Places to visit for gear heads and car nuts!

There are so many places to visit in this country from museums, to road side attractions, shows & events, to enjoy seeing uniques cars and enjoying our hobby/business. I think it would be fun to list some of them. As we get more members in this group, please add your suggestions and I will collect them for a list on our blogs.  I can start by adding the George Bugg Collection in Athens. Probably the only way to get in is when there is a group or club setting up an appointment.

A Bite of the Market -Collector Car Trends for the Next Six Months by Mike Thies

As I am appraising vehicles, many folks ask me what the future holds. I tell here what I tell them. So often I am too close to the "real metal" to have much of a crystal ball and it's not my strength, anyway. However, when I stand back and do the research, sometimes a cloudy picture does come through. It seems to me that the last…
