Family inherits world-record classic car collection

- A millionaire leaves his kids 3,000 classic cars. They must decide what to do with them - while honoring their dad’s legacy.
Watch Jamie Colby talk about Auto, Estate Planning, Lifestyle Budget, and Retirement on Strange Inheritance.
What many people of Tacoma knew was that Harold Lemay shared his passion yearly by inviting friends and friends of friends to drive his cars on special days of the year. How many museums would ever let the average car lover drive their cars. None that I know of. He was a very unique man with a passion for cars. I lived in Tacoma and often went to his small Spanaway shop and watched some of the restoration on a few cars. I would look at the cars stored in the yard and say, "If I had that one or that one" I would do this or that to it. I doubt that there will ever be such a generous or happy man that wants to share his passion of saving cars ever again. To Harold's family, "Thanks for trying to preserve the passion and the collection". :) :)
@Hello Bbrut how are you doing?
4:39 Difference between spouses today and 30 yrs back
Nice headlights on Jamie.
And hooters, , , , , , , , !
"Son, I can't afford to raise you; you're going to live with some strangers who can." How d'ya think that would fly, nowadays?
"runs out of room in his 300 car garage"
LOL
cyuiyu wyguiyui that man collected now vintage cars. Before collecting vintage cars was a thing.
Yep.... now there’s a burden I’m willing to carry!!!
i would settle for a couple of the junk cars they have out in the field.
Heck parts scattered in the scrap piles at a place like that
the business makes 100mil a year and Jamie asks if his widow ever said enough, we can use that money for a holiday?? errr I think he can just about afford both.
you here his kid talking about what they are going to to about this burden! fuck I'll take the cars if it's such a burden for you lol
+WiseGuy02 The business makes 100mil a year, doesn't mean they do. But I'm sure you're still right, they're doing good enough to afford both.
Reporters are dumb.
WiseGuy02 That man was more man then any man today.
I thought the same thing the moment she said that.... the rich are different from the rest
Is there more to this? I just finished this video, is there a part two?
01:50
That Packard matches your dress . . . SOLD!
should build a huge car museum, and put all his cars in it so everyone can enjoy them too
they do have a museum! it's called "the Lemay American car Musem" I've been there! located in Tacoma, Washington
+David Cruz
Need to find a real good job to find another bit of the history
+David Cruz Sell as many as you can,keep the one that had the greatest meaning to Harold. Enjoy some, share some with grandpa's kin if there are any ones deserving,-or not. Do some good by a pay it forward basis. God bless you.

B.S.! Museums are where cars go to DIE. A car that doesn't/can't/isn't driven...isn't really a car anymore, just like a plane that doesn't fly, or a boat that's not seaworthy. Keep 'em running!
Soooo....where's the rest of the story?
Rickyboy707 , That is what I thought???🤔😳👍
yeah that's what I wondered too
It pulled out before the climax.
I did a bit of digging and found the uncut version here
archive.org/details/FOXNEWSW_20150323_000000_FOX_News_Special/start/0/end/60
it's in segments which is a bit annoying but you can't win'em all I guess...
they took that one down too.
where can i watch the full length of the video?

I learned a long time ago when I owned 38 cars, you don't own them, they own you. I cannot fathom 3,000. I met some people from this group at Irwindale raceway quite a few years ago when they were showing the model of the museum and had a nice talk about some cars, but I had no idea they had that many cars.The logistics of that many cars is a massive undertaking.
300 cars not 3,000
@@davidjoles9737
Yeah... it WAS 3000 before they sold some off for the museum, and then split up more for one SHARED museum, and now this more manageable museum which is NOT shared.
I Wouldn't want to see a family so terribly burdened by this collection so if your nice I'll look after it for ya..
right--they could sell ONE car a year--and that's their living income for a year.
tough job, but somebody has got to do it.....
Oh yeah we can definitely look after this collection together as a team! They can just leave all the keys with us and we'll take care of them.
Shaun McInnis I wouldn’t mind either.
Shaun McInnis was
Am I allowed to touch? Jamie that is! She’s a hottie!
OMG---this guy has more cars than jay leno!
jay Leno doesn't have that many cars maybe around the 50 or 60 cars
+Go On ZuhJ more like 150+
Vlaid65 ok
+Vlaid65 most of the cars Jay showcases aren't his
+chillyfingers123 Jay has admit to that,in fact,I think he has 150,and people he knows park their collectible in the room contro;lled hangar,pardon me garage,,and he invites people with cars showcased on his show,Jay knows about cars and he likes them original
And now you Don't know, the rest of the story.
She's not wearing her seatbelt correctly/properly 😁😁😁 looks scrumptious🍽️🍢🍖🍗 😋
Wait so the collection is at the house? Or maybe it moved. I been to the musseum and later saw the collection place and I thought it was something like a warehouse type thing
If you're going to run a story, do the whole thing.
I don't have the patience (very few do) to page through hundreds (thousands?) of videos to find part two (March 15th 2015?) of this show.
u r right..
i could not find rest of the video...
My dream model a flathead 8, 59 Chevrolet el Camino bel air, not pickey 👍
so who got the fucking cars? i bet he made some bullshit move by donating it to a museum. better off. those kids are just gonna piece that shit out to highest bidder.
Let's see, they send a blond in a tight orange dress to interview a guy with a car collection.
Trying a bit too hard to get both the sex starved and car enthusiast audience.
EXACTLY..DISGUSTING.
“He went to a wrecking yard auction in Idaho, bought the whole wrecking yard.” That’s one way to get a hell of a lot of cars!
Or junk!
Mmmmmm Jamie and that orange skirt and pumps.....oh yea. Cars too
God Bless this Man❗
There's a dyed-in-the-wool , down to his soul , natural-born CAR GUY O:-)
Nice pair of sweater puppets
+Curtis Chaney First thing i saw
both of the ladies with orange on . I would toss the nuts to
Pretty descent exhaust system as well.
I love the headlights.
*puppies
Maybe Jay Leno can help him out you see today i am just interested in just one car and that is a Bugatti,Cheron and one Swiss girl
i wanna inherit jamie lol
I have 1st, 2nd, and 3rd dibs on Jamie. What a sweet lady she is.
Ummm wheres the rest of this video....if this was done right could have had 5 to 6 episodes of this ...shame what a waste.
Sorry guys, but i was fully occupied watching the most favorable orange / yellow dressed female model with the Brand of AMY...
@Hello Ronald how are you doing?
I like to see these cars on the road, maybe weekends on backroads. Those are nice driving cars unlike todays cars.
Wtf it just stops? I want to hear he rest of the story.
Great!! Save those Old Beauties!!
Oh WOW what an Amazing Collection
I just want to get a blue 1957 Bel-Air with a white Hardtop and whitewall tires. And also maybe a Blue Cadillac like Hank Williams had
Can you say motorboat? Nice water cannons lady in orange!
NEED A RETIRED LIVE ON PREMISES CAR GUY TO WORK FOR YOU!!!!
Been there.....awesome.
Mr. LeMay was a fine American.
Started with one garbage truck ended up with an empire.
I started with one pick up truck and now have nine whiny workers.
CASH FOR CLUNCKERS JUST KILL ME. i would find a car or bike fix it and sell it to someone that would enjoy the GREAT SAVE 72 todate .
THOSE TYPE OF PEOPLE JUST BUY subaru's and toyota's, the liberals favorites. Oh saab too when it was around.
Better than money in the bank! At least he enjoyed the cars he bought and he got a great deal of satisfaction in saving them and preserving them.
This ladie's face and body do not seem to belong to her husky voice.
@Hello how are you doing?
I clearly heard Jamie Colby and Doug Lemay say the collection has 300 cars, BUT the title says 3000, that's a huge discrepancy!!!
+jadesluv 300 cars in the garage by the house. That is why he brought 50 more properties and the school!
Where is the rest of the story?
I remember what God said in His word. What will it profit a man to gain the whole world and loose his who soul ! Think about that, I do pray this man was born again, otherwise he may never inter heaven. It is great to have this collection but they aren't being driven, so what is the point??
She is a lovely woman, amazing car collection. I would enjoy seeing more of both.
anyone know where I can watch the rest of the video?
Gosh I would truly enjoy a chance to purchase the White 1967 Shelby Mustang! At 58 it's still my life long dream!
I wonder how he felt about people who go out clubbing all night, do they hair and nails twice a week, get up when the sun is high, wear hoodies and saggy pants, live off the govt, have gansta names, kneel and protest about that oppression.
shit happens ?
@Hello, how are you doing?
I'm 55 and have owned 30 cars and a truck . After seeing this , I wish I could've kept each one . But in reality I was trying to enjoy and drive another , with vision's of unrealistic goals . My , Brother a mechanic told me , that my eyes were bigger than my wallet . I knew he was right . Today I wish , that I had n't made so many poor choices . But after all Isn't that there all about ?
The way humanity is going now I doubt too many would even be interested, without out sat -nav, blue tooth, 16 airbags, in seat rear DVD players for their little Johnnys! & all the wank in "disposable" cars today. For me, God bless Harold & all the enthusiasts Lol "hoarders". These thoughtfully cared for & kept vehicles I hope will remain until the end of our civilization, so that those totally enslaved & following their doctrine can eventually realize, that these beautifully crafted pieces of functional art & history can still do the very job they were designed to AND do it with style!! The "sheeple" today have everything that society dictates they must but have no Love of anything. They spend their life working to pay for stuff they replaced which they didn't need to, all to keep up or ahead of peers & family. These old cars are above the value of money. What will their crap heap black on black SUV's be worth in time? Nothing, scrap metal value only! We are being pushed so hard into the next new thing, we haven't even had time to enjoy what we got first! I LOVE my 60's cars, will drive'm till I drop!
in other words "Screw safety and technology, I'm a hipster!"
+Jake O'Toole safety? Come on. Since when is anyone safer in a car with plastic bumpers and steering/brakes connected by wires and depending on a failure-guaranteed battery?
+OlBlueshound I completely agree with you! Don't forget the ugly gray cars out there too! They think they are so cool driving a vomit gray bubble-car with ugly black wheels and black interior. Are they all going to a funeral?
+OlBlueshound
Couldn't have said it better myself.
+Jake O'Toole
Congratulations for exposing yourself as one of the clown he was referring to.
In my neck of the woods. I should go there some day. Badd Azz Portland Carz: gearheadsworld.blogspot.com/2015/07/badd-azz-hot-rods-in-portland-oregon.html
My dad had every Cadillac from 1950-1966
👏👏 good for him👍
i would love to metal detected that property
The last sentence "you've got a plan" if that plan includes Jesus Christ then Good, if not.... then the plan or the lack there of ...will go poorly for you.
"Honey, enough already, we can use that money for a vacation." You mean he should stop spending the fortune he created for himself and start spending it on you.
Why not she's the wife? And anything he owns she owns too. It's called Marriage.
Puff Of Smoke Until divorce comes along and she gets most of it after that. Marriage don't sound appealing at all now.
gutz1981 Well, he should've done a pre-nup to protect whatever he owns to himself and not to be shared to his wife. But money made within the marriage she gets half of it. That's how it works. So, essentially it's her money too.
Puff Of Smoke If it weren't for kids. I kind of don't see the point of marriage in this day and age. I'd be more content with a long relationship anyway.
That depends on what state you reside and the state of the deceased.
Ok. Well I would not mind a car to drive miss daisy around. I love the story. His widow is a beautiful woman.
what happend to end
i feel let down. it just ended. what happened?
Harold did exactly what i would do if i had money, save as many as i could and try to find them a good home. Shit makes me sad to see them going to waste...
R.I.P pops 🌹
I bet Jay Leno and others would be happy to put them in their collections.
If this collection is open to the publics view, great, that's wonderful. If not what's the point. Maybe selfish indulgence. Do the Jay Leno thing, let the world in to this wonderful collection. Maybe that's the case now, good work. All the best.
Why send a reporter who knows nothing about cars nor cares about them? And about the collector: That he made no provision for his cars after his death indicates to me he was more a compulsive buyer than a collector who was building a legacy. (Example: Jay Leno)
that dress looks so fucking good yummy
ecdctechmma of a young lady who has a great heart and she is the most beautiful thing I've
Hey buddy, can you spare a Packard??
Boat Axe I'm looking for something in a size 65 to 68 fastback Mustang. Don't need anything too goach, a 289 will do just fine. If he has something in the 420 range, fine.
Call Sotheby’s and auction them off (after picking out a few personal keepers, of course!)
That Ford is a Beauty!😎👍🖤⭐️🕊🦋🕊🙏✌️🎉🇺🇸 Thanks for sharing!🙏✌️🎉🇺🇸🌅
I'am wondering,if Christine '59 Plymouth was in the collection having that many most definately the carbon monoxide killed the collector
1963 Plymouth fury wagon ...any in the collection?
what a dumb thing to say, maybe we can afford a vacation. This guy made more money than most folks will have in a 100 million lifetimes. And boo hoo, he left a big bill or tab? Ya right, how can we pay the bill with only 75 million in the bank left to us. Plus what are the cars worth??
Millionaires don't have to worry about money for vacation!!! Pfft reporter..
Keep them
@Hello Paul how are you doing?
I can fit 6 of those cars over here
@Hello how are you doing?
you're not wearing your seat belt correctly Jamie - you could get seriously hurt in a crash.
WOw an american with mostly euopean cars and sport cars as well ?LMFAO really and kids did what for a living nothing for the rest of their lives but fight over who gets what as far as the inheritance goes, like every family does when someone in the family who is rich and dies and leaves the family with millions of dollars to fight over ?
In 2015 you recorded this video in 360.....Really !
that nice but also stupid you work hard collecting cars/saving them but you never have real fun it is just materialistic world
Wha Wha Wha Kids crying over what to do. Your dad has left you a fortune here. Be glad he wasn't collecting state thimbles
Amazing, so amazing.
It’s so comforting to me to see you staring at the camera more than the road while you’re driving.
A boy came from nothing but only with his passion to be the best one & left an huge empire as his legacy. Video output is only 360p but the quality of the content is so amazing. I would love to see the second part of the story.
Thank you so much for sharing & documenting his legacy!!
Where's the supercars in the collection?
Goddamn guy must be a billionaire. I know he made 100 million a year but damn. He should have made a musiam.
I want to see the whole thing.
How is this a burden? lol if this is somehow a problem to (anyone) I will be more then happy to take your millions upon millions of dollars in cars and property's?
Harold's last name is Lemay which is French. I assume his mom was French Canadian. BTW great story, Cheers!
In my knowledge, the french Canadians took their father's name, not their mother's one.
Yes your right. There is some French heritage in the name.
Either set up a museum so everyone can enjoy them or sell them off so other people can adore them the same way his father did.
this is kind of sickness, I was like this before but not this level but God saved me
Matthew 6:19 -20
19. Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
20.But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
I cant take my big turbo 1jz 86 Ford to fucking heaven. Or the 68 torino. Dumbest shit I've ever read!
Wow what a beautiful and amazing view!……(what was the video about?….)
Nice collection, 1:44, you see him checking out her. !!!!
Heath Cox Lol!!!! Yeah, he's definitely looking at something besides the cars!!!!
The background music junked another video 👎🏻💩
Don't you just love the way rich people gloss over a woman dumping her child
Not driving cars isn't good for them. 300 classic cars sitting in a building dying.
Cars? What cars? My eyes can't get past that bombshell!! Damn she's hot. That's a woman boys!
Left something for the childen, awesome.
They were easier to find in the 70s and 80s. Not a big deal. But these days next to impossible
Do not watch this. Once you get interested in the story the story ends. Only half of the program is here. Don’t waste your time.
unfuckin believeable,wow the first thing that comes to mind is what did he do for a living,how do you get the money to do this
What an amazing legacy he left! They should create a museum in his honor or even contact the Smithsonian or the Henry Ford.
