Today is our third instalment of three dedicated to our recent visit to the Plunkett Private Collection. For some background on the visit, please have a look at the page we published originally – linked here as well as our second instalment. This non-Cadillac portion of the collection is housed in more traditional garages, somewhat like the style we have at our homes, if not the quantity. While the collection is not Cadillac-only, as it turns out, it is all General Motors. Please note that the Chevs, GMC and Cadillac STS on this page are housed separately from the rest and used more frequently and for more utilitarian purposes (well, maybe not the Corvettes). The underground tunnel pictured connects the home on the estate to these garages while the autographs and photos document the visits to the collection of various celebrities. Thank you, Plunkett Private Collection!

@vintageracer – so many beautiful cars, such a tough decision! Thanks for watching.
I’m thinking that Buick Roadmaster Convertible is a 1953, That would be my choice.
