Family day trip

[pagrunt]

Did a interestion day trip with the family out to a small car museum in Huntingdon, Pa today on a whim after the wife said what the hell on Friday. It was more of antique cars but it was a fun day there looking at them & the license plate & car emblem collection. Cool to see the prototype Tucker, a Herbie that was in the original movie, a Stanley Steamer, & a Olds Curve Dash with a functioning mini salesman model with a single cylinder motor (the Jr. Mechanic said it was the right size for him to drive.) I wanted to stop in last week on the way back from Hershy Park but took the north route back to change up the scenery.

Here's some more pics. They have a 1914 Cadillac cut away engine that I thought was cool. There were two electrics (1 of 2 1908 Studebaker wagons made for the US senate & a 1912 Detroit Electric), a 1911 Sears sold out of the old catalog. We are looking at trying another trip to Hershey in Aug to check out the AACA museum that's right next to the park.
