Tour of Martin's Auto Museum & Lunch
Yesterday, Friday June 4th we had our scheduled trip to the Martin Automotive Museum. Thanks to our members, we were able once again to have a fairly large size group of 22 attend this event. After having our normal Friday Morning Breakfast, we all proceeded down Bell Road to the Museum. Breakfast ended early so we arrived about a half hour earlier than we had planned. This was our club's first-time visiting Martin Auto Museum at its new location and found it to be a large, nice, modern, clean facility. If you're into cars and automotive memorabilia at all, this is definitely your kind of place.They have museum hosts that cruise up and down the aisle on scooters answering questions and also hi-lighting details on all the cars. The museum has over 160 vehicles on display ranging from an autographed Carroll Shelby Cobra with 6 miles on it valued at over $2 million, and a Duesenberg that they have insured at $4 million dollars. Everything from Antique autos, factory stock autos, street rods, trucks, muscle cars, woodies, race cars, etc.After spending a few hours there and realizing that it had been about 2-3 hours since we had breakfast, we went to lunch. I have to apologize to the 18 people that went to lunch as we arrived an hour earlier than the restaurant was expecting us and they were short staffed. In my defense, I did call the restaurant 40 minutes before we left the museum telling them that we would be early and they said No Problem, come on down. All in all, it was a great day and I hope everyone enjoyed it.Thanks,JimPhotos taken by John Seeger
