America On Wheels picture thread.
Well I went to the America on Wheels museum in Allentown Pa. Right now thru april 30th 2009 they have an exhibition of Openwheel race cars. There is even an Oldsmobile Stock car. The first pics are of my Custom Cruiser parked next to a SmartCar.

Thanks for the pix. I bet that was a fun trip. I really dig vintage things...like old race cars 
Liked the ingenuity behind the design of the chess pieces.
I'm allways surprised by things like the scale glow engine cars. Its amazing the examples have survived this long and put on display. Those things wern't cheap in their day....and they were only toys!! Heck, that hobbie is'nt cheap in todays world.
Thanks for sharing.
