    National Automobile Museum

    My family and I visited National Automobile Museum in Reno,NV today and it was great.

    Roughly 200 vehicles from 1890`s to 1970`s we spend about 4 hours total including 25 minute video.

    I took several photos and I want to share 2 with everyone.

    One is of car products in their repair facilities and one of a beautiful 1921 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost with copper body sticker price in 1921 10,900

    If you ever find yourself in Reno,NV you need to plan to visit.

    Re: National Automobile Museum

    Is this the museum that bought a lot of Bill Harrah's car collection?

    I spent a couple of days waling through about twenty building way back in the 70's

    I have never seen so many strange, one of a kind cars, boats, motorcycles, and airplanes. Over 1400 of them.

    It's a shame that his family could not keep the collection together after his death.

    Yes oldmodman it is what is left of Bill Harrah`s collection. He passed at age 66 in 1978 and had not made any arrangements for his 1400 plus one of a kind car collection.

    Holiday Inn bought his hotel and gaming assets and they sold by auction over a 1000 of his collection.

    You are so lucky to have seen it all, sure wish I could have seen it.

    Do you remember seeing his Jerrari? Jeep Wagoneer with 12 cylinder Ferrari engine.
