Lingenfelter Collection

The History Behind the Lingenfelter Collection

The Lingenfelter Collection was started by Ken Lingenfelter, the son of a General Motors executive and lifelong car enthusiast. Ken has always loved stylish, high-performance automobiles and was able to buy his first Corvette in 1977. From there, he acquired more cars and the collection grew. He eventually sold his company so he could pursue the Lingenfelter Collection and his passion for cars full-time.

In 2008, Ken merged his collection with Lingenfelter Performance Engineering, an auto engineering company owned by Ken’s distant cousin. With the help of this new company, the Lingenfelter Collection continues to pursue high-performance vehicles and create excitement among hot-rodders, racers, and exotic car enthusiasts in both Brighton and further afield.

Highlights of the Collection

You can view some of the cars in the collection on the website, but nothing beats seeing them, or hearing Ken Lingenfelter talk about his passion for his vehicles, in person. Some impressive cars from the collection include:

  • 1954 Chevrolet Corvette EX-87 “Duntov Mule”
  • 1973 Opel GT
  • 1987 Zimmer Quicksilver
  • 2011 Chevrolet Camaro “Trans Am”
  • 2008 Lamborghini Reventon

Each car in the Lingenfelter Collection is lovingly maintained, keeping it in ideal condition for visitors to view. On the website, you can also find the full description of each vehicle if you wish to learn more about it.

Plan Your Visit

The Lingenfelter Collection is located at 7819 Lochlin Dr, Brighton, MI 48116. While the company side is open every weekday from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, the collection itself is not available for the general public to view every day.
