A 74-year-old Nebraska man is sell­ing off his vast col­lec­tion of antique cars, and he hopes to replace all of them with a wife. Jerry Andreasen says he’d spent so much time over the decades col­lect­ing and refur­bish­ing his 90 vehi­cles he’s never had time to go on a date. A retired dry­wall worker, Andreasen says what­ever he made on the job he spent on restor­ing the old cars. Now he’s a lit­tle regret­ful. In an auc­tion August 11th, the life-long bach­e­lor will sell 90 vehi­cles, includ­ing a 1918 Buick truck dri­ven in the “Bev­erly Hill­bil­lies” TV show, from his col­lec­tion assem­bled from all over the coun­try. After the sale, Andreasen fig­ures he will have lots of spare time – hope­fully enough to look for a wife. “I don’t care if she already has a half-dozen kids,” he said.
