Check this out. Art or needless destruction...you decide.

Neither car is my cup of tea, but they are obviously both historically significant and it's a shame to see them rotting away. I have a neighbour that has a very rare bicycle that he raced on and won some big races back in the 1940's rotting in his yard. I offered to restore it for him and he told me his son wants to make a water feature of it in his garden!

I love the Good Year Tyres sign, that would look cool in my shed.

All I can say is to each his own.
Apart from that I'm speechless!

I'm amazed he has a big chunk of the Berlin wall in there too!!!

Needless destruction. I wonder if the owner wipes his butt with hundred dollar bills as well... That must have cost some serious coin to get those cars in the first place just to do that to them.

Sickening to see that, though on the upside there was a link to a story about Sophia Loren in the mid 60's (not her mid 60's) on that page. Oh la la!

What a waste

Awesome. His cars, he bought them for that specific reason, and he gets to enjoy them how he wants. If you have the money to do it with high end cars, then why not.

I do not see my self as an owner of a classic car(cars)It is part of history that I look after(and use) Until someone else takes over.
I see that as destruction of history,And once gone it is lost.And does money mean you have the right to destroy history??

If I had that much money I could think of better ways of using it than that. But nothing a cut and polish wouldn't fix and the Queen looks like she approves.
