ILIKECARS53 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Most New Jersey collectors know the name John Shibles. He passed away over the weekend. John's cars ranged from a Duesenberg which he showed at Pebble Beach a few years back to a 1947 Ford Woody and everything in between. He will be missed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemi Joel Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Oh no, that's awful! I met John and his wife Jill at the 2022 CCCA National meet. They invited me to join them at dinner, and introduced me to a bunch of people. He was so kind and generous and very modest about his amazing collection. My condolences to his family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 A great fellow , genuine enthusiast and one who listened to you when you talked . It was always a pleasure to see and speak with him. His collection was amazing, and he loved every one of his cars. God Speed John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary W Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 John was a class act. Always friendly, down to earth and truly a gentleman in every sense of the word. For those of us lucky enough to live here in Monmouth County, NJ, a trip to John's "Backdoor Garage" was the thrill of the year. I say garage. This place put many museums to shame! On top of the awesome cars, the amazing decor and the over-the-top hospitality from John and Jill, it was a "never-miss" trip! I took my sons to see the cars a couple years ago. Allow me to share some photos. You'll see in an instant why we looked forward to our yearly visit! John... The ultimate host! In his garage hosting our local club. The wall decor was like an old street. Club members checking out all the cars "Abraham"...... His Lincoln. They all had great names! His Duesy. Stunning Here is the Duesenberg at a local fund raising event held on the grounds of another club member. The car had a crowd all day. No words needed. My deepest condolences to the family. John will be sorely missed. Gary 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
