day #3 - state #6!

we'll start off with something cool , still in Colorado!

the shower in our motel 6

it worked very nicely!


this morning, we headed of to a car museum:

clive cussler is a famous author.

he happens to be a lover of cars too!!!

the other day, he sent my dad email asking why his museum wasn't
in his museum section of vft.org , so we came to check it out!

and boy was it a surprise!!!

here's just a few of my pics:

no, that's not my dad in a bathtub motorboat!

a Tatara, chek mob.el
one of the coolest cars there, IMHO. :-)
you now how I like small cars

a 1913 2 tone green cadillac sports phaeton!

crazy packard hood ornament
(the car was just as cool)

the red car is an allard.
(I think it had an american v8 engine)

pops with his first car!!!
a 46 ford coupe

seriously!
an 2 ton purple 1933 lincoln xb series v12

taking a wizz in the urinal

blower bentley!!!

look at the supercharger on this thing, hanging out the front!!!

next is the ugliest car there:

really, this 58 buick was just gross!

all in all, this was one of the most amazing car
museums either of us had ever seen.
it was full of lots of cars that weren't just beautiful,
but were milestone cars.
there was a whole line of amazing duesenbergs.
nuff said.

----------------------

next, it's on to kansas.

A quick pic on the road, lots of moving tanks/hummers/apc west:

we stopped at a bp after my nap and I saved another kid:

I think his name is rurrby, but I can't quite memeber cuz I'd just woken up.

92 miles later, we stopped of in a small town to check it out
and found an old school A&W drive in!

Sure the have sonics here, but they aren't anything compared to the OG!

a yeller hummer in a small town with brick roads!

the main street in this town..and check out the water tank!

In case you can't read it, it sez 'HOME OF BOB DOLE'!

maybe that's his hummer, or he just likes to get them.

another museum...oil well stuff!

Dericks, the horses and other cool stuff

and on the outskirts of town, a funky miniture golf course.

last but not least, a flatbed with a band new john deer harvester and a bug!

we're now in salina and going to go to a motorcycle museum tomorrow!

brockout.
