| There is a collection of ex-farm pickups. This is the chassis of an old 1914 Mack 'Bulldog' truck showing a chain final drive and solid rubber tyres. It is probably the oldest truck in the collection. They were made until 1938. The 4 cylinder engine produced 50hp which was a lot for those days. |  |
 |
This is a mecca for car enthusiasts but much of the detail is lost on me.
This is a row of Buicks. |
| This is a 1941 Buick
Roadmaster. Buick eventually became part of General Motors. These were
expensive cars costing $2000 when new. |  |
 |
A 1959 Oldsmobile Super 88 with a V8 engine. By now cars are costing $3500. |
| This is a 1947 Pontiac
Torpedo Coupe. |  |
 |
A 1948 Chrysler Town and Country originally bought in Colorado. |
| Another station wagon -
this 1949 Plymouth Surburban was originally owned in Iowa. |  |
 |
Change of make and back in time - a 4 cylinder 1927 Dodge Sedan. |
| One of the newest cars
is this 1975 Chevrolet Caprice convertible with power steering, power
brakes and a twin-barrelled carburettor. It has 161000 miles on the clock. |  |
 |
This is a 1955 Packard Clipper Custom with an 'improved Ultramatic
Transmission' and 'Torsion Level Suspension'. Less than 7000 were produced at
a price of $3076. |
| A 1929 Marmon Roosevelt
more commonly known as a 'Bootleggers' Special' It was the first 8 cylinder
car to sell for under $1000. |  |
 |
This is a 1924 Overland and was one of the best selling cars of the 1920s
with 196000 being sold in 1923. The company eventually became Jeep. |
| There are motorcycles
too, This is an early 4 cylinder Indian. |  |
 |
All the cars are housed in two storey sheds. This gives some idea of the
size. I think there are five sheds of cars, with vehicles on two storeys. |
| A 1957 Mercury Phaeton.
There were dozens of manufacturers in the first half of the 20th century. |  |
 |
This is a 1956 Ford Fairlane Victoria with a V8 engine. It weighed 3400lbs
and was considered a luxury car. This one has only 68000 miles on the clock. |
| It does snow in Nebraska
so there is a collection of snowmobiles. |  |
 |
Including this adaptation. |
| There are one or two
iconic English cars like this Austin Healey. |  |
 |
There is very little military equipment in the museum but Willy's jeep was
just too ubiquitous. |
| Another early Indian
motor cycle dating from 1906 - or should it be classed as a moped? |  |
 |
Even earlier are these Penny Farthings but goodness knows where they rode
them. |
| We spent all day at the
museum but it was really too short. They do allow you in the next day for
free but we had to move on. This is one of many 'biscuit' ornaments in an
extensive collection. |  |
 |
Back in the main building we just had time to catch a few of the earliest
cars. Here we have electric, steam and gasoline powered vehicles from around
1915. |
| A final oddity was this
'ladies' urinal. What more can I say.... |  |
