· ·Never Used A KodakI had the privilege of visiting mega car collector and philanthropist Steve Plunkett and his toys today.
About 20 years ago, while on patrol, I saw a very nice Buick being driven on snow covered roads.
It looked like Kojak’s car…
Reason for the stop? Nobody in their right mind would drive that in snow. Too nice. Must be stolen.
The driver pulled over (first hint that it was not stolen). It was Steve Plunkett.
He thanked me for being nosey enough to pull him over. Nosey cops get results… Following a nice chat, he told me to drop in anytime and he would show me his classic cars.
I never did stop in, until today.
These are true classics. Prototypes, autorama models, Hollywood props, even King Edward’s car after he gave up his throne for love.
We started in his underground garage. This garage is linked by tunnel to another building on the 100 plus acre property.
The door to the tunnel holds signatures from countless celebrities and personalities who have visited over the years. See photos.
Our tour then took us to an adjacent building that houses true classics. Pebble Beach and Amelia Island Concours car.
Our host Steve is very passionate about each car in his collection. A very down to earth man. If you’re into cars, he can talk cars with you all day. If you’re not into cars, I am pretty sure he’ll talk cars with you all day.
I located a couple time keepers but was unable to get good shots. Car guy… not a watch guy.
These next photos are all from one building, one of several and I would have needed more time. I only visited two structures.
Hum… time to inspect some leather straps… they are perfect, like the cars.
Here’s looking at you… damn photo bomber!
More…
Next building…this one housing lots of clocks, advertisement, a car owned by Johnny Cash (not the one he built out of stolen parts!). Van Johnson’s car and so much more. See next post. I have reached the 100 photo limit. Pretty amazing that OF can handle this many…
