Dennis Mitosinka certainly didn't have average taste and he was certainly an enthusiastic collector. This explains how a very special collection was created in the building of a former Hupmobile dealer, amassed over the course of a lifetime. In addition to over 400 memorabilia such as children's pedal cars, toys, mascots, racing car parts and automotive art, there were also just over 30 cars for sale online from September 16 to 15, 2020, which were certainly average for what you can usually find at auctions. One focus of Mitosinka's collection was on unusual cars from small American manufacturers, above all Stutz, four of which were auctioned off from the tens and twenties, two of which even significantly exceeded expectations.
