The Lingenfelter Collection

The Lingenfelter Collection is Ken Lingenfelter's private car collection, kept in a warehouse on Lochlin Drive in Brighton, Michigan. It is not a museum with daily opening hours: the public gets in on open house days, which the collection announces on its website and social pages.

Ken Lingenfelter, the son of a General Motors executive, bought his first Corvette in 1977. The collection now runs to more than 150 Corvettes, muscle cars and exotic European cars. In 2008 he bought the assets of Lingenfelter Performance Engineering, the tuning company founded by his distant cousin John Lingenfelter.

The car the collection leads with is the 1954 Chevrolet Corvette EX-87 Duntov Mule, which the collection believes is the world's first V8 powered Corvette. Alongside the serious metal there are oddities such as an AMC Gremlin and a 1980 Chevrolet Chevette with only 9,800 miles on it.
