By: Rex Roy .

The quest to uncover the automotive capital's most interesting dream garages prompted motorjournalist Rex Roy, a native Detroiter, to look in his own backyard. Once he plugged into the vast network of Motor City collectors, dozens of amazing private garages opened their bays to Roy and his camera. The best of the best is featured here in Motor City Dream Garages. Roy's research led him into some of the most- fabled garages in Detroit and brought him face to face with past and present leaders of the automotive world, including:

• Robert Lutz, Vice Chairman of General Motors
• Jack Roush, CEO of Roush Industries and co-owner of Roush Fenway Racing
• James Holden, ex-president and CEO of The Chrysler Group.

Roy also interviewed internationally respected collectors, including Richard Kughn, former owner of Lionel Trains; and Larry Smith, Chairman of the renowned Meadow Brook Concours d'Elegance.

The garages of icons like these are presented here, along with their personal thoughts on what makes for great collections. Roy begins his coverage with what may be the world's first genuine dream garage, appropriately created by none other than Henry Ford. While many of the garages in Motor City Dream Garages house grand and elite collections, several are home to modest and attainable lineups, providing a range sure to interest every automotive enthusiast.
