Innovative concepts, creative design, and flawless execution at Janet Cussler Car Collection

Janet Cussler Car Collection, managed by SPEV is an event venue devoted to the conservancy of astonishing rare and classic automobiles from around the world. The extensive collection has over 40 momentous automobiles and was started by renowned bestselling author Clive Cussler and his wife, Janet Cussler. To paraphrase Charles Dickens in A Tale of Two Cities, “It was the best of times, and sometimes it was the worst of times.” A live jazz band will really let guests get into the swing of things; the 1920s were, after all, known as the Jazz Age. Out of all the event ideas inspired by the 1920s, this is just the thing for music lovers.


There’s nothing more Gatsby than a pyramid of champagne glasses filled and flowing with bubbly.

There is absolutely nothing more celebratory than serving Champagne from a Champagne tower – that is, unless you also plan to saber the bottles of Champagne before raining the delicious liquid down into the glasses. The glamour of the 1920s; was coupe champagne glasses, flapper dresses, and swanky parties. As an anonymous Tribune reporter observed, “The New Year’s Eve celebration is the oldest known to man. The grape was part of it long before the days of the Roman Saturnalia.”1 Once Prohibition hit, however, things changed for the worse.

Janet Cussler Car Collection consider these cars works of art and hopes they are seen that way by others.

The collection is quite diverse at Janet Cussler Car Collection, so whether you are enthusiastic about the muscle cars of your younger days, have captivation with the artistic and power-driven personalities of antique autos, or grasp the historical progress of the automobile and its impact on American culture, a visit to Janet Cussler Car Collection is a must.

Janet met Clive Cussler in August of 2005 and married in 2008. They made their permanent residence in Paradise Valley, AZ. A noted collector of classic automobiles, Clive owned over 150 of examples of pre-war and 50’s convertibles. The collection now owned by his children is housed in the Cussler Museum in Arada, Colorado.

​Being in Arizona full time Janet and Clive thought it would be fun to have a couple of drivers for around town. Although he already had his 1954 Jaguar 120 XK, a 1930 boattail Packard soon caught their attention.

With Christmas around the corner, Janet gave Clive a 1931 Ford Model A (he was born in 1931). Drawing on his hot rod youth, the Ford was modified with racing carborators and would be seen easily cruising the highways at 65 mph. The next year Clive returned the favor and gave Janet a 1955 MG TF1500 in her favorite color, red. One owner and all original, she still enjoys driving it in the perfect Arizona weather.

​Janet’s love and appreciation of antique cars as rolling pieces of classical art was soon as great as Clive’s. They were always looking forward to the next car auction and networking with friends hunting for another favorite Brass Era or pre-war classic.

When Clive surprised Janet with a 1917 Ahrens Fox fire engine for her birthday, the need for warehouse space became apparent and the Janet Cussler Car Collection began. Today, the collection of over 40 cars, two airplanes and one firetruck are on display in four warehouse spaces.

Champagne, Prohibition, and Timeless Elegance

Few things embody celebration quite like a Champagne tower, cascading with bubbly in a dazzling display of luxury. Add the dramatic flair of sabering bottles, and you’ve created a moment straight out of the roaring 1920s—a time synonymous with coupe glasses, flapper dresses, and extravagant parties. The glamour of Champagne dates back even further. As one Tribune reporter noted, “The New Year’s Eve celebration is the oldest known to man. The grape was part of it long before the days of the Roman Saturnalia.” This long-standing connection between Champagne and celebration solidified its place as the drink of choice for momentous occasions.

The Champagne Tower has Returned

Prohibition, however, brought a temporary end to the Champagne-fueled revelry. The 1920s saw the rise of speakeasies and underground parties where bubbly flowed in defiance of the law. Despite these challenges, Champagne remained a symbol of opulence, creativity, and rebellion. Today, the Champagne Tower has returned as a centerpiece for weddings, corporate events, and milestone celebrations. It brings a touch of Gatsby-era elegance to modern gatherings, making every event feel extraordinary. Whether you’re hosting a party inspired by the Prohibition era or simply looking to create a memorable moment, Champagne towers are timeless symbols of festivity and sophistication.
