I'd been here previously, but since it had been a few years it seemed like it was time for a revisit. And as my parents were in town, and they'd never been there, that was another reason to go. The majority of the vehicles here are from the 1940's through the 1960's, although there are a few older models present. There were less vehicles here than the last time, but the arrangement made it easier to see them all. I think my parents had more fun here, because they had personal memories in riding in some of the very vehicles which were present.
My favorites were always the cars which are from manufacturers no longer present, like Edsel, Desoto, and Studebaker. It seemed like on this visit, there were more General Motors and Ford cars present, and the Tucker which I'd seen before wasn't there. What was a nice surprise was a replica of the 1966 Batmobile. You couldn't get too close to it, but it was awesome to see.
Normally on these travel blogs there's a call to action to go an visit the places. Unfortunately, Dick's Classic Garage closed in December 2018, and the vast majority of the vehicles were auctioned off. Still, it was nice to have had the opportunity to see these vintage automobiles.
