Family inherits world-record classic car collection

- A millionaire leaves his kids 3,000 classic cars. They must decide what to do with them - while honoring their dad’s legacy.
Watch Jamie Colby talk about Auto, Estate Planning, Lifestyle Budget, and Retirement on Strange Inheritance.
What many people of Tacoma knew was that Harold Lemay shared his passion yearly by inviting friends and friends of friends to drive his cars on special days of the year. How many museums would ever let the average car lover drive their cars. None that I know of. He was a very unique man with a passion for cars. I lived in Tacoma and often went to his small Spanaway shop and watched some of the restoration on a few cars. I would look at the cars stored in the yard and say, "If I had that one or that one" I would do this or that to it. I doubt that there will ever be such a generous or happy man that wants to share his passion of saving cars ever again. To Harold's family, "Thanks for trying to preserve the passion and the collection". :) :)
I learned a long time ago when I owned 38 cars, you don't own them, they own you. I cannot fathom 3,000. I met some people from this group at Irwindale raceway quite a few years ago when they were showing the model of the museum and had a nice talk about some cars, but I had no idea they had that many cars.The logistics of that many cars is a massive undertaking.
300 cars not 3,000

Yeah... it WAS 3000 before they sold some off for the museum, and then split up more for one SHARED museum, and now this more manageable museum which is NOT shared.
"Son, I can't afford to raise you; you're going to live with some strangers who can." How d'ya think that would fly, nowadays?
4:39 Difference between spouses today and 30 yrs back
"runs out of room in his 300 car garage"
LOL
cyuiyu wyguiyui that man collected now vintage cars. Before collecting vintage cars was a thing.
Yep.... now there’s a burden I’m willing to carry!!!
should build a huge car museum, and put all his cars in it so everyone can enjoy them too
they do have a museum! it's called "the Lemay American car Musem" I've been there! located in Tacoma, Washington

Need to find a real good job to find another bit of the history
+David Cruz Sell as many as you can,keep the one that had the greatest meaning to Harold. Enjoy some, share some with grandpa's kin if there are any ones deserving,-or not. Do some good by a pay it forward basis. God bless you.

B.S.! Museums are where cars go to DIE. A car that doesn't/can't/isn't driven...isn't really a car anymore, just like a plane that doesn't fly, or a boat that's not seaworthy. Keep 'em running!
the business makes 100mil a year and Jamie asks if his widow ever said enough, we can use that money for a holiday?? errr I think he can just about afford both.
you here his kid talking about what they are going to to about this burden! fuck I'll take the cars if it's such a burden for you lol
+WiseGuy02 The business makes 100mil a year, doesn't mean they do. But I'm sure you're still right, they're doing good enough to afford both.
Reporters are dumb.
WiseGuy02 That man was more man then any man today.
I thought the same thing the moment she said that.... the rich are different from the rest
Is there more to this? I just finished this video, is there a part two?

That Packard matches your dress . . . SOLD!
It’s so comforting to me to see you staring at the camera more than the road while you’re driving.
Nice headlights on Jamie.
And hooters, , , , , , , , !
Been there.....awesome.
Mr. LeMay was a fine American.
Started with one garbage truck ended up with an empire.
I started with one pick up truck and now have nine whiny workers.
“He went to a wrecking yard auction in Idaho, bought the whole wrecking yard.” That’s one way to get a hell of a lot of cars!
Or junk!
Soooo....where's the rest of the story?
Rickyboy707 , That is what I thought???🤔😳👍
yeah that's what I wondered too
It pulled out before the climax.
I did a bit of digging and found the uncut version here

it's in segments which is a bit annoying but you can't win'em all I guess...
they took that one down too.
Incredible! What a neat story and a great collection. Thanks for sharing.
I Wouldn't want to see a family so terribly burdened by this collection so if your nice I'll look after it for ya..
right--they could sell ONE car a year--and that's their living income for a year.
tough job, but somebody has got to do it.....
Oh yeah we can definitely look after this collection together as a team! They can just leave all the keys with us and we'll take care of them.
Shaun McInnis I wouldn’t mind either.

Am I allowed to touch? Jamie that is! She’s a hottie!
Gosh I would truly enjoy a chance to purchase the White 1967 Shelby Mustang! At 58 it's still my life long dream!

Oh WOW what an Amazing Collection
I am blessed by this video! Thank you.
Wait so the collection is at the house? Or maybe it moved. I been to the musseum and later saw the collection place and I thought it was something like a warehouse type thing
I saw that collection about 7 years ago it was awesome.
I like to see these cars on the road, maybe weekends on backroads. Those are nice driving cars unlike todays cars.
The collection at Marymount is probably my favorite car museum. I'm not sure I would even call it a museum since these cars are mostly in a non restored, daily driver condition. To me it gives them more character. The tour guides have a story about every car in there. Just amazing.
And now you Don't know, the rest of the story.
Nice collection hope they are restored exactly the same as once they were.
i would settle for a couple of the junk cars they have out in the field.
Heck parts scattered in the scrap piles at a place like that
I was getting so intrigued.. Then it cuts off darn. What cars I did get to see I loved THEM...❤❤
I live near Tacoma so I've been to that museum a couple of time. If you are in the area it's well worth the visit. You won't be disappointed.
God Bless this Man❗
There's a dyed-in-the-wool , down to his soul , natural-born CAR GUY O:-)
I want to see the whole thing.
wonderful collection
OMG---this guy has more cars than jay leno!
jay Leno doesn't have that many cars maybe around the 50 or 60 cars
+Go On ZuhJ more like 150+
Vlaid65 ok
+Vlaid65 most of the cars Jay showcases aren't his
+chillyfingers123 Jay has admit to that,in fact,I think he has 150,and people he knows park their collectible in the room contro;lled hangar,pardon me garage,,and he invites people with cars showcased on his show,Jay knows about cars and he likes them original
If it wasn't for this man and his wonderful method of madness there would never be this amount of old cars out there that would of survived it's fantastic to see such a collection
The yearly show they use to do every August at Marymount was pretty awesome
R.I.P pops 🌹
thanks for sharing
This is almost as nice as a car museum. Wow this is so awesome. Hard to choose which car is nice, they all are sweet looking cars. I like to see the collection of these cars do a little tour seeing them
I would be so proud to show it off and say it was my dads work... I love my father .
"Car Saver," love it!
Nice collection, 1:44, you see him checking out her. !!!!
Heath Cox Lol!!!! Yeah, he's definitely looking at something besides the cars!!!!
My dad had every Cadillac from 1950-1966
👏👏 good for him👍
What an amazing legacy he left! They should create a museum in his honor or even contact the Smithsonian or the Henry Ford.
She is a lovely woman, amazing car collection. I would enjoy seeing more of both.
I met Mr Lemay at Turlock and Pleasanton Cal auto shows. He bought a few cars and lots of parts from me RIP !!!
There r no words to describe how i feel looking at this collection
Great!! Save those Old Beauties!!
awesome classics !
This is amazing!
Wtf it just stops? I want to hear he rest of the story.
Where is the rest of the story?
Mr. Lemay had some beautiful cars there I’ve been there a bunch of times it’s a heck of a museum
What an amazing collection.
Well, I'm sure others have said a museum which I totally agree. Also, you could pick one car every day and charge people to drive them around in it. Each day, different car and make a schedule ahead of time. Also, you could drive people in a wedding, the married couple. Plenty of ways to make money, but I'm sure it's easier said than done. I'm sure some people in the family are tired of it though. I just hope that if they sell it or already have sold it that they picked someone who would buy the whole lot and keep it going. That's a lot of amazing work that man put in and what a cool thing to inherit!
Really game changer man...lots of respect..his mother couldn't afford to take care of him due to financial c implications..when he grew up..he bought a whole school and 19 properties...
Better than money in the bank! At least he enjoyed the cars he bought and he got a great deal of satisfaction in saving them and preserving them.
Long live the classics!!!
anyone know where I can watch the rest of the video?
Amazing, so amazing.
Uhhum.. Now that I have composed myself, I have to say WOW ! and well done to that gentleman. I am in complete awe of his wonderful wisdom and vision to conserve those beautiful cars for the future generations. Hope he left enough cash to keep maintaining them otherwise this whole deal would be compromised.
Good luck to the beneficiaries.
great video
Been to the main Museum and is a must for car People!
family spoke of him in a very nice way..Good video..thanks
Either set up a museum so everyone can enjoy them or sell them off so other people can adore them the same way his father did.
Nice pair of sweater puppets
+Curtis Chaney First thing i saw

Harold Lemay was amazing! Awesome story. Car Savers Unite!
God Bless You Harold The Car Saver.
I clearly heard Jamie Colby and Doug Lemay say the collection has 300 cars, BUT the title says 3000, that's a huge discrepancy!!!
+jadesluv 300 cars in the garage by the house. That is why he brought 50 more properties and the school!
I don't know whys this in my Recommended. But i admire the man who owns that alot of Cars!! ♥️♥️👌🏼👌🏼

Harold did exactly what i would do if i had money, save as many as i could and try to find them a good home. Shit makes me sad to see them going to waste...

I don't have the patience (very few do) to page through hundreds (thousands?) of videos to find part two (March 15th 2015?) of this show.

I like that attitude of being a "car-saver"!!!
3,000 classic cars most of which are in mint condition, how fun. I would Love the keys to the garage with the keys to the cars. Holy fun day.
