We arrived all in one rubber banding caravan. That goodness the SCA Caravan had maps and all of us knew exactly how to get there. The lights on 41 were brutal to our group's integrity.



George & Tom talked about the route.



Liz gets in the very first automobile and the oldest corvette known to man!



Wow! What don't they have here!



Phillip was our tour guide again this trip. Gosh, he's just incredibly knowledgeable and so willing to share his intelligence.
Thank you Phillip!

Wow, that's John Lennon's infamous psychedelic ride, man! Wow, now that's a real trip!



 



Got speed?



One of the museum's very first exhibits, some 53 years ago. Left the museum for a few years and a couple different owners. But, eventually came back.



 



Tire production in the early days.



Now, time for the elite rides for sale next door in the classic show room.



Gosh, now that's some bullets! Whoa!



Stainless roof ...
