this may be old news to a lot of you but it was news to me. i bought a june issue of PONTIAC ENTHUSIAST magazine at the phoenix pontiac heaven meet. when i was on the plane i read one of the most amazing articles i have ever seen!
a very eccentric individual in a town called jackson township ohio (just miles from columbus) owned a lot of land. he started having people with older cars (mainly pontiacs and caddy's) store thier old "relics" on his property. when owners couldn't pay the storage after a while he kept the cars....and the cars kept building up and building up.after 20 years he had more than 400 pontiacs from the 50's & 60's and over 200 primo 1955-1960 cadillacs!
in reading the june '99 article it said
that there was a zoning violation and they gave this gave a very minimal time to get rid of the cars and clean the heavily wooded property. the eccentric individual (who often went by different names) coudn't do anything in such a short time and the entire land was siezed.
