Car Crazy Father & Son are having the Garage Sale of the Century

andrews1

Somewhere along the line, car-mad father & son duo, Paul and Chris Andrews, might have gotten a little bit carried away with their hobby. Next month, they’re selling off nearly their entire collection of cars to get down to something “more manageable”. They plan to settle for around 20 cars rather than their inventory of nearly 100 rare and vintage automobiles accumulated over the years, and will be selling them along with a wide assortment of automobile memorabilia that decorated their undoubtedly jaw-dropping garage. Like I said, the garage sale of the century.

But Mr. Andrews Sr. didn’t always have cars coming out of his ears…

In the early 70s Paul worked as a bible salesman after being laid off as a military components buyer for General Dynamics. With just a desk and a red telephone in his wife’s tiny apartment living room, he launched a company brokering electronic parts and some forty + years later, he is CEO of the world’s largest distributor for industrial, military, aerospace and consumer electronics manufacturers.andrews28

Other items being cleaned out of the Andrews garage include anything from a 1945 gas-powered child’s car and an original coca cola vending machines to vintage garage tune-up testers and fully-equipped gas pump stations.

There’s also enough neon signs to fill an art gallery up for sale too.

And then rather inexplicably, I noticed these antique organs thrown into the mix…

Several mammoth-sized instruments from early 20th century Europe used in carousels, amusement parks, and pavilions in perfect condition.

Perhaps the hobby of Mrs. Andrews?
