An Attachment to Cars Gets Out of Hand

During his five decades running a Chevrolet dealership in Nebraska, Ray Lambrecht held onto his customers’ trade-ins and quite a few new models too, amassing a collection of more than 500 cars, which he parked on a nearby farm. An auction of his collection drew 25,000 people, was filmed for the History channel, and raised $2.8 million; a 1958 Cameo pickup truck with 1.3 miles on the odometer brought $140,000, according to The New York Times. Lambrecht died recently at age 96.
