Located about two hours south of Minneapolis/St. Paul is along the river just over the Wisconsin boarder reisides a very large private collection of cars and car toys. This guy was so car obsessed he even had a Model A as the center piece in his living room! I learned of them around 2020, but never made the time to get down there. Sadly the family has decided it is time to downsize. Basically everything pedal car and up is to be sold at Mecum Auto Auctions in late September 2022.
IMHO it was well worth the drive and the $15 admission to see grounds. It was especially interesting to talk to some of the volunteers who knew Elmer. Apparently the apx. 60 acres of junkyard well be kept as it is active business being run by Elmer's children.
