an amazing look into a collectors obsession that lasted longer than he did, as yet another guy kept amassing a collection of cars he never drove and died without ever getting them out of the garage

I recommend you go full screen to see all the stuff in the garage

Glen Hague was a 1950 graduate of Broad Ripple High School, attended Butler University and a veteran of the U.S. Air Force.

He began his lifelong career in the car business in 1945 at the age of 13 when he started sweeping floors at a Ford dealership. He joined a Ford dealership after his time in the Air Force in 1956 and went on to become one of the top Ford salesmen in the country for many years, receiving numerous awards and honors.

In 1965, he was named Ford’s “Top Hatter” for “Outstanding Sales Ability and Achievement as one of the Top Ford Salesmen in the United States.

In 1974, Hague was recognized for Outstanding Sales and Service Effort on Behalf of the Customers and named to Ford Salesmen’s 300-500 Club, a benchmark for excellence in sales and customer service.

Hague started collecting classic cars after an old family friend arrived at their house in a Model A in the late 1960s. He spent innumerable hours pursuing their acquisition and restoration, she said. “He loved anything with an engine including cars, boats, Cushman motor scooters (he had one as a teenager), amphi-cats and motorcycles … He loved telling stories about how and where he found them, becoming a recognized expert in the field of classic cars.”

And he owned a lot of old cars. So many that “the family began to grow a bit alarmed as buildings started sprouting up around our house to hold his ever-growing collection,” Karen Hague said. “He read about old cars, tinkered with them, talked endlessly to his car buddies about them and was always on the lookout for a potential find.”
