Collector Loses Entire Collection in CA Wildfires

Malibu, CA -- According to an Instagram post from the Old Crow Speed Shop in Burbank, noted Southern California collectors Gary and Diane Cerveny have reportedly lost their entire 30-plus car collection in the California wildfires. Among the losses is the one-of-a-kind Norman Timbs Special streamlined custom.

The couple were interviewed by Hot Rod in 2013 about their eclectic collection that included everything from a 1965 Pontiac GTO and a 1966 Dodge Dart to 1950s Indy roadsters and a Studebaker kart hauler.
