California Automobile Museum....Part one-ish..

A nice young gentleman in the Mcdonald's  I'm at has told me they are enforcing a new "half-hour policy" in the store....hmmmmmmmmm....so I'm probably going to make this a two part post. All the "lap-toppers" in the store are a bit miffed at the moment. Probably a new manager, who doesn't really under stand how commerce works....

So here is part one:
Hadn't been by this museum for awhile, and seeing the Model T at "Gorgeous Biker Chick's" last posting , made me think why not? Was hoping for more bikes, but evidently most that had been there were owned by one man who'd  removed them from display. There were several old bicycles and a few motorcycles left.
                                       A 1941 Boys Schwinn and a 1946 Girls Schwinn bicycle

                                                           A 1950 Roadmaster bicycle

                                                       A home built electric two-wheeler

A CHP Kawa  from the TV show "Chip's"

An electric Chopper bike


A 1953 Vincent Comet 500

!937 Indian Dirt track racer




An amphicar...a car that's a boat, or is it a boat that's a car?




That's it for now, be back with some Model T's and others.....



Back, and it's ,
time to add some old Fords and others....

Before there were car repair facilities, it was good to know a good smith...

1907 Ford Model K 6-40 Roadster
1906 Ford Model K Touring Car
1908 Ford Model T Touring Car
1904 Ford Model B Touring

1921 Ford Model T Snowmobile
Saw something similar in a blog out of Scotland I believe, can't remember which one at the moment...
1917 Ford Model T "Form A Truck" conversion
1926 Austin "Chummy" Roadster
I can picture a trailer behind this car with a Cub and a Terrier loaded up...
1932 Ford "Hardtop" Dirt track racer, raced in 1955-56 by A.J.Foyt
My parents saw this car race down in Riverside California.
1927 Model T Ford "XXO" Gas Modified Roadster class

If you look closely, you can see some aspect of a 1927 Ford in there...
This car is going for a 175 MPH record.

This is probably a good place to end "Part one" of the look at the California Automobile Museum. I'll have some pics of the Alternative fuel vehicles section, as well as more old cars and not so old cars.
