Nearing the end of the tour, we had one more giant room to explore, the Vespa collection which contains 110 of them. Mr. Dezer managed to find a huge stash of brand new 1950’s Vespas that had never been ridden or sold. They had been kept in dry storage and still have their original tires. Perhaps he found a defunct dealership somewhere. Impressive collection, for sure. Our last stop was the Duesenberg room, which features two modern Duesenberg II’s (fiberglass body, modern drivetrain and interior) which are considered to be some of the finest replicas in the world, as well as an original Duesenberg.

Thoroughly worn out, Tara and I finished our tour of the amazing Dezerland collection. Over 900 cars, including countless movie and tv cars, over 100 Vespas, and all sorts of Americana and memorabilia from model airplanes and boats to jukeboxes and pinball machines, await you if you choose to visit. Plan on being overwhelmed, but talk with the guides to learn as you go. Between Cory and Robert, Tara and I both walked away with a ton of new information about everything from Bond movie vehicles to Russian cars. It’s awesome, check it out!
