Big questions about what will happen to this 800 car collection now that the owner, John O'Quinn, has died. This collection is supposed to have the largest number of $1 million plus cars in the world. It was said that he was planing to open a museum in Houston next year, but now everything is up in the air. Living about two miles from the museum district, I hope the executors follow through with his wishes.

On the surface it seems a museum might happen,
but with the foundation and corporation questions it could be rough.
You hope some cars are not sold before they settle.

I hope you get a museum close to you someday.
It would be a great excuse to travel to Houston.
 
Don't know if there are enough excuses in the world to prompt one to visit Houston. Strike that, the new granddaughter has worked on a few weak souls and our weather has been kicking butt lately, but that will pass soon enough.

Yeah I mean, heck, put it in Newark.

Eh, nevermind. Houston will do :smile:
 
It's like I always say... He who dies with the most toys....still dies.
