Title: The Brothers Collection
Post by: 57chero on 2022-12-05 23:09
I can't describe how amazing this muscle car collection is you need to google it and see for yourself, never knew it was just 35 miles down the freeway in Salem, Oregon Normally not open to the public they had an open house for charity Yesterday and were overwhelmed with the amount of people that showed up for $10 and an unwrapped toy, 117,000 sq. ft. of everything you could imagine. Every color of 05-06 Ford GTs, Boss 302s, Boss 429s, lightweight Fairlane's and Galaxie's, Comets, Shelbys, Cobras and that's just the Fords. Ferraris, Lambos, 53 to present Corvettes, Yanko's, Rows of Hemi Cudas and Challengers, Roadrunners and on and on and on, lots of one Only's and low mileage cars for instance a pink 67 Mustang fastback with 3 miles, they also have two of the four 66 Shelby GT350 convertibles made, the 66 proto type GT40 one of one the Holman-Moody 65 Galaxie 427 S.O.H.C that won Daytona in 65, I was so amazed I forgot to take a lot of pictures.

Thanks for posting...........that's a hell of a collection. If it were mine, I can't imagine the stress level opening it to the public. It certainly was built for display.

That pink Mustang with 3 miles on the odometer was probably a Hefner gift to a Playmate of the Year that was never driven.

When I lived in BC Canada, I went to the now defunct "Museum of Speed" in Wilsonville Oregon, just South of Portland whenever I went racing at Woodburn Dragstrip. They always had a number of cars on display from the Brother Collection, all extremely nice cars. Until the first time I went to that museum, I had never heard of the Brothers, who seem to prefer to stay out of the public eye, but obviously have great taste in cars, and deep pockets to amass such a collection. Between them, and the LeMay Collection in Tacoma Washington, the Northwest is certainly a hotbed of cool cars.

I forgot to mention the hundreds of original neon signs all over the place, and one of the volunteers said what we're seeing is only two thirds of what they have, they have another building full. A couple of odd balls that were on display was a 66 f100 Texas pursuit vehicle step side box 428 with a three on the tree with all the original radios and police stuff inside painted black and white with a Texarkana police shield on the door, like this guy was saying from your rear-view mirror it looks like your average Ford pickup, one other one was a 66 Galaxie 4 dr. hardtop black walls poverty hub caps 427 dual quads 4 speed with the original build sheet, also the one and only black 70 boss 302 with black graphics.

Simplest way is to email them to yourself and then save them on your PC.

That picture of the Boss 429, I guess due to the lighting and reflections, almost appears to have a gold stripe that starts at the headlights and flares out towards the rear wheel well. I kinda like it!
