Tucson Auto Museum

I finally got up to the Tucson Auto Museum today, after missing the visit with the camera club last month due to my bout with COVID.
It was great. I mentioned to the cashier that I was disappointed because the camera club visit was supposed to be with chains removed for clear access of photos. She said just ask any docent. They were great – all knowledgeable car buffs and happy to help.

Photos are here:

Neat pics. They certainly seem to lean more to the unique/unusual than most motor museums..

Yeah. Never thought I'd see a Muntz in person. Also the Amphicar cross-references with my interest in the '64-'65 New York World's Fair, where they were giving rides on Meadow Lake.

I see, you did not bother the docents much.

They were busy with other visitors too; I asked in the cases where the chains really annoyed me.

I'd also point out that this photo session falls in the "documentary" side of my photography, rather than the "artistic" side. It's meant to be decent pics for car buffs, not mainly artsy stuff for photography buffs.

Wow, some VERY cool cars in that museum!
Thank you for taking and sharing all those pictures with us!

In the Petersen Automotive Museum, some cars are shown without chains. Here is the Microdot. I actually prefer the look of the Minissima. Both look much better than the atrocious Zagato Zele 1000.
