A few pics from my recent trip to Lansing

 

 

 

Pretty cool museum..been two years since I was there

 

Great museum.
I often wonder about the display engines. That mid 60s bronze big block in particular…. Is that one of the original engines they took promo photos of?
There’s very few factory markings on it if any. Was it a real engine cut up for display? or a fiberglass mold?

 

I was there in 1987, I don't remember any of this. Guess I need to go back.

 

Turning real engines into cutaways is a highly specialized skill set and there are vendors who do only that. Knowing where to cut to highlight the interior pieces requires intimate knowledge of how the internals fit together. I'm always impressed when they are done well. And yeah, it's a real engine that was cut up.

 

I think I'm the only guy that looks at the end effectors and chunks of power and free chain holding some of the blocks up.

 

Nice pictures, any info on the gold 66 442 > is this a real w-30 car ???? looks like it could be ! very rare. I did not think I could blow that PLAQUE up, but I did. Do you know if thats for sale ??? I could not read all of it.

 

I believe my picture of it say's it's #18 of 54?

 

how cool is that !!! Thanks for update pic with the hood open. Looks like its got some fat tires on the back

 

Great pictures. I absolutely love that Oldsmobile Park neon sign they have there.

 

Always a treat to see what’s new. A great display of history and fantastic/diligent staff.
