Hi All,

they have a couple of places called "Meilenwerk" in Germany. It is a place where we as owners pay to store our collectible cars, either in open spaces or in special glass garages. Others pay to get in (like in a museum). You can take your car in and out any time. They have restaurants on those sites, vintage car dealerships, garages, retail stores and host car shows, swap meets and provide free meeting space for car clubs. Here is a link:

Do you think that would work here in the US?

What would you pay to store your car in such a place with security, AC, maintenance service etc. in open space / behind glass?

Do you know of any places in the US that offer something like that (haven't found any yet)?

What would be a good location for that?

Please give me your opinion. Who knows, maybe we can establish something like that here as well.

Keep cruisin'!

It's no a bad idea but....................

Most old car guys would worry about people getting to close to their car and scratching it so it would have to be off limits.

The price would have to right

In the north it's not a bad idea when the winter time sets in but in the south like here in Florida, it would be a pain to get your car out as often as they are used here.

The owner would have to have a set amount of people willing to store their car to cover their overhead. And overhead is a bit right now.

Which brings me to another point. In these tough times it may be an expense that most would do without.

Just my nickles worth
