RICK RAWLINS EPIC CAR BARN | FULL CAR COLLECTION TOUR

[@alexkalish8288]

My dad built sets and acted for John Ford during the 50's and 60's. That Rolls was on the set of the Searchers which was the last time I saw it, I marveled at it as a kid because it looked so out of place in monument valley. What a nice surprise to meet it again and it looks younger, unlike myself. Rick has a wonderful collection and better still a wonderful passion for the art/engineering of these masterpieces.

[@ryankittinger1398]

I'm glad Rick is getting the recognition he deserves. Not only does he preserve history but he also keeps it alive by driving these cars and showing them to people who are genuinely interested. He has a great mindset, aptitude and loves to share his knowledge with anyone who shows interest. Keep the great work up Rick!

Amazing collection, very eclectic and important, love Surfite, and the shack ! So cool.

Humbled that along with with your historic autos you have a 1939 Ford 1/2 ton pickup that is a truck dear to my heart as I own one that my Grandpa traded for way back in 1947 for his farm here in Wisconsin. After years of abuse on the farm and eventually being parked under an apple tree my dad towed it home in the late 1970's and it sat for years in a pole barn. Now after years of work it's back on the road and has 1939 Wisconsin Farmtruck plates on her. My only photo from the farm has the barn and silos as well as tons of snow in the background as it was a December day in 1951. Our pickup is nicknamed "Ol Bessie", thanks for sharing your collection. know you have a million more stories to share. GaryU.

[@kjmaurice8750]

Oh man that woody wagon and the pickup!

[@michaeldyer6304]

Thanks for sharing these cool cars and their cherished stories.👍

[@belgreenhills]

Wow!… your wife is a real sport. We take a modern day luxury Mercedes SUV and it’s all we can do to go 650 miles from Russellville, AL to LaGrange, Ohio. You guys went 1000 miles in a 1926 Bugatti. My hats off to you both.

[@MikeBMW]

That was awesome! Thanks, Rick, for the great recollections on these cars and, thanks, Petersen Automotive for bringing this to us!

Thank you so much for allowing me to enjoy the great collection this evening.

[@HarryMollyNut]

Yes yes thanks for hoarding disgusting amounts of wealth so that the families in Honduras cant afford to feed their kids. Sell one car & u can feed a village for life, but i guess thats no fun hey.

[@ryanperry9472]

AMAZING collection! What really got me was the slot car track! Love me some slot cars! Thank you for sharing!

[@GeorgesMiniatureCars]

[@ronlynch7744]

Fantastic stories & collection of every car guys dreams. 😎👍🇨🇦

[@radiodave1]

Wow! What a collection! Having that Model T that you built with your dad must be one of the more special cars in the collection. The originality of some of those cars are mind blowing! Hey just one thing, you hung the American flag backwards. Stars are always in the upper left.

[@sporty196071]

Now I'm older I've been thinking alot about the changes in the automotive sports and about what is going to happen with all great cars we have had in our lives. U Tube has made see the 1000's of large and small collections there and see there is still lots of interest in the automotive sports thank you for saving the the history of cars trucks & bikes the last 90 years were the best.

[@TheSinkingGarage]

Fantastic collection, knowledge and video. Thanks!

[@sxleatherco8887]

Hell yeah thanks for the tour Rick! Love the stories🍻

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Very cool, really enjoyed!

[@gsmith207]

wicked knowledge in this man. So funny how he goes from all those relics to that C8 spaceship! Thanks for sharing these we know it’s a lot of work to do these and we appreciate it

[@anonymousgeorge4321]

Great video. Really takes me back. Thanks.

[@johna1160]

Rick, great job presenting your eclectic collection. Agree, it's the people intertwined in the car's history that bring it to life and make it far more interesting. If I may, I suggest losing those garish wheels on the '67 VW bus. Nothing beats the original steelies (IMO).

[@plumbandsquare1]

I agree, a woody is a fun fun thing to have.

[@dracula-dead]

Your comment on the color of cars these days really rings true. Not a lot of imagination out there. Thanks for sharing your cars!

[@artdecotimes2942]

It's a shame I have to have add to like more than a 1955 Chevrolet and their 1934 Ford hot rod. The public personalize everything, can't even like every automobile in all their beauty from a Tonneau and Pope tribune in 1902, to a 1996 Mercury which I love the look of unlike the cliche terms of "ugly" 1990's automobiles. The excites that are made through our history, have been unbelievably gorgeous and incredible. There was this one automobile, much larger than that lovely 1928 Speedster made out of a model T, it was a 1904 roadster of some sort I'll have to remember, and it hit a total of 112 miles per hour. in 1904! True proof that history likes to hide things away.

[@donalmurphy6248]

Great to see the jewellery under the bonnet. Thanks another brilliant tour.

[@markusdascher4181]

Very nice collection. Thank you for sharing.

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

What an incredible collection.

[@Troy_nov1965]

Loved all those cars ! I really enjoyed the story of the John Ford Rolls . Been a John Ford , John Wayne fan my whole life. Im gonna go through my DVD collection and find the scene with that car.

[@01FozzyS]

Such a cool collection,Rick!

[@MLFranklin]

Fun collection. I like original paint cars, too.

[@49walker44]

You certainly have my dream garage with enough different cars to blow my skirt up especially the Porsches.

[@neilperry2224]

He calls history junk but I'd kill for his large GEEBEE aircraft.

[@jluther1755]

Nice guy great cars

[@justmike2944]

You don't own any of those cars . Your just the caretaker and your doing a very good job of it . God bless you ..

[@szabolcskomaromi]

Respect, Sir!

[@markcumpson4682]

Cowabunga!

[@chassisresearchkid]

Got to sit in Surfite when Tom Monahan owned it, right at the beginning of him starting his collection.

[@arielachong7577]

[@ethelbarton6668]

so, what was the lowest horsepower engine on a 64 vette ? you never told us.

[@MisterMonsieur]

*Sorry, who is this guy?*

[@jasonaustin3270]

Tell me your a multi millionaire without telling me that your a multi millionaire.

[@clange03]

Aaand none of them ever see the road.

[@artdecotimes2942]

an automobile older than 50 years starts to become a little worrying. back then; fine, better than fine; but now, it's 50 years or more since it's factory completion.
