Michael Frohlich is a classic car dealer in Germany. Yet, he is so much more than that; he builds electric sports cars and even built his own "classic" vehicle. He also drives around in a steel dragon car and owns the world's smallest car called the Peel.

In 2000, he caused quite a stir when he displayed fifty expensive classic cars in the woodlands on his private estate as a 50th birthday gift to himself. All the vehicles are from the year 1950 and are now still rusting away. He says if any of the cars should be restored today, they'd be worth a lot of money.

He also owns a classic car shop where he collects, restores, and sells all sorts of vintage vehicles. Michael's private collection includes a vehicle found in Sicily created by a Mafia boss for his own funeral before he had died.
