1500 cars

This large and unique automobile museum and event space features 1,200 vehicles including The James Bond Exhibition, Hollywood Cars of the Stars, and American/European Classics

Michael Dezer’s  incredible collection  the real estate mogul’s loves: classic films and cars.

Dezer, a wealthy business partner with Trump, has taken the word “obsession” to a new level.  Fortunately, this obsession has created an entertaining local attraction for Miamians, including what Dezer boasts as the only museum commemorating the James Bond film franchise.

“This is the only Bond museum in the world,” Dezer said. “I own the largest collection of Bond vehicles, submarines, motorcycles, airplanes, helicopters, boats, and the like.”

Dezer purchased the largest collection of Bond vehicles from London and shipped it home to Miami.  The exhibit is valued at $15 million.

“These days, I’m on a mission to spend my children’s money,” he explained.

Dezer’s favorite Bond car is the 1963 Aston Martin DB5 from the 1964 movie, Goldfinger, which featured scenes from Miami Beach and starred Sean Connery as Bond. Vehicles from the modern Bond films are also displayed, including an Alfa Romeo 159 used in the 2008 Bond film, Quantum of Solace, and the Landrover used in the 2006 Bond film, Casino Royale.

In the “Cars of the Stars” exhibit, moviegoers recognize most, if not all, of Dezer’s famous Hollywood cars – each presented with dioramas depicting the movies actors or scenes.  The collection hosts about 1,500 collectable cars from America and Europe, and more than 800 motorbikes.  Beyond the cars, on display are boats, a jet, a tank, and more.

The museum is loaded with cars from popular movies and television series from decades back, including the 1948 Ford De Luxe, also known as “Greased Lightning” from Grease; the 1989 Alfa Romeo from the 2012 film, Rock of the Ages; and, one of Dezer’s favorites, the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car from the 1920s and valued at $1.5 million. Treats from the 1980s also please visitors, including: Magnum PI’s 1984 Ferrari 308 GTS with its Hawaii license plate; the Ectomobile (aka Ecto-1) – a decked out 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor ambulance fromGhostbusters (only 100 were built); The “Time Machine,” a 1981 Delorean from Back to the Future; and a 1982 Pontiac Trans Am, also known as “KITT,” from the hit 1982 television series, Knight Rider.

Inside the “Batman Lounge,” fans enjoy an impressive array of Batmobiles, Batcycles, and even a Batboat used in the forgettable 1995 film, Batman Forever.  The Batman vehicles range in time from the comical Adam West television series in 1966 to the newest Christopher Nolan trilogy.

Dezer started collecting cars more than 50 years ago, when he was just 16 years old.  In his native Israel, his father spurred the lifelong passion by giving him a Vespa.  Now, Dezer owns more Vespas than anyone.
