The two records, which were officially registered in the name of Lebanon, are for the world’s largest collection of model cars (37,777) and the world’s largest collection of dioramas (577) – all of which are located in Billy’s museum inside the Karam Bois factory.
Guinness World Records Middle East representative Talal Omar handed the two certificates to Billy in front of a large crowd of officials, media personnel, friends, family and enthusiasts.
Prior to receiving the certificates, Billy thanked his family for their continuous support and said that his museum is a message of peace to the public and a reminder to everyone to drive safely and responsibly.
It is worth mentioning that Billy received two similar certificates back in 2011 when he held the same world records: 27,777 model cars and 333 dioramas. Over the past 4 years, he added 10,000 model cars and 244 dioramas to his collection.
