The owner of the Polaris 1972 3.0 CSA that I met last month at the Palm Beach Concours invited Dirk and me to a Hangar Crawl in Palm Beach County. He told me he had his collection in a hangar near others with car collections. They are called Hangars because the word garage would be an insult to what we saw Saturday night.
Rasmi Akel has quite the 9 car collection-Coupes, convertibles,and a track car he runs at Sebring and Homestead. I need to get him to join the forum!
There were 3 rows of Hangars with collections on both sides. We saw full custom 1st gen. Bronco to Lincoln convertible to Ferrari to Porsche to Cobra Mustangs to custom motorcycles.
And a 1974 3.0CSi in Fjord over saddle tan. I asked the owner about the car. He bought it in southern Cal. from a shop owned by a guy who used to work with Carl Nelson. The car is very nice with the Italian front corner lights. I asked him if he drove it and he said when he can with 37 other cars including 9 Porsches. His Hangar was 3 units. Like Mel Brooks said, "It's good to be the King!"
Here are pics of the night.
