What do you suppose this collection is worth ?

This collection belongs to Dennis Albaugh in Ankeny , Iowa , just north of Des Moines .

The personal and private collection consists of 110 + Chevrolet convertibles... all years from 1912 to 1975 and Corvette convertibles from 1953 to 1975.

That is a Chevy convertible from every year of manufacture EXCEPT 1939... The reason? - Chevy didn't make a convertible in '39 -- and ended its convertible line in '75!

His 'boy toys' include his own 18 hole golf course, copied somewhat after Augusta National. He is what you call a REAL Chevy guy, but his passion seems to be convertibles !

This billionaire made his fortune selling farm chemicals !

That is my idea of a play room...

I'd want to drive them if I owned a collection like that. I couldn't just let them sit around and look pretty.

Being that I hate all convertibles except for 1, the Shelby GT, my collection would have to all be hardtops instead.

I agree. It's pointless to own a collection like that unless you're either driving them or making money showing them off like a museum, car show type thing. Sure, a guy like that doesn't need money but you'ld think the novelty of just looking at a collection like that would wear off for the owner eventually.
