This Iowa Chevy collection features rare Camaros, vintage Chevys, and Iowa cars, all housed in what might be the most impressive private garage in the Midwest.

The Chevy collection belongs to Denny Alba, an enthusiast who has assembled a museum-worthy selection of General Motors history.

Captured on video by Ryan from Iowa Classic Cars, the tour highlights a wide range of vehicles from 1913 Chevys to 1959 Impalas in every factory color.

With rare muscle cars and historic memorabilia covering every wall, this Chevy collection offers a behind-the-scenes look at American car culture.

The video was posted by IowaClassicCars on YouTube and gives a full walkthrough of the space, including some of the most valuable GM muscle cars ever made.

Among the rare Camaros are two 1969 Camaro ZL1s, a full lineup of authentic Yenko Camaros, a Baldwin Motion Camaro, and an ultra-rare 1981 Yenko Turbo Z.

These cars are either fully restored or lightly modified to improve usability while staying true to their original styling.

Even just this Camaro section could hold its own against a dedicated museum.

Denny’s vintage Chevys range from early pre-war models to iconic 1970s cruisers.

Standouts include a lineup of black convertibles from 1955 through 1966, all in pristine condition.

One especially well-equipped 1959 Impala features Tri-Power carburetors, factory air conditioning, power vent windows, a tissue dispenser, and a range of rare trim options.

Some elements, like paint dividers and two-tone finishes, weren’t offered by the factory but add character and visual interest to the collection.

The walls are packed with authentic GM signage, dealer posters, porcelain gas signs, and rare accessories collected over decades.

While a few cars were imported from Europe, most were sourced from within the United States and restored to high standards.

Though not open to the public, the Chevy collection is sometimes shown during charity events or by private arrangement.

Denny Alba’s Chevy collection is a tribute to American automotive history.

With rare Camaros, vintage Chevys, and Iowa cars all showcased in one place, it’s a personal museum built on passion and preservation.

Even without public access, the video walkthrough offers a rare opportunity to experience one of the most complete GM collections anywhere in the world.
