National Automotive and Truck Museum of the United States (NATMUS)

Here is another great visit in Indiana...The National Automotive and Truck Museum of the United States (NATMUS) opened in 1994 and currently occupies the service and parts department building at the Cord L-29 building. These are two of the few remaining factory production buildings of the company. There you will see exhibits including trucks, cars, and transportation-related models and toys.

You may contact the museum during regular business hours of 9am to 5pm any day of the week, by calling them at 260.925.9100. You could also visit their web site at: http://www.natmus.org/index.html

Here are some images that I took while I was there...

1969 Camaro Z-28

1970 Buick GS

Even though I'm not a Chrysler person I have to say that the Hemi motors are some of the most beautiful motors ever built.

I would love to hear from anyone that knows the history of this Charger...

Shelby details...

Shelby interior

Essex Grand Prix 427 Shelby Cobra

Hell Drivers Racer

Is this a work of art or what... Asides from the engineering team I bet there was also a design team that but these Duesenberg motors together. This motor is a straight 420 cu. in. eight cylinder model J motor.
