What we see in this video appears to be merely (if such a dismissive word can be used in this case) a storage area for cars not currently on display in the main areas of the museum. He was also endowed with a keen eye for classic automobiles, gradually accumulating a collection of over 3,000– so many that, in 1997, the collection was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest in the world in private hands. Endowed with a keen eye for opportunity, LeMay branched out into a variety of businesses, including trucking, towing, and auctioneering. After Harold completed his service as a Seabee during the Second World War, this company evolved into Harold LeMay Enterprises. In addition to those vehicles and artifacts still in family hands, donations from this collection also helped form the nucleus of the LeMay - America’s Car Museum.īorn in 1919, Harold LeMay founded the Spanaway Garbage Collection Company soon after leaving high school. The cars are currently housed in different locations in the vicinity of Tacoma, Washington– including family property and the LeMay Collections at Marymount museum. So I take some issue with Classic Car Rescue’s title for this video, which you can view here on YouTube: the LeMay Family Collection is not a “barn find.” What it is, though, is nothing short of astounding. Not all of these elements have to be present, but at least a couple. For me, the idea of a barn find includes components of the undiscovered, the neglected, and the for-sale.
