Local "Junk" Hoard (Vintage Cars & Motorcycles)

This guy's been hoarding "junk' for years. I've only heard about the place and have driven by it a few times. My baby's doctor's office borders his property, and every time I go there I'm always trying to see what he's got. The last time I drove by, I wrote down the address and was able to come up with these pics through a Google search. I'm going there to check out the hoard. As it turns out the guy likes guests, of course nothings for sale. And among The junk is "the very first car to win Pebble Beach" What ever that means. Enjoy.

It's in Glenview IL. In another set of pictures I saw a very old (pre 1950) Glenview Illinois Fire Dept. motorcycle.

Cool pics. His stuff I guess, but it's kind of a shame to see those cars just sitting there instead of being driven around and enjoyed.

Those old motorcycles are awesome. I love that kind of stuff. I'd eventually like to get an old pan head.
