A look back at a few Virginia Museums, some are gone forever!
Luray Caverns has a car museum? Yes and they let me in for free to check it out!
It is arranged by the era and has some great cars in it after you check out the carriages!
You might not know some of these autos!
Designed and built for Edsel Ford, Henry's son.
ROARING 20'S ANTIQUES AND CAR MUSEUM IN HOOD VA. HAS BEEN CLOSED FOR YEARS NOW
His daughter was keeping it going after her dads death, but eventually auctioned it all off
Collections of everything on a gravel floor in spots, one mans passion!
A NY built Playboy, the story is the car was around before the magazine, the magazine lettering font is actually on the engine and one of Hugh Hefners friend's mom worked at the short lived car company and the PLAYBOY empire was born!
A one off prototype, the first mini van? I had reached out to her after I left to see if it might be for sale, it did sell at auction for $30,000
As you may guess although a low buck operation her dad knew what cars were unusual and worth collecting
WOOD BROTHERS RACING MUSEUM STUART VIRGINIA
