Another Day at the Museum

Well, I had another holiday with un-bicycle like weather It was so cold, I had frost on the inside

A photo for my auto journalism career

And after a few laps of crossgates, I was off to Norwich, NY and the Northeast Classic Car Museum. Here's a 1941 Buick SUV:

One of the nice things they did was have various mannequins in period clothing:

There's almost too many cars to cover in a short blog post. They have the largest collection of Franklins, a car made in Syracuse

You can sit in this one:

A 1958 Packard with four(!) tailfins

Another Playboy

and a camper made in Norwich as well

A wonderful day in a small town in winter. A little out of the way, but worth it.

A Day at the Museum

I went to the prayer table as usual:



and then I went up to Saratoga Springs and took in the auto museum. Despite it  being an auto museum, there is a horse in front(this is Saratoga)



Yep, it's a car museum:


And Elvis was there, of course!



The second floor is the better , as it focuses on cars with New York connection. This a Playboy, a car that was briefly made in Buffalo, and lent its name to a magazine:



Watkins Glen



FDR's ford:



Charles Lindbergh's Franklin, made in Syracuse.



and the most famous New York car, The Piece Arrow from Buffalo:

and since I'm back on the revolutionary war beat, I stopped at the Battlefield:
