One man is ready to show off his private car and truck collection of over 220 vintage and antique vehicles after 30 years.
With tours open to the public every Friday and Saturday, you can see a collection of automobiles ranging from the early 1900s to a 1980s DeLorean.
“He had been giving one-off tours by appointment only until recently,” David Hastings, executive director of housing opportunities of Northern Kentucky told LINK nky. “He wanted to open the doors to the public to share what he’s been collecting, while supporting a good local cause.”
The cause is Housing Opportunities of Northern Kentucky, also known as HONK, a local nonprofit that creates affordable homeownership opportunities for people that would otherwise struggle to achieve it.
HONK will have volunteers greeting people at the car collection and making sure it runs smoothly.
“It is such a unique collection that is a draw for people outside our region,” Hastings said. “It is remarkable that it is here locally.”
Highlights of some of the featured cars are a 1903 Orient Buckboard, Ford Model Ts, a 1936 Cord 812 Phaeton, a 1956 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz, 1963 split-window Corvettes and a 1982 DeLorean among many others.
Doors open at 10 a.m. with the last entry for tours being at 2:30 p.m. at The Car Barn, 21 Kenton Lands Road in Erlanger.
A donation of $15 is asked upon entry. Registration is not required.
