Back to the Fifties in Minnesota was AWESOME.. and look who stopped by our booth on Friday !John Buck and some of his fellow LA Roadsters made the trip in 8 cars from So. California all the way to Minnesota ... and they had a trip to remember ... Lee lost a wheel ... another member broke an axle and then there were the Hail storms... great fun in a roadster... HA ... but they were still smiling when they got here as no one and no cars were hurt or damaged in the trip. So this will now be one great story to tell for years to come.. Great to see them

The Truck and Travel Center that houses the Museum is situated on historic West Rte. 66. Check out this unsuspecting treasure trove
