Even though they have over 100 classic coach-built dreamboats, there’s a small number of more modern and extremely rare exotics on display, too

Ford GTs, Jaguars, ‘54 Vette, oh my!

F un stuff, I was there last month. Good way to spend a few hours, and a bit of car stuff in that area.

I take it you also visited the adjacent less formal National Automotive & Truck Museum next door.

I love the Cist alia and the C1. The C1 is the prettiest Corvette ever.

I need to go back there again. Last time I was there was with a family friend in like 2002, during the Auction. I had a great time just walking around outside the auction venue looking at the accumulated cars in the lot.

Edit: oops, didn’t make it to the Auburn Museum, but the nearby Kruse Museum.

I’ve never even heard of a Cistalia before, but that sloping hood and oval grill are amazing. I was captivated

I would have... but I was on a tight schedule (basically just passing thru Ft. Wayne for work) so... it’s on my bucket list for next time

I was at the auburn auction in 2005 that prototype GT went through at that time it went for $50,00o iirc. What a bargain
