Bob Bahre, RIP

“Some guys chase broads,” Bahre told the Robb Report in 2013. “I chase cars.”

93 years, quite a run.

Bet you his totally famous and huge car collection, http://www.flickr.com/photos/mjkbost...7594270537692/ located in Paris, Maine gets sold off one by one to the super rich, all around the world.

You can't take it with you, so what do you do with all these nice old cars?

This extensive collection was put into a trust for public display after the collector's death. We have been there twice.

I have to admit I don't miss those traffic jams.

This www.sealcoveautomuseum.org/blog/ located on the quiet side of Mt Desert Island looks like the perfect new public home for Bob's car collection.

Seems like Seal Cove will be needing a large crowbar to squeeze all these new old cars inside their building, there. Is gonna be a tight fit, car garage museum.

Three cheers for Bob for keeping his famous car collection all together, and keeping it in Maine.
