About 30 of CLC’s
members & guests
toured the private
Lingenfelter Car
Collection which is
housed at
Metropolitan Motor
Sports in Brighton
Michigan. The
collection is owned
by Ken Lingenfelter
(cousin to the
renown NHRA Drag
racer John
Lingenfelter who
passed away a few
years back as a
result of injuries
suffered from a
accident while
racing). The
collection consists
of over 100 European
exotic’s, Corvettes
and American muscle
cars. Everyone had
a really great
time. The tour
lasted about 2.5
hours. During the
tour Doug Emch (the
collection’s
curator) started up
a 1969 Camaro with a
572 Big Block for us
and Ken Lingenfelter
started up the
Ferrari Enzo (one
of the two cars in
the collection worth
well over 1 million
dollars). Both
sounded
unbelievable.
Everyone should have
one in their garage.
After the tour all
drove over to the
South Lyon Inn for
“Fun & Food” where
everyone had a great
meal and had a great
time visiting and
talking “cars”……
Nothing like hearing
a 572 Big Block
being revved up to
get the “juices”
flowing……..looks
like it is time to
get the Corvettes
and muscle cars out
for this year’s
“cruising season”.
Hopefully we can do
it again in the next
year or two………..
