This is a great place. If you're ever in Lincoln for some God forsaken reason and have some time it is worth the effort to go see it. No P-cars but so much stuff to see. From Indy cars, NASCAR, Drag racing, show cars, Sprints, Midgets, Salt Flats cars, rare old cars, engines, toy cars, pedal cars, lunch boxes, etc...etc...etc.
Never gonna make you cry...

Another good car museum is the National Automobile Museum (The Harrah's Car Collection) in Reno. Definitely worth the visit if you are in Reno. When I was there a few years ago, they had a gold plated Delorean32wildbilly wrote: ↑Mon Jul 19, 2021 4:31 am This is a great place.

Yes, it’s a fantastic museum - over 150,000 square feet of displays. By contrast, our little museum has 10,000 square feet. They hosted the National Association of Automobile Museum conference in 2013, and I got to meet Speedy Bill and his son. They have a full size indoor replica of Pit Row at Indy circa 1965.32wildbilly wrote: ↑Mon Jul 19, 2021 4:31 am This is a great place.

Another out of the way museum that’s worth the trip is the Gilmore Museum just outside Kalamazoo, MI. As long as you’re in the area, though, hit the Studebaker Museum in South Bend, IN, and the incomparable Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum in Auburn, IN.

Yesterday, the Kansas City Automotive Museum held its 5th annual The Great Car Show at the National WWI Museum and Liberty Memorial in downtown KC. Great weather and a super turnout of cars and spectators. I cleaned up all 7 of the Hooptie Fleet. It was cool to have them all on display together (but a helluva lot of work detailing and transporting them).

Three of those cars are different from the others. You have 30 seconds to decide...BEGIN!

There's a sweet Triumph GT6 in dark green parked on the side of the street near my house with a "For Sale" sign in the window. Not gonna stop, not even gonna slow down.

Just checked CarMax...2019 Grand Cherokee Limited vehicles are selling for MORE than what Mrs. S. and I paid for her CPO Grand Cherokee. In 2019. At the dealership.
Nuts.
