Services. With the money he made off his businesses, he purchased cars, trucks, motorcycles, and memorabilia, eventually owning one of the largest private automobile collections in the world. At its peak of the collection, LeMay owned over 3,000 cars! Despite his success and wealth, LeMay was known to be a down-to-earth and kind man.
LeMay - America's Car Museum is one of 2 public exhibits that preserves LeMay's legacy, and houses around 350 of the LeMay's automobiles. Another property in Marymount, the LeMay Family collection, houses an additional 500 of LeMay's automobiles.
We first heard of the LeMay collection about 4 years ago, so it was very nice to finally visit the museum to get a taste of what the LeMay collection has to offer. Although we didn't get to see a majority of the collection, we were impressed at the rarity and quality of the cars at the museum! This is definitely a must see for any car enthusiast if you happen to be in the Tacoma, Washington area.

I going to visit this place soon.
I’ve been there about 5 times love it every time
Just bearing about this museum. I live in Olympia WA not far from Tacoma. My husband of two years lived in Spanaway way since the late 80s. He'll have to take me there soon! Awesome video!
Mr. Lemay spun his Garbage Collection business into gold and preserved so much of automotive history. I'm Proud this museum is in my home town and he was part of our community. I personally donated a 1980 4 door Lincoln Mark VI porthole window edition in very nice shape. I'm allowed to see it whenever I choose.
That's great! He has an amazing life story, and the city of Tacoma was such a beautiful city to visit. I hope to travel to the Pacific Northwest again soon!
Probably one of the nicest automotive museums I've seen. I hope I get to visit it some day. Thanks for the walk around, allot of great cars.
I’m late but it’s really nice
This is a great walk-around video ( I found it more enjoyable after I increased the playback speed to 2X.) Thank you for making this video.

This is a wonderful video for a disabled auto enthusiast......UNABLE to attend car shows anymore. Thank you.
Sorry to hear that. Thank you for checking out the video.
Been there couple times.....lucky enough to only live 3 hour drive north ( Canada) Worth a stop anytime your in the area. Great staff. Terrific views off back veranda....and an amazing structure when you study the construction....Theres my two cents worth...lol
My personal favorite in this museum, MGA Roadster 13:51 .
Wow it so coooooollll❤❤❤

YeaaaaaaaaaY
Nice video and gave a thumbs up.
Nice to see the collection of Brooklin model cars at the end. I wonder if they were also for sale in the shop?
I don't recall if they had those in the gift shop or not. Nonetheless that was an impressive display shelf.
Hello TwinRodders do you mind if i use some of your footage to do a special on Lemay
Huh? No Cartercar?
My MGA shows up at 13:50. Woo-hoo!
Nice MGA! It must be a real honor to have it in one of the best museums in the world.
Thanks! It is indeed an honor, but I miss driving it. It's a great runner. I may fetch it back in spring of 2018. Not sure yet.
What year was this model?
Looking for 54 chevrolet
A station wagon at about 19:29.
This museum is 10 mins away and i have never gone😂
Come on man it’s like 15 and I’ve been like 6 times

What do you mean
Pathetic presentation of what should be an outstanding mueseum... erase it and try again so no one else wastes that much time.
No. I don't think I will.
Dude cheer up and stop being a downer.
Bruce, I'm usually pretty critical of video technique, etc., but nothing stood out for me here. Could you make a few specific observations? I'd be most interested. Walt
