You don't need to know a carburetor from a camshaft to appreciate the car show at the Imperial Palace. This renowned collection features more than 200 antique and classic cars. The show features rare vehicles and celebrity-owned cars. A major highlight of the collection is the Model J Dusenbergs. The Imperial Palace has the world's largest accumulation of such rarities that together are worth more than $30 million.

Also of interest is President's Row, where some of the former presidents' cars are displayed. Check out JFK's 1962 Lincoln Continental (not that car), FDR's 1936 V-16 Cadillac, Truman's 1950 Lincoln Cosmopolitan with gold-plated interior, and Ike's 20-foot-long parade car, a 1952 Chrysler Imperial.

The Imperial Palace also has a dictator's section. Even fascists love cars. See Czar Nicholas II's 1914 Rolls-Royce, Juan Peron's 1939 straight-8 Packard, and Emperor Hirohito's 1935 Packard. One of the most interesting and sometimes controversial cars in the collection is the mine-proof, bulletproof, armored 1936 Mercedes-Benz 770K once owned by Adolf Hitler.

On a more pleasant note, some of the celebrity cars include Elvis Presley's 1976 Cadillac Eldorado and Al Capone's 1930 V-16 Cadillac. Several cars have been modified by their owners to better fit their personality. Liberace's 1981 Zimmer, fitted with candelabras, is on display, as is W.C. Field's black 1938 Cadillac V-16 with a built-in bar. Obviously, he was not concerned with drinking and driving except to say that he liked it.
