Believe It or Not: True Stories of Forgotten Classic Cars

Peter Max Corvette Collection

In an article you can read here , I discussed how a collection of 36 classic corvettes have been sitting in various storage garages in New York City for the past 25 years. The story was one that had people questioning the logic of Peter Max, the eccentric artist who owned the once beautiful collection. In recent months it turns out that Peter Max is a bit of a scammer and is getting sued by people who claim some of his art is fake and he employs people to do the work for him and then only signs the forgeries. Just another chapter in the book of these amazing cars that time forgot.Most of these cars are now getting ready for auction after a buyer purchased the lot. Check out the video below to have a look at 34 years of neglected Corvettes getting ready to finally be driven.
