Ok, this is just a quick question thread, but maybe you can help me.

Now I'm sure at least someone has watched the Pimp My Ride (still stupid; an ice cream truck, what next...). It's now in the Galpin Auto Sports building since WCC moved into a new location.

Now, I'm not going to ask if you think it's a better place than WCC. Naw, but if you've seen the show, you'll notice when the vehicle's owner is walking down a long walkway. On this walkway, and near it is a BIG collection of cars. The most noticeable is a silver XJ220 and an Aston Martin DB7 Coupe.

So, my question is does anyone know about this collection and where to learn, or see, more of it? There's quite a few more exotics in the back, and my only reason for actually watching the show.

The Galpin Autos gives no info on, and Galpin Auto Sports only gives me crap on how to modify my ride or the show.
Any help, glady appreciated.:)
 
I don't think it's a collection - if it's the same Galpin, that's a high-end Ford dealer and those cars are for sale. There might be a collection as well, but I don't know.
 
I believe it is considering it says the owner of GAS is somehow related or in the same industry with Galpin Ford.

If they are for sale, that's quite an establishment to sell cars in. I don't remember, but it looks as if the cars sit on a carpet.

While I don't know where it is, I have always found it funny that these people just walk past a Jaguar XJ220, apparently in giddy anticipation for their still-crappy car, only now with a body kit and a "monitor" in the trunk.
 
Very true, though I think the Ice Cream man was the only who gave any attention.

But yeah, that's true. I would have to tell Xzibit, "yeah yeah whatever, look at this car!"
 
Most if not all of Galpin's dealers are located in the San Fernando Valley which, for those of you not familiar with the L.A. area, is right over the mountains from Hollywood. Suffice to say, I'm not familiar with Galpin Auto Sports.
 
galpin is a large multi dealer shop. they used to have a collection of rare jaguars, which they showcased in its own little mini museum.

i live maybe 2 miles from there, but havent been there since it was renovated. GAS is the new location for pimp my ride, and GAS also customises a lot of galpin cars for customers.

im sure if you google thier custom cars you can find them. theres usually a whole stand of them at the LA auto show.
