Branson Auto Museum Post #1

Well, after we left the Dick Clark Museum, we drove on down the strip to a place called the Branson Auto Museum. This place was a glorified used classic car dealer, and unfortunately also had an admission fee, but with close to 100 cars and a more reasonable price to get in...we decided to see what was inside. The first car inside the door is this beautiful Corvette. It is being raffled by a local HS. The cost per ticket....$100.00
This Corvette was probably STILL out of MY price range, but having a 3 year old who loves his pedal cars and Corvette Powerwheel, I couldn't resist snapping a photograph of this one.
Long, lean, and black. Do you think a trunk anchor was a stock option?
I've always liked the looks of Dodge Lancers.

Most of the cars within the museum were for sale on consignment. Most cars also had a plaque giving a description of the car and the car's history. This Cadillac "El Camino" was custom built for one of my childhood heroes...Evel Knievel. The bed was designed to haul a Harley...very kool. If I remember correctly, the car was painted for Knievel by George Barris.

  1. Excellent set of pictures you took while visiting! The great thing about the Branson Auto Museum is that it is constantly changing, so you'll always see new cars when you visit. They have some beautiful rides there :-)
