The World's Best Automobile Collection?

- Is the auto collection of Peter Mullin the world's best car collection? Take a look and comment. Mullin collects multi million dollar french Art Deco automobiles and other deco Objets d'art.
While many collections may vie for the title "Worlds Best Private Car Collection" the Mullin may well be that collection. However, the Nethercutt collection just a few miles from there, the Miller collection in Colorado and other collections vie for that honor as well. It sort of depends on what cars you like. But in terms of "value", the Mullin may well the most expensive with many multi million dollar cars including the world's most expensive car that sold for 44 million.
See the Delahayne Type 165
From Car Revs Daily:
This car was built to represent France at the 1939 New York World’s Fair, an exposition promoted with the slogan “Dawn of a New Day”. While the engine was not completed in time for its display, the modernity and sublime beauty of this car’s styling drew throngs of admirers from the public and the press.
Europe was engulfed by war by the fair’s close in 1940 and U.S. Custom’s impounded this car in New York for the duration of the war. In 1946 Roger Barlow purchased it at public auction and took it to his Beverly Hills dealership. Later that year, installed with a special high-powered Cadillac motor, the car was purchased for $12,000 by businessman Vivan Corradini, who drove the car home to New York.
In 1951 a Naval Luitenant Nevels purchased the car from a used car lot in Honolulu. In 1953 Nevels sold it to an enlisted man. A Fresno garage, assumed ownership of the car after it was abandoned by the enlisted man’s widow.
Al Brewer, a tow truck driver purchased it from the garage for $1,200 in the 1970s. After four years of negotiation, Jim Hull and Peter Mullin purchased the car in 1985 and began its restoration, purchasing its original engine from Count Hubertus von Doenhoff.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The Mullin Automotive Museum is a privately owned automobile museum in Oxnard, California, US. Established in 2010, it displays the personal car collection of businessman and philanthropist Peter W. Mullin. The museum has a large collection of vintage Bugattis, and many of the cars are fully restored and able to be driven.
The museum is housed in the building formerly occupied by the Chandler Vintage Museum of Transportation and Wildlife. The 50,000 sq ft (4,600 m2) building was remodeled to be more energy efficient by American architect David Randall Hertz, making use of solar panels and reflective roofing to reduce heat, yet incorporating elements that retain the Art Deco style and motifs in order to match the era of the cars, many of which were made by French manufacturers in the 1920s and 1930s

Thanks for “screwing around” in this fabulous museum! And as always, Thanks for taking all of us along with you!
An amazing collection of eloquent automobiles.
Mullen is still collecting too. Now building a new "garage" in London. #5. If you had everything, where would you keep it?
Couldn't help but notice that you had several favorite cars! Good deal!
My favorite car is always the one I driving or looking at. Or talking about. The only time I don't love a car is when I'm haggling price for one. "For this junk? I'm going to need to refill the gas tank and several other things. I can;t pay more than ##,###.** "
Just like kids in a candy store!! :D
This is a great collection but please go to the Nethercutt Collection and then decide. Regular winners of the Pebble Beach Concourse. Also a huge hood ornament collection and a beautiful collection of Orchestrions. The pipe organ that you stand inside of while they play it is incredible.
Nethercutt Collection is next weeks show!! really hard to pick one. and the Mulhouse collection in France. And what's left of the Harrah in Reno. OH and theres a collection in central Cal that's several peoples including the old Royal Palace collection. And the Miller Collection now in Bolder Colorado. Really depends on what cars you like. All 100 million plus in cost.
Wow those are some gourgous automobiles.
Right? Hard to pick one, but the red one at the end..... or not.My fave is ALWAYS the one in front of me.
Thank you so much for letting us see that amazing museum!!!! Love your videos keep em coming!!!!
Thanks for watching!! Share it with friends! And look at their web site. Mullin museum. WOW!!!!!
I am about half way through this and what I have seen, so far, is just stunning. The Bride and I need to do an errand and I am getting back to this when we get back. It's so good I won't be surprise if I watch it more than once or twice. It's that good. Great work. Greg and Jeanne.
Hi!!! And next week a collection just down the road that’s just as amazing and has a Hudson locomotive!!! Back here in a few weeks to see the Bugatti’s. The under water one has A great story. What Guy want it in a poker game in Geneva Switzerland. Couldn’t afford to pay the taxes on it, so customs through it in Lake Geneva. After 70 years on the lake bottom Mullin bought it and brought it here.
Everyone into automotive style needs to see this collection. Great video thank you!
That Delahay. Watching the light play across the deep red paint..... WOW!!
Mullin is on the board of the Art Center, teaching auto design. The silver Bugatti at the end was designed and built by those students. On a Bugatti running gear. Some lucky students.......
Great video
Next week we look at the Nethercutt Collection. Hundreds of cars, but also TOYS. Oh, and a kings train.
This is a great collection beautifully done for us to see. And the music is perfect.
Thanks!!!!
So many works of art that inspire!
I stumbled upon your videos a few weeks ago while following a scale car model rabbit trail on here... I really enjoy both of your positive attitudes and enthusiasm for life and all the cool things about it. Keep doing what you’re doing. 👍🏻
I and thanks! We’ve mostly been doing Train’s for the last six months simply because we can do those without going out into a dangerous world! We’re really looking forward to getting back to the car collections and museums and car shows and Train shows and all kinds of fun things. In the meantime we’re playing with our trains!
@@ToyManTelevision I enjoy some of those, too. 👍🏻
WOW! Simply WOW!
Like no others.
Beautiful Cars from an era where they all had personality.
Mike
The 20s and 30s in Paris. What a time. And then it was suddenly gone.
This appears to be in the old building that used to house the Otis Chandler collection, which was auctioned off about 10 years ago after his death. Nice to see this beautiful collection.
Indeed it is!! Good call. Mostly a hang out back then. People coming and going, talking cars. A legendary time and place.
Hey there! I got to watch your video today on the overhead big TV! Clarity for the cars was terrific! LOL! It made the cars look great!
I love to see it big and on proper speakers. I mix for phones so people can hear it but do keep the sound as full as I can. Old hippie sound guy.
Dale and Karen, hey! Congratulations on that award you won! I saw that on Facebook couple days ago.
THANKS!!! Just WOW!! Reminds me of when we were kids and got the gold star on our forehead from the teacher. Both Karyn and I gave out a few of those to students as well! Nice to get one back.
If you ever are coming to the other side of the world and are into Art Deco, come to Napier in New Zealand. They have a festival each year.
Napier had the "good fortune" in 1933 to be flattened by an earthquake and much of the city was rebuilt in the style of the era. They make quite an event of it!
Love to see that! In the states there are similar stories. Nevada City California was a classic Victorian mining town until a fire destroyed much of it. Rebuilt in art nouveau. Now that’s weird! Old west mining town with scores of Art Nouveau buildings cast in concrete. Santa Barbara was leveled by an earthquake and was mostly rebuilt in California Mission style. The histrionic buildings rebuilt or left as ruins. But what a beautiful city! All planned and built to a design sparing no expense. Just beautiful.
Always a treat to find these collectible cars! This gallery has some of the best Art Deco cars ever made! Elegant in ways that word can not describe! Always good to visit California!!
Beautiful documentary! 😁
Wow! Look at those classic cars! :)
All I can say is WOW!
Amazing right? Different collection next week. Just as amazing really but totally different
The Lane Motor Museum in Nashville, TN has several Tatras in its collection
We want to see that museum
Thank you for showing this unique collection.
What struck me is the number of Right Hand drive vehicles. (I live in Australia which is RHD.)
Would be nice to know more of the history of some of vehicles, such as those which are just a frame and un-restored.
We are getting back to those. All are Bugattis. The one out of Lake Geneva is the most AMAZING story. And the Slumph cars.. All after the new year.
that's pretty wild
Mind boggling
Right? Like nothing we have ever seen.
wow awesome cars it's just gratifying that theres cars like that still around,goes to show everything was built good,strong back then unlike today's vehicles plus the simplicity of them was nice another example of less is more.
Art. Form and function. Pure beauty.
To find out more about Tatra look up "Tatra Trucks". They still make heavy duty trucks
Doing that. Thanks...
Toy Man Television. Tatra is not french but from former Czechoslovakia. They where small but had some really interesting cars like one with a V8 tail motor. Yes they stil make truck, I believe the where taking part in Paris - Dakar rally 2016 and they build a 8x8 truck. I love your show and you should hop over the pond and visit Europe. The french national car museum in Mulhouse with 130+ Bugatti’s is fantastic. I believe today’s show had a few unrestored cars from them that you just past way to fast with your camera. Keep up the good work and I love that you do this as a couple!
@@bokhans Yes Czech. I have done the research too ever since i saw one up close and personal at a Leake Car Auction 3 years ago.
Really want to see the Mulhouse Museum. We are hoping to get over there soon!! Next Sunday we are looking at a different collection near by, the Neithercut collection. AND we revisit the Tatra when we compare it to the Tucker in the Neithercut collection. Clearly the tucker is based on this Tatra. Air cooled aircraft engine in the rear, center headlight. Tucker is much larger, but really look similar.
New supporter
the one @ 11:30 is super DECO, love it
Hard to pick one. I really love the underwater Bugatti too. Great story how it ended up underwater for 60 years and now here.
It's fun to take one of those little plastic "french curve" templates and hold it out and line it up with parts of the car. You really see how the "french curve" works.
By the way, if the Citroen wasn't allowed in the USA, a friend imported a Mustang some 30 or 40 years ago, but the red rear turn signals weren't allowed: he replaced them with some metal plate and Citroen 2CV signal light to get the authorization (the Ford signals were quickly mounted back after the importation check!)
Most models were not. Many were brought in by people but most either were not allowed or people had to make big changes.
Fabulous cars and a great bit of "screwing around". Small detail Tatra is a Czech car and truck manufacturer. It is the second oldest company in the world producing cars with an unbroken history. Yhis mdel was rear engined and air cooled I believe.
Yes! Did not know the car. Apparently sold in France through Citron dealers. Following up on this next week showing how the American Tucker is based on this model Tatra.
When ever your in Oregon you should come to the heritage center and check it out
We did a show there a while back. On 4449. Couple of months ago.
My hot wheel collection has this guy beat !. Lmmfao!
Have you seen our show on the hot wheels freeway? ruclips.net/video/WHNY1UF2xDw/видео.html
Good morning Toyman
Cracking good coffee this morning.Toys, Christmas and coffee. Gotta love life.
Great show, guys! That car at 5:16. Where did he find that?
In lake Geneva Switzerland, The Swiss Customs office threw it there 70 years ago for failure to pay export taxes. great story. The car was won in a high stakes poker game but the guy couldn't afford the taxes. We really cover it in part 2 on the Bugattis
@@ToyManTelevision Interesting.
@13.00 Tatra was not French but rather Czech auto manufacturer , great video though, and if you ever get lost in France try the Citee de l Automobile : Ex Schlumpf collection in Mulhouse, Alsace region, which I believe has the highest number of Bugatti cars under one roof (over 120)
Hi! Yes, oops on the Tatra. Part of the Citron collection, I guess they sold Tatra at Citron dealers. The Mulhouse in Alsace is (I think) perhaps, the worlds best auto museum. These are private collections. We are going to follow up on the Tatra in an upcoming show. One day we will see the Mulhouse. Shame I was not into autos what I was a student in Paris back in 72. It was not far away.
@@ToyManTelevision The car collection did not open to the public until 1982. The Schlumpf brothers had some financials troubles back in 1976, and the Alsace region took ownership of the collection for partial bailout of the brothers financial turmoils, then the region put the collection at the French National Historic Registry to protect it from being dispersed. I had a chance to visit it in 1990 while in the military and it was quite an experience. the Schlump pieces at the Peter Mullin museum come from the the 5 dozen cars that Arlette Schlump, the widow of Fritz Schlump, got back from the museum after some fierce legal battle in 1998.
Peter tried to buy the entire Schlumph collection for years. Not sure what the offers were but the intent was to keep them in the area. But at some point these cars were sold. As I got the story, not at all sure on this, the Schlumph Brothers somehow kept these. But they were still in the old building the Schlumph had the entire collection in before Alsace started removing them. They have photos of the collection when it was basically just these cars. HOWEVER, in the photo are some real finds, mostly race cars, that Peter was not able to acquire.
That location was the place the Chandler Museum previously. Chandler owned the LA Times.
Dude! Yup. I’ve heard it was quite the hangout. I guess the collection was broken up. Shame. But that’s what happens. Hope you are well. Merry Christmas 🎁
The Tatra 600, named the Tatraplan, was a rear-engined air cooled large family car (D-segment in Europe) produced from 1948 to 1952 by the Czech manufacturer, it is not a French car!
Yes! Didn’t know. In with French cars. Apparently sold by Citron. Anyway following up on that next Sunday showing how the American Tucker is really based on this model of Tatra. As well as the VW bettle. Didn’t know!
O yah hay toyman I started a restoration on the nose of port of Tillamook bay railroad 6157
We are heading back soon. Wanna ride the Skokum. AND see the Spruce Goose.
I'm in to trains but I'm really interested in this video keep screwing around
Planes trains and automobiles. But trains are perhaps the best. But you can't drive one in the mountains at 100 mph. But all fun as heck!
@@ToyManTelevision yah
I'm a little confused about the 1936 Bugatti Atlantic you show at 4:12. In every other video I've seen, Mullin's Atlantic is center stage at the Museum on a rotating podium, and it's a light sky blue color. This one in your video is light silver with no traces of blue and is displayed off to the side against a wall. does he own two Atlantics? did he have his Atlantic repainted from light blue to silver?
Oh, BTW, in searching for pics of this car to see if I could answer that quesiton myself, it (that is the light blue one) appears it was bought in 2010 by Rob Walton of the Walmart Waltons, and then later became co-owned by Mullin.
**edit** I found another video with a closeup of the informational plaque, which indicates the Atlantic "was purchased by an anonymous donor" and "is on loan to the Mullin Auto Museum". I would assume by Rob Walton is the anonymous donor referred to.
Hi. As I heard it Walton and Mullen own it together. It is a very lite blue silver. Same car. It moves around. Mullen has 5 spaces. New one in London. But a doubt the Atlantic will ever get there. We saw it in the Mullen gallery in the Peterson museum in LA. More often it’s at the Mullen museum in Oxnard. But also at Mullen’s gallery at his office of at his home.
There will be more screwing around coming to Toy Man Television very soon! So make sure that you subscribe and click on that Notification Bell to be notified as soon as the next video is available for your own personal screwing around.
Thanks Rita!! Hope you are well.
Lolol!! Aww..you're welcome!😀
Hi Great fl8m but Tatra is a Czech vehicle manufacturer.
Thanks. I need to find them. I hear they now make trucks.
Wow, what a museum it is. I like how the cars are well presented, not packed like the local museum here (Mulhouse).
I didn't know that some part of the Schlumpf collection was in USA, as most part remains here.
It's a bit strange to see all these cars with French license plate. We don't see these black one often here.
The Voisin Aérodyne is a beautiful car, I was amazed when I saw one ( ruclips.net/video/P3tPdx7NO1s/видео.html )
By the way, Tatra isn't French but Czech. They are still making truck.
Planning to see Mulhouse at some point. Mullen is starting another “garage”. This time in London. Don’t know how much the cars will move around when it’s not easy to get them there. Petter May already cars there. But he has a house there. There was a man with us, he’s the tall man on the tour who came from France just to see these cars. A attempted my French on him. I think I said “some good autos and biscuits in the paper store here”. But I think he understood.
@@ToyManTelevision When I visited the Mulhouse car museum in October, I was surprised that more than half of the visitors are foreigners. I don't think that French would be an issue there (expect for the few video), but still many people don't speak English in France.
mine grandfather was Citroën fan he did have servals Citroën DS and we did call them more as Iron (strijkijzer) due his look of it :) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citro%C3%ABn_DS and the Citroën 2CV we do call them Ugly duck i don't know why but it was well funny to see sometimes on the road :) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citro%C3%ABn_2CV
When I lived in France I would laugh at them going around curves on 3 wheels. Designed to do that!! Part of the air suspension. The more expensive ones were really nice. The Citroen Maserati was amazing. There were 2 here.
@@ToyManTelevision i know because i did saw om tv when german scrapyard brothers driving with that car on runway by local airport. don't ask how they do it but they did and it was funny to see on 3 wheels driving.
Yes! When I first saw one I thought it was broken. BUt then a friend said NO! they are designed to do that, WHY I asked... No answer. No one knows.
@@ToyManTelevision it was more for the farmers. sometimes it was handy when their cars are broken in the field and than they used it for driving home... that is what i hear from some friends of mine
Back then I thought they were the worst cars I had ever seen. Today I love them. Thats the way it goes.
The first Bugatti that comes into shot is a type 59 not a type 35. A little bit more study needed…
4:55 you can see the REAL world's best automobile collection (schlumpf)
I should have said privately owned. Schlumpf was but seized by France over employee issues and taxes. But yes, that’s the best.
Does the owner drive them? Are they still street leagle?
No and yes. All legal, all drivable.All licensed. But most never leave the parking lot. But they do get started and driven in the lot. Larry Miller built a track just for his car collection. Sure they also had races but the real use was screwing around. He would climb in his Cobra Daytona and totally rip up the track. 8 million and he's going for it. We have video of the car that won La Mans in 67 drifting at 140 mph!! OH LARRY! Sad he left us.
Tatra is not from Franche it is from Tschechie
Its not trains, thumbs down.
But it cool. Next week another CAR collection. BUT it also has a train!.
Dont be a sourpuss
