Corvette Set - Peter Max's Dream Collection Relocates
AS I carried the recyclables from my Brooklyn apartment to the building’s basement garage one recent Sunday morning, I noticed that my Corvettes were gone. All 36 of them.

Quote from the article:
The cars, I should make clear, were not actually mine, in that they did not belong to me in the legal sense. But they had been stored in my apartment building’s garage for years, and over time I’d become a bit possessive. When friends came to visit, I’d show off the collection, pointing out the early models as my personal favorites. Although the cars were a spectacular thing to find in such an unlikely location, they looked dingy. The tires were flat. The convertible tops sagged. They were layered in dust so thick that cat prints were clearly visible from 20 feet. In the grime obscuring the rear windows, someone had written the year of each car — ’53, ’54, ’55 — a complete set of Chevrolet Corvettes all the way up to 1989. What a shame, my friends usually said; someone ought to be taking care of those cars. Maybe, my father told me, you could talk to the owner — see if he’d let you care for them. |
