One Man's INSANE Car Collection! Presidential Cars and Joseph Stalin's Armored Packard! (Full Tour)

[@Stapleton42]

We went to Historic Auto Attractions because Wayne has some race cars in there...we honestly had no idea that he had all of this other stuff and it blew us away. The racing side of his museum will be in its own video!

[@ValorMotorsports]

Great Job Mitchell and Logan 😊

Really need to make this museum visit into a series of unedited videos

[@ricks5468]

Helleva job. This is awesome. Completely different element

Hitler had a Auto Racing team called Auto Union. The rings design started with the silver cars, mid 1930's running rear engine , Supercharged V-16. Very impressive place and looking forward to Part 2 !

[@Stapleton42]

Mr Lensing is a great American. He has SO many cool artifacts at that place. The Kennedy collection could be a whole separate museum. Miss Belvedere is a great story and I'm so glad I have had the chance to see her. Wayne and his people did a great job creating the room for Ms Belvedere.

What a honest humble man Wayne is, and so knowledgeable and passionate about history and the preservation of it's relics. Thank you for this video, Awesome.

Growing up in Michigan I was fortunate enough to visit Henry Ford Museum and GreenField Village many times and I have seen the actual limousine President Kennedy was assassinated in as well as the chair President Lincoln was assassinated in along with many other incredible vehicles, machines, planes & firearms & so much more. Including Bill Elliott's speed record setting #9 Thunderbird. But the incredible amount of items you were able to share in this mans collection while just a fraction was completely amazing. Thank you for this off the beaten path offering and for taking the time to put this together. Incredible work Logan & Mitchell-Thank you!

Thank you so much for doing what you do! Many of us may never get a chance to travel in person to see this fabulous collection of history, but because of what you do, we all can experience a taste of it! As much as I love what you do with the NASCAR history, adding places like this to your channel brings a whole other level to what you do! Keep up the incredible work!

Thanks! We're glad you enjoy the variety! Personally I would love to do more of this type of thing. All history is interesting to me not just racing stuff!

Wish this was a 3 hour video , great job once again. Any history is great ,auto history is the best .

[@Crazyguy_123MC]

This place is incredible. And I’m glad he is sharing this stuff with the public. So many people who get this kind of stuff just keep it to themselves privately but this guy chooses to share it with everyone. Incredible collection I hope to visit one day. And you both are absolutely right. A lot of this historic stuff gets lost because people want quick cash and don’t care about the history or they just don’t know what they have. So much history is still hidden away in attics, sheds, basements, or hanging up on a wall because the owner doesn’t know the significance. Keeping the stuff together is how it continues to be remembered and acknowledged.

[@lhkraut]

Thank you so much for touring and recording this amazing collection! I worked for Lufthansa Cargo for about 23 years. We shipped several of the cars in this museum before he owned them. I don't know which of the Mercedes vehicles we shipped out of Atlanta, but I know we did ship one. The middle Batman car was shipped by us as well. Thanks again for sharing this with us here!

[@glennchristie2316]

My favorite vehicle you showed us was the Stage Coaches and secondly - the Elliot Ness Era cars. “Thank You” so much for bringing this video to us. It was so much more personal than other Car Collection Videos I’ve seen here on KZbin. You put much more value into the antiques than just monetary information. The questions you asked meant a lot more to me than $ value. I’d like to spend a couple days inside the museum to just browse. For everyone my age or older - go on Google - hit the microphone and ask for picture of the town you grew up in and give the year you were born. I’m 80 years old and the pictures I saw had 3 horse & buggies parked in front of the P.O. 1944…
