Please join us in welcoming Charlie Baur, an avid race car driver, to the Stahls Motors and Music Racing Team!

Charlie is in his first year of college at Northwood University. He is also a first generation race car driver in his family.

A true car enthusiast, Charlie will be unveiling his 2025 winged pavement sprint car, which he tore down to the frame and rebuilt over the winter with a brand new look.

Charlie’s enthusiasm and knowledge of the car world is unbelievable. He says ”I learn new things daily”.  Charlie, along with his sprint car will be at the Charity Spring Open House hosted by the Lingenfelter Collection on Saturday May 3rd benefitting the American Cancer Society.

Charlie is there because he cares about people and wants to support a worthy cause.

We are sure there is someone you know who has been battling this terrible disease.

Please come out and support Charlie and the Lingenfelter family break a record to help find a cure for cancer.

The event will be held at the Lingenfelter Collection 7819 Lochlin Drive, Brighton, Michigan 48116 and runs from 10:00-5:00.

We are proud of Charlie and his big heart for supporting multiple fundraising events.

Our Reviews

Today (12/14/2022) was the 1st time my wife and I were able to visit the Stahls Collection, and we must say we were already blown away by the fantastic assembly of mechanical instruments in just the entry room. Then when the cars took over, whatever room left in the brain to fill it with fantastic automobilia was overloaded with superb examples across the range from 1900 to the 1970’s THREE Thumbs Up! Brian B.

I shared the Stahls experience with a lifelong friend and super knowledgeable car guy, Jim Kilroy. We had an amazing experience and the staff of volunteers educated us on so many things, we were in shock. We cannot wait to visit once again. Thank You to the amazing people on hand to help enhance our first visit.
