- On the back side of Mt.Desert Is. off Maine is a warehouse. We saw an old
- Model T flatbed in the weeds, so we knocked onthe door. For $3 they let us in.
- It was a private museum filled with old Fords, Hispano Suizas (sp), a Stutz,
- motorcycles, &c. Maybe 200-300 cars. This was in the early 1970's.

- Cleveland, Ohio has the Thompson Auto museum (part of the Western Reserve
- Historical Society). Very nice.
-
- Also, just outside of Cleveland is a fellow named Brice who has three buildings
- on his property filled with everything from Huppmobiles to Isettas, motor
- scooters to wagons. He calls it the Motorpool and will tell you all the
- stories. He also has a great quantity of original literature which he will
- photo copy for you at cost.
