Had been meaning to post this from a few months ago. This was on the way back from the Portland Auto Swap Meet that I'd posted about earlier. Anyways, we had always wanted to stop off at this place since it's a really well known museum in Tacoma, Washington. We were able to stop off there on our way back to Alaska. It's a multi-level building, and the 1st level that you enter into always has a theme that's changed out. When we were there, it was Porsches. Amazing place and great cars. Anyways, I'll let the pics do the talking. I'll have to split this into 2 pages since there's more pics than I can upload on the first post.
The museum
The entry floor, with the Porshe exhibit. Not really into Porsches, so didn't pay too much attention to the cars in this section
As soon as we saw these two, however, we pretty much had seen the best of it all. I'm obviously biased since I have a 77 Trans-Am
Just a beautiful fast car
Another timeless classic design. This was a 76 Trans-Am, so a different nose from my 77.
AMC Javelin. Really cool and underrated cars. Very fast for the time.
Buick Riviera
1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass Hearst Special Edition
Second level as we walked down into the building
A classic everyone knows. 69 Camaro
The most beautiful car from the 30's, and in my opinion one of the most beautiful cars ever designed period. The 1937 "Coffin Nose" Cord. This one wasn't the supercharged version (yes you could get them supercharged back then). Those are pop up headlights in the fender
The Stanley Steamer, that drove on steam. Founded by twin brothers, one of whom died after an accident while test driving a new model. This particular version was released way after the original company had been sold,and was actually incredibly underpowered and underwhelming compared to the models that the company had barely a few years before. They had models that were doing well over 100 mph in the early 1900's. This technology, in my opinion, is so much better and had/has so much more potential than the electric car boondogle that I loath with a passion (anti electric car rant done).
THE CAR. Tucker 48.
The legendary "Cyclops Eye" headlight that moved with the steering wheel
Now we get into some fun stuff. De Tomaso Pantera
