Chev/Corvette Conv Collection: 1912 to 1975
Comments are from a forwarded e-mail
"Wow ! 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 ! "
