Darn. I wish I'd been a little quicker with the editing and all so you could see at least a couple tonight, PRO. Oh well, they'll be here when you get a chance to check in tomorrow.

I mostly got pix of displays in cases today but got a couple here and there of vehicles. This Jeep ambulance is a new item, just brought in last weekend.

I was told that only 1,800 of these were made and once they weren't using them any more, many were destroyed and it really isn't known how many still exist. The museum owns two of them. The other hasn't been restored as nicely as this one yet.

I've taken a shot of this before but don't know if I posted it. The mannequin wasn't in the seat in the first pic so it doesn't matter. LOL! They're slowly "fleshing out" some of the displays and it makes them a little more interesting.

Wow! What a rare find that is and the restoration is amazingly good! Those guys really know what they’re doing.

Hope you had good weather for the trek there and for the visit with History Channel. Were there many visitors are was it closed to the public?

It was pretty hot here....but it’s all relative. 97 isn’t 107. LOL!
