Topic: Imperial Palace Auto Collections

[Arthur Dent]

I was lucky enough to get a quick visit to the Imperial Palace Auto Collections in Las Vegas. They even have a free admission coupon on their website. It is both a museum and showroom with a majority of the cars for sale. The full gallery of photos is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/daveseven/sets/72157626886521632/ but below are some of the highlights.

This 1966 Bizzarini P538 Spyder was the prototype for the small number of P538s produced. It has a different chassis than the later cars. They are mid engined with either a V8 or V12.





1946 Delahaye 135MS Selborne





One of my favorites of the day was this 1954 Ford Taunus 12M. First one I’d ever seen and quite unexpected in such a place. The Taunus is a German Ford and had a 1.2L four cylinder engine.





1988 ItalDesign Aztec – I remember being fascinated by this when it came out. Apparently there was a production run of 18 commissioned by Japanese fan. They featured a 2.5L Audi turbo engine and all wheel drive.





This fantastic 1933 Pierce Arrow Silver Arrow is one of three known to exist. It was previously in the Harrah Auto Collection.

I was there 3 years ago.  What an impressive collection.  I have 100's of photos on my computer still.  So many one off rides there.

I know someone who lived down the road from me who used to drive his RS200 to the shops to get milk & bread.
