This was once a two story chicken barn, but now it houses a magnificent row of 50' and 60' vehicles all in mint condition and totally road worthy. If you notice on the right side of the photo, there is a row of overhead garage doors. He had to install one of these for each vehicle because he could not move the posts that held up the upper floor of the barn. Every weekend he has to decide which vehicle to drive, and he does drive them all. The beautiful baby blue T-Bird in the foreground is the car his wife drives every day. 
Lining the walls opposite the cars are rows of Juke boxes and this Soda Fountain, complete with mannequin waitresses, coke coolers, and fake food. 
They cranked on some oldie goldies for us as we admired the cars, and even got to sit in them. Most of these Juke Boxes were in perfect working order and loaded with Elvis and his contemporaries. 
Here are three of the gals sitting down to order their hamburgers, french fries and milk shakes. This little diner was incredibly authentic down to the minutest detail and certainly brought back memories for me. Me and my buddies used to hang out in a place just like this when I was a kid.
