[VIDEO] Meet Lenny Shiller, Brooklyn Native With a Massive Collection of Vintage Cars

Brooklyn based director of photography and editor Peter Crosby recently created this fantastic profile mini-documentary introducing Lenny Shiller, a Brooklynite born and raised with an impressive treasure trove of vintage cars tucked away in a non-descript Gowanus warehouse.

Lenny Shiller is a lifelong Brooklyn resident and classic car collector. He has amassed a staggering 58 rare classic cars, while he also owns hundreds of vintage bikes, motorcycles, and memorabilia. Lenny spends his time restoring and maintaining his collection, with the intention one day to pass them on to the next generation.

The walls of his 12,000sqft garage in Gowanus are stacked with car parts he has collected over the years, the space resembling part working garage, part museum.

We think Lenny's Garage is a great little profile video and Vimeo agrees, making it a Vimeo Staff Pick this week.
