jeff is such a delight to listen to, the stories really add to the cars history and i like others could listen to him all day long, what a great story-teller and what a great collection and the buildings themselves are an intregal part of the whole thing, kudos jeff.and you have a magnificent understanding wife to boot.
Fantastic representation of the Villa Riviera! I know George would be very happy to see the car is still going strong. Thank you for keeping his custom's and legacy alive.
Fantastic!!! What an awesome garage, some of the stories of past owners and what they did with the car is an adventure! Jeff, you should pick a car and do some exciting things with it and go on some epic adventures, and document each bit so that in the future you can also have a car in the museum that tells the story of your life with the car personally. Your garage is finished to a great level of detail, thanks for the inspiration!!
What a fabulous collection and great stories and history to go with it! I will add one thing. If I am not mistaken, you missed another Hollywood credit which belongs to the George Barris, custom Buick Riviera. I am pretty sure this car was driven by the character Henderson James (played by actor Ron Randell) in an episode of the original 1960's TV series, The Outer Limits. The episode was called The Duplicate Man and it was episode 13 of season 2. This episode also featured a very unique house known as the Chemosphere House. It was designed by architect John Lautner and was seen in a few exterior shots. As a kid growing up in the 1960's, I fell in love with both and wanted to live in that house and drive that custom Buick Riviera! It's nice to know that both are still around, so my dream could still come true!
Roger, Roger, Thank you for commenting. You are correct, the Villa Riviera was Henderson James car in the Outer Limited episode “The Duplicate Man”. The car was also on Perry Mason and appeared in ads for a department store and Cal Custom. James Darren loved the car so much he arranged with Barris to use it as his personal transportation. George Barris never missed an opportunity to promote. Jeff
Wow, Thanks…. Brought back memories of N. WEBSTER, WARSAW, Fort Wayne, INDIANA, etc “Speed Shops” ( some more Auto Parts ,& misc.)…And probably,I MAY HAVE paged through that 1967 Rod & Custom Magazine:: as I generally bought only ROAD & TRACK, OR Motor Trend Magaines ( leafing thru pages on others, on most Hot Rod)….in my early days at Purdue..actually I was STILL buying most magazines at “Drugstoresl”, Thru 1990s approximately. Interesting, as I was in Pharmacy School until June 1965-1970.. actually memory has it that we got Glues(* especially **fresh glues), Testors Paints, AND MODELS AT the Drugstore’s……too. Great tour…. PS: I started hanging out in Service Stations ( Gas ,parts,& Repairs) a lot in starting before 1962, etc.
My Dad's dragster has found a home. Thank you Jeff. Dad moved from Orange, MA, in 1967 and took the dragster with him - first to Atlanta in storage, then to the basement of his home in Hanceville, AL. When he moved to Watkins Glen, NY, to be near me the dragster came along and was given to his Nephew to restore. He did , and it won its class at the Boston car show about ten years ago. Now Jeff has it, and amazingly he got it running! Dad would weep to know that it is being saved and appreciated in this way. [Oh, one interesting tid bit. Dad spray painted everything with spray cans of paint - and the color blue on the dragster required several coats.]. The New England Timing Association (NETA) was the sponsor of the drags at Orange and Dad made it happen.
The Barris’ Villa Riviera, wow an real signature Custom. The 57’ Nomad is so detailed it looks like a life size model from Revell. The dragster is the coolest wall art for all Car Guys. Excellent Jeff, Thanks for the tour.😎👍🇨🇦
Ron Lynch The difference between automotive designers and customizers is what they can do!. Customizers have alot less constraint then designers do, or so it seems, Take a look at the front clip of that Barris custom 63 Buick Riviera and then go look at a 65 Riviera and tell me what you see?.
Amazing collection. One of the best tours out there. I love how Jeff knows all the stories and former owner names by heart. I could spend a weekend and then some hanging out in this garage and learning from him. Gary
Mr Goldstein, You are a gracious host, to let us in on your love of life. I Thank You for the sharing of your joy with each telling of each car.I watched all three videos with the feeling that me and my life long friend are talking and reminiscing......
The most detailed version of the 57 Nomad Revell ever made, was of this car. The photo of the car at the beach was on the box. I remember that I bought it because of the wire wheels, and they weren't included in the kit. I also remember that the wheels steered, and the tailgate opened two ways.
Another WOW! Thanks, Jeff and Petersen Automotive for another great video! Jeff, I am dumbfounded with how much information and back story you share as you go through each item. Quite frankly, wonderful and many thanks for sharing! :)
Thank you! You have done a stellar job of presenting these wonderful cars and I'm super happy for you, It's inspirational that a little boy with matchbox cars n dreams has strived and achieve the real deal in later life. Well-done be proud.
A custom painted 57 Chevy without frenched headlights is like pancakes without maple syrup. GM stylist must have had heart attacks after one glimpse of that Barris Riviera.
This old man needs friends. He is so freaking obnoxious. We get it; you did well in life and have all the fruits of your labor. But what's the point when it's always empty of people and soul. When he sits in there alone, his ears must ring because of all the silence.
Thanks for sharing your possessions and passions!

Your Father was an inspiration to every kid in a back yard under a tree with a box full of wrenches 🤠👍

Steve,
Thank you! Indeed, it was a challenging kit to build.
Cool looking speed shop mock up!
Just another 1 - 2 percenter with too much money and time on their hands showing off their toys.
This has got to be one of the coolest garages ever!!! Love every inch
He has fantastic taste 😎👍🏆

How many garages (aka Speed Shops) have a vertically mounted dragster. Passion extraordinaire! Bless you Jeff!
Frank,
Thanks, you know I had to do something different with it.
Always enjoy hearing about model building!!!!! 👍👍👍
Very cool video really enjoyed!!! 😊😉👌
Throttle Power,
Thanks for commenting, there's no limit to the influence model building had on our generation.
@@jeffreygoldstein506 👍👍 Exactly, I think that's why I still do it today!
Always have visions of 1965 Rivera (station wagon) Nomad/VistaCrusier rear......
Donna,
Thank you, sounds like you need to mash some models together.
Inspirational speed shop set up. Chevy nomad stunning.
Live Life,
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Woody Woodbury was a stand-up comic who did bawdy spoken-word records (in early stereo) for a small label "Stereoddities"
Thank you! You have done a stellar job of presenting these wonderful cars and I'm super happy for you, It's inspirational that a little boy with matchbox cars n dreams has strived and achieve the real deal in later life.

Jon Farguson. Should get story right on who painted the c;one.
Wow

Thank you!
