Question of the Day - 28 October 2020

The Auto Collections, essentially a museum with dozens of classic cars on display, closed to the public on December 30, 2017. It was a 125,000-square-foot showroom on the fifth floor of the Linq’s five-story parking garage and vintage cars had been on display at the hotel since the early 1980s. Ralph Engelstad, owner of the Imperial Palace, as the Linq was previously known, displayed his private car collection there as a museum from 1981 to 1999. Engelstad then brought in the last set of operators to sell his vehicles, plus gasoline pumps, collectibles, and other display items. They took over the museum and turned it into a classic-car showroom, where almost all of the cars on display were for sale.

Over the next 17 years, the collection dwindled to approximately 65 cars, down from 200 or so in the Imperial Palace era, as other attractions opened and foot traffic trailed off, while the Auto Collection dealers did more and more of their business online and via print ads.

As for the remaining cars in the Linq showroom, the vast majority were on consignment. Either they were sold (most were) or they went back to their owners.
