I do believe that his intentions were to build and display in a museum. As for the number he purchased which I think was in excess of 300 fire engines and 250+ calssic cars and 50+ misc other vehicles and construction equip. - I HAVE NO CLUE![/quote]
I was there for both viewings. I was told by a fire chief that sold their engine to him that he gave them cash for it and asked for a receit so he could show it as a donation and use it as a write-off. I was told that he always had a fasination with firetrucks and wanted to collect many and make a museum.
