This month I took a road trip to Bonneville for Speed Week, a life-long dream. On the way there and back, I stopped at a few museums, took lots of photographs and saw lots of cars, parts, memorabilia and more, including show rods 
The Museum of American Speed in Lincoln, Nebraska has lots of race stuff and last year took possession of Darryl Starbird's museum including all his cars and other bits. They have a showcase full of Darryl's things which include two models that I built and gave to Darryl many years ago. They also have a floor full of pedal cars, diecast cars and tin toys, a few thousand.

The National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky has the history of Corvette and a special feature of cars from Carl Casper.

If you have never been to either museum and you get the chance, go, you will be happy you did

For my part, I'll view most of them in the evening when the misses abandons me for her latest murder mystery book.
