BROOKVILLE, Pa. – Vintage car enthusiasts and Cadillac lovers will have the opportunity to see a private collection of 70+ fully restored Cadillacs during the Laurel Week Festival in Brookville from June 17 to June 20. ... The Greenberg Cadillac Museum – displaying America’s premier automotive brand spanning the decades from 1905 to the present – will be open during Laurel Festival from Thursday, June 17, to Sunday, June 20, from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. ... The museum is located at 67 South White Street in Brookville.

The Cadillac Collection started when a young eye surgeon, Dr. Steven Greenberg, moved from Detroit, Michigan, to Brookville in 1973 at the wheel of his beloved 1966 Cadillac. That was to be the first vehicle in an amazing Cadillac collection that has now expanded to be the largest in the country.

As he built his ophthalmology practice and saw it grow to a multi-center institution that has restored the eyesight of tens of thousands of patients, he never lost his love for cars and specifically for Cadillacs. Upon retirement from eye surgery, to “keep his hands busy,” he began to collect and restore vintage Cadillacs.



With the aid and tutelage of local automotive artisans, he now spends his days rebuilding the cars mechanically and cosmetically, bringing them back to factory-correct specifications, labor that involves everything from engine rebuilding to paint and upholstery. ... “This collection of the finest American luxury cars is my passion, and I am excited to share these beautiful automobiles for the first time,” said Dr. Greenberg.
