Guy Fieri recently showed off his extraordinary car collection

Celebrity restauranteur Guy Fieri is no stranger to getting a bit of cooking oil splashed up his apron, but engine grease is a close second as he proves to be quite the petrolhead with an incredible car collection.

Fieri spends a lot of time behind the camera now, and in a recent tour of his property, he dropped the garage door down on his car collection.

It’s safe to say, Guy Fieri is a car guy.

The fabled American TV personality showed off his home and his prized ‘art’ collection which ranged from Cadillacs and Impalas to Limos and behemoth trucks.

As celebrities‘ car collections go, many opt for the luxury route, flooding mansions with Bugattis and Lambos.

But there’s often something disingenuous about the personality that they give off. – flashy over substance.

Not Guy Fieri.

In a recent property tour with YouTube personality Graham Bensigner, the famed foodie revealed that he’s got a deep love for the ‘art’ of vintage cars.

The tour took Bensinger around Fieri’s stunning barn, which features a period-specific 1800s bar with his own signature Tequila brand – a collaboration with Sammy Hagar – and a regulation three-pointer basketball half-court on the ground floor cornucopia.

But over in his garage, Fieri has over 15 vintage cars lined up on a two-story shelf.

A 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle, a 1968 Pontiac Firebird, a 1976 Jeep CJ-5, a 1969 Chevrolet Impala SS, a 1967 Chevrolet C10 pickup, and a 1941 Cadillac Limo all stood in mint condition.

He also owns the first yellow Camaro convertible that Chevrolet ever made.

Then there is another collection over by the house – yes, the barn is his glorified man cave.

In a second garage, another stunning eight cars stood guard to his gym.

A proud 1934 Buick Phantom rounded off the collection.

But wait, there’s more.

Fieri also owns a massive 800HP Apocalypse 6×6 truck alongside his own Fire Truck to protect the very combustible wooden buildings, and a rescue truck primed with a kitchen and WiFi.

Of course, there are some more recent supercars in the collection, such as an Aston Martin.

For the most part though, it’s rustic power vehicles over speed and flash.

Van Gogh or Rolls Royce

Comparing his collection of cars to an art form, Guy Fieri defended his collection, which serves as a hobby and passion rather than a showpiece, even if he seldom gets behind the wheel of them all.

He said: “My Dad said to me once, you put so much money into these cars.

“Why? You don’t drive them.

“Does anybody walk into their parlor and rip a Van Gogh off the wall and walk it around town? This is my art.

“There’s something that I appreciate about each of these cars – about what it took to get them, how long they took, or what the story is behind it. They all have a little piece of history.”

Still, every car in the collection gets full-time care and at least one monthly venture outside of the garage, even if it’s not always Fieri himself putting his foot to the pedal.

Guy Fieri’s car collection really is a thing of beauty.
