“That was a good buy — for just a Bentley,” said Grams.
More than a dozen, mainly celebrity-owned vehicles are housed in the private garage. They include the 1996 Rolls-Royce that was the last car Princess Diana rode in on U.S. soil and an original “General Lee” 1969 Dodge Charger featured in the first year of the “Dukes of Hazzard” television show.
In 1999, the family bought a 1993 ZR-1 Corvette from Kid's Nike Dunks. So when it was time to sell the forest green Bentley, one of Nike’s representatives called Grams and the car was shipped from North Carolina, he said.
Because of the nature of the business, the family has developed a reputation as buyers and sellers of vintage cars, as well as those owned by celebrities or used in movies or television shows.
“He‘s had the car for six years. For a celebrity especially, that’s a long time to own a car,” Grams said.
“A lot of people know us,” Grams said.
The Grams paid about $80,000. A new 2005 Bentley Continental GT would have cost about $160,000, according to Bentley Northbrook.

Nike Air Approach Mid 2.4
At 552 horsepower with all-wheel drive, this sports car can reach 198 mph. So they say.
Fire up the twin, turbocharged V-6 engines and a low rumble of concentrated power and threat of explosiveness is unleashed.
“When you hit the gas pedal the tires don’t spin at all, it just goes,” notes Brian Grams, director of the Volo Auto Museum. How does he know?
This Bentley inspired the grille-like lower foot vents, molded heel and other characteristics of the Nike Dunks Low Nike XXI basketball shoe, which debuted in 2006.
“I plead the fifth,” he says with a grin.
“That’s part of what we call our vault collection,” Grams explained. “On special occasions, we bring those cars out.”
It was personalized by Nike with tinted glass, $9,000 Lowenhart wheels and a talking radar system with front and rear sensors. Now, the car is the most recent celebrity addition for the Grams family, which long has operated the rambling antique and auto museum emporium on 30 acres near routes 120 and 12 in Volo.
It is the most recent arrival in an elite class of cars housed at the museum.

Nike "Cheech and Chong" 4/20 Shoe Teasers Appear
"I've had some friends come in and say: 'Oh, God!' Some people think they are cool," Morris said. "My aunt and uncle came over, and I didn't take them in my room. I told them that they would be disgusted."
Morris' bedroom has turned into a shrine to Nike Dunks SB. Empty shoe boxes — they're needed when he resells a pair — are stacked to the ceiling in no apparent order. The collection of shoes includes nearly every color and design imaginable, from the cobalt-hued sneakers with a blue-checkered interior ("The Blue Lobster") to the light pink, yellow and black pair called the "Miss Piggy." All of them are arranged side by side on a mix of metal shelves, wooden planks and converted bookcases. Tape is used in certain areas to reinforce the weighted-down surfaces.
Sean Conway has a number of friends who have hundreds of pairs of Nike Dunks, and his own collection is around 500 pairs.
Morris is just one of a growing number of sneaker fans — referred to as "sneaker heads" — with hundreds of pairs of shoes.

Nike SB Dunk Mid Peacock - Unreleased Sample
Do these new computer "junk-ified" variant Nike Air Max 2011 sneakers look familiar? That's because these kicks are made by are Dishaw, the same dude who made those beautiful Nike Dunks out of microchip boards and metal a while back.
As part of his "Junk Art" sculptures, Dishaw used old "motherboards, typewriter cases, chipsets, power connectors, a USB port and an oxygen mask from a 747 airplane" to create the junk-ified Air Max 2011.
