- Of course, one of the most famous antique car collections is the Wm. Harrah
- collection, housed in Reno. though I have heard that it has been sold off
- in bits and pieces, in recent years, there is still quite a selection.
-
- Another nice one that has recently opened is the Blackhawk Museum in the
- East Bay (that's the San Francisco Bay, for all you non-California types).
- It's in a gated community called Blackhawk, so named because the developer
- has a love of classic cars including (natch) the Stutz. It's supposed to be
- a very nice place. I was most annoyed to discover that my parents had gone
- without me. :(
-
- I have crossposted to rec.autos.antique because i have the feeling this
- group may soon be departing the scene.
