Long Forgotten Corvette Collection Rediscovered

November 3, 2014

Peter Max is a prominent New York artist who heard about the contest from a friend just before he was headed to bed. He went to sleep and then reportedly dreamed about the Corvettes:

“I was half-asleep and went back to sleep after the call,” Mr. Max said. “Then I had the biggest dream ever: I was in the bleachers at a football game, and suddenly these Corvettes come out of the tunnels.”

Each of the cars had a cheerleader on the back, waving pom-poms, he said. “And the whole stadium screams, ‘They’re Peter Max’s cars!’ I’ve never had such a powerful dream.”

So he made a deal with Dennis Amodeo, giving him $250,000 in cash, $250,000 in Peter Max artwork, and a portion of the proceeds should the cars be sold again.

The cars were packaged up and shipped to New York, with Peter Cahill assisting in the logistics of getting the 36 Corvettes from Los Angeles to Manhattan.

Here’s where the story takes a turn.
