Up Close at the California Automobile Museum

The California Automobile Museum in Sacramento is a photographers challenge. They have beautiful autos, but they are behind ropes which makes it difficult to photograph. Whenever I go there, I tend to pick out a part of the car to photograph. We haven’t been there in years and the cars in the museum have changed. There’s always something new to see. This time my friend Ray and I checked it out.

I was concentrating at photographing the hood ornaments. We don’t have them any more!

I like the pieces of the old, old, old cars; (Okay I don’t know the years, probably 1920 on.) much older than me. I liked where they put the headlights, steering wheels and foot pedals.

They also had a few old race cars.

These two are from the 1950s. I remember the Chevy but not the Ford convertible. Do you?

It’s amazing how car design has changed. Take time to go down memory lane at an auto museum near you.
