Unless you’re a resident or regularly pass through the village of Elm Creek in Nebraska, there’s a big chance you’ve never heard about the Chevyland U.S.A. museum. While interest for its collection of 1910s to 1960s cars was initially high for enthusiasts passing through the I-80 area, dwindling attendance since the 1990s has led to the closing of the exhibition a couple of years ago. 11 photos
And now, unfortunately, the collection is being dismantled as no less than 550 items will go down under the hammer during an upcoming auction hosted on May 6th by a company called BigIron Auctions. The outlet is actually better known for its foray into the agricultural equipment domain, but they’re probably trying to expand with their first-ever classic car auction event.

When someone spends their entire lifetime collecting something unique, and they have an obvious passion for that collection, it isn’t often that it comes up for sale.
Monte Hollertz was a south-central Nebraska farmer who had just such a passion for Chevy vehicles. In addition to farming corn and soybeans, he spent his life scoping the country for unique Chevys then took it one step further and opened his iconic “Chevyland USA” museum at Elm Creek along Interstate 80.
