For years people have been fascinated by cars and the celebrities that own them. Now is your chance to get a bird's eye view at some of the rarest cars around and learn about the people that owned them.
Located inside the Imperial Palace, The Auto Collection brings cars from all over the world into one place. Stroll through the Grand Salon and check out cars owned by stars such as Howard Hughes, Nicholas Cage and Johnny Carson. Cars include the 1932 Ford High Boy, 1957 Corvette, 1970 GTO and 1931 Minerva 8 AL Rollston Convertible Sedan. Of course the only thing that could make this a better experience is if you were able to take the car home with you. Well, you are in luck as the cars are for sale, but you better bring plenty of cash or have one heck of a credit card as some of these beauties can go for up to $5 million.
Little out of your price range, huh? You might want to just continue to do a little window shopping. Check out the 1942 Lincoln Armored Presidential limo that was made for Franklin Roosevelt or Howard Hughes' 1929 Deusenberg. There is even a 1974 beetle with the sticker price still attached to the window and the odometer reading 80 miles.
For those that are looking for something a little bit more reasonably priced to take home as a souvenir, try hitting up the gift shop where you can choose from things such as puzzles and books.
