    Default Jay Leno's car collection = Weaksos

    Not saying I agree with the title but this is pretty neat. At the end of my post there is a video of some of the collection.

    We've been through a lot of great car collections and museums over the years, but even we have to admit that we've never seen a private collection like this. Assembled by a shadowy figure known only as "The Sultan of Michigan," this cache has something for car enthusiasts of most every stripe, although the focus is clearly on vintage and present-day muscle and Eighties-and-up supercars. Truck enthusiasts, vintage foreign guys and brass car enthusiasts will largely have to look elsewhere, but it's a magnificent collection, with the most flabbergasting thing being that it appears to be up-to-the-minute current.

    The whereabouts and ownership of the collection are two things that the owner prefers to keep private – we actually have confirmation on both, but prefer to respect privacies. What we can confirm is that this treasure trove is, in fact, located in Michigan, which is both heartening (to know that such wealth and mechanical beauty still exists in the state) and somewhat confounding (as the area lacks truly great winding roads on which to exploit much of the machinery). In either case, the collection is generally kept under wraps, although periodically we understand that the owner invites in selected parties to share in the gorgeousness. Some of the folks at MidwestSSC.com are obviously part of the 'inner circle' judging by the video and this photo gallery. Follow the jump to take the tour for yourself. Thanks to Andrew Weber for use of his video, and we appreciate the tips, Justin and Evan!

    Edit: This "mystery" car collecter does have a very nice and expensive collection, however I think that Jay Leno's is better. This is due to the fact of him having a car collection that shows the history of the motor vehicle. In the video I did not see anything older than the 1950s.

    The worlds most prestine collections are private and usually locked away.

    Jay Leno is rare in that not only does he display openly but also drives them frequently.

    I was talking about how in the article they claimed that this may be better than Jay Leno's car collection.

    Too many American cars for over half of the video, I'm kind of sick of seeing all of these muscle cars all of the time, no offense LS3. I just don't get excited about seeing them anymore, it wasn't until about five minutes in when they panned over to the Ferraris that I perked up. Nice collection though, ton of money in that collection. I think Leno's is a little more involved though, he does have more very rare antiques, Stanley Steamer anyone.
    Some say that his politics are terrifying, and that he once punched a horse to the ground...

    Ive been to MANY classic car shows ans what not and Im 100% jaded now. Even the exotics are boring to me. The ONLY thing that caught my eye was the supercharged 53 Vette. Ive seen and driven soo many cars that only the weird cars catch my eye now.
