Ok, I'll warn you now, this post is gonna be mostly pics! We found a flyer for an auto museum and decided today to go. 
It was about 50 miles (80k) from here and out in the middle of nowhere. Honest! We drove down secondary roads and suddenly, in the middle of nowhere, with nothing around it, there it was. 
And it was awesome. 
The best car museum I've ever been to.
There were a few "Custom" cars, but most were original. This is the sexiest car ever built!
Some were frame-off restorations and some were completely original paint and chrome.
They had everything from the very first vehicles (Stanley Steamer above) to cars from the '80s.
Here's a Gull-wing Mercedes (Trudeau owned one of these). And for the wicker lovers - 
here's basket work to die for.
Or an old 'Vette ('56 I think).
I loved this. A fuel guage for a model T Ford. Open the gas cap, stick in the guage, pull it out and read it. The KISS principal at work!
Of course, no self-respecting museum would be complete without an Edsel.
There were also a few old Harleys.

The best car museum I've ever been to.All sorts of cars (some of them VERY rare, and lots of collectable auto stuff.
And here are some of the cars!
An old Caddie with a V-16 engine. Very smooth, very fast and very expensive.
A Tucker! They only made 51 of these cars. This is #50. Of the 51 made, 48 are still in existance!

And even an old Indian
This place was fantastic. The pics I've posted here just barely scratch the surface of what they had there. Well worth the visit and I'll probably be back as the cars are changed out occasionally. All this for $5 each! I told the guy he should be charging double.
