Getting real close to auto show time. The North American International Auto Show press days start early Monday morning so I am starting to get in the mood. See I sort of have to prepare for a very fast 2 days of maneuvering around the show floor, along with several thousand other people, trying to get to as many new car introductions by big car companies that I can. These big staged productions run for 20 minutes with everyone crowding around since seating is only for the lucky ones who get there a half hour early. I have to pick and choose which intro to attend since they only leave about 15 minutes in between. It’s a maddening shuffle of people all day long. But I keep coming back.. to see the next big new all-talked about thing.
So… at a slower pace was a visit to the Ray Skillman muscle car museum. Dad has been telling me of a nice car museum in Greenwood IN that we should go see. We went just after Thanksgiving day and all I can say is WOW! This is an awesome collection with some of the finest old classic cars I have ever seen. The thing that stuck me was the open non-barred feeling you get to move freely about the cars but of course no-touch is the unspoken code. If you look close you will see some rare cars here.
