Interesting collection of vehicles. Thanks for sharing.
The Cushman Autoglide and the Tetra 97 are most interesting. Did you get a picture of the info plaque for the Tetra 97?

I think so. I shot two sets of pix of the place, probably some 800 pix. The second visit I took a tripod and shot better images. The two sets are mainly identical, but I know each has images the other doesn't. I'll have to look.

ok, Thanks Fred. No rush though. This is not urgent. From your pictures it looked like an interesting car and I wondered what was written on the card

I noticed that too, but I thought they were selling only 80 or so out of 100+. Are the ones indoors on display exempt from the fire-sale? Clearly most of the collection lives somewhere other than in the nice displays...
