Hope they have good fire protection on that place.

Nothing short of incredible! I can't imagine trying to maintain all that

I can only hope that the buildings these cars are stored in are equipped with well maintained state of the art fire protection systems. A fire in any one of them would take out an irreplaceable part of automotive history!

I didn’t even think of a fire in that place but you are correct- that would destroy a huge amount of automotive history

It's hard to tell from the video since everything on the ceiling is painted black, but it looks like there may be sprinkler pipes running overhead.

He posted a second video that mostly covers the exotic cars in the collection (Bugatti, Ferrari, Porsche, and so on.) In that video they go through the workshop area of the collection, so they do maintain and drive the vehicles. There is also a brief view of John Wayne's Pontiac station wagon at 7 1/2 minutes in. This video is pretty choppy, but it does show a lot of other cars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iu5-Q7RQ-M
