No one knows - unless they've ever owned and restored one of these classics - the amount of time and expense and lifetime experience that goes into restoring a car. The museum staff and volunteers really put on a well organized show. There was talk of another one possibly. If you own a classic car please contact the Historic Brownsville Museum at 956-548-1313 or drop by at 641 E Madison St to find out how you can get involved.
Father and Son ride their Coca-Cola mini car. Big fun in a small car.

Hey Meester you dropped your sombrero
Awesome man! I missed it. Would've love to have seen those classic CJ Jeeps. What's up with Mr.Hotdog, Hotdog Man, or whatever his name is? Where did he come from?
ReplyDeleteSorry I didn't call you but you always work. The hotdog man was put there by the hotdog vender and I ordered a Vera Cruz taco that was laced with hot sauce and grilled onions yum yum.
DeleteWhat a great display the museum put on! It really takes dedication to restoring a car while keeping its integrity and history. I really love the 1930s Studebaker - it really is unique and beautiful. The shine on all of the cars is just gorgeous and really shows their authentic beauty. I hope you enjoyed the display!
