------I knew Len Immke and he did more than collect Buicks. He kept a small circle of restorers busy on just about anything and everything with 4 wheels. Bob Adams, Leo Gephart, and Dick Garbitt were some of his favorite dealers to do business with. We even sold him a full tilt, new AMG-500SL grey-market car in all red (ugly car) for his sons birthday. A buddy of mine restored an absolutely gorgeous 1949 Hudson twin-H drop-top for him along with many others. He was famous for gigantic multiple trades, sometimes involving 20 to 30 cars. He also was the behind the scenes guy in the Wendys restraunt chain. TV Dave was the up front guy. Len actually made way more money with Wendys than he ever did with the Buick dealer, although it was the worlds biggest Buick dealer..........Bill S

--------All that and he was deathly afraid of flying. Went everywhere in a bus/motorhome!!!!!!
