Visit to San Diego Automotive Museum

After having walked in a number of trails on Southern California coast with stunning views of the mighty Pacific Ocean ( largest ocean on this planet ), I went to the Balboa park in San Diego and the park is with full of activities as today is sunday. Interestingly, I saw an automotive museum in the park. Unlike the museums of Washington DC, this museum is small but the cars exhibited belong to the era of my childhood dream cars. When I was standing in queue for the ticket, she asked if I am a senior ( 60 + years ) by seeing my grey hair and gave a discount.

Re: Visit to San Diego Automotive Museum

Good collection. IMO, Auto Museums are delight to the eyes of Visitors. However Photographs do no justice to the beautiful displays. Congested space, chain fence and Information placards around the display restrict the desired view the Visitor wants to cherish and share the memoirs.
