Old cars. Back in the 80's Bill Harrah (casinos Vegas, Reno) still had his old car museum, close if not best in the world, Didn't charge but peanuts to see it all. Then he died and the kids, thankful for inheritance, announced ready to sell. I remember an expert stood up high platform with megaphone describing anything about the cars when anyone asked. Lo tech presentation. Somehow a lot of it was saved and is still a decent exhibit. Public now. The Grand Old "Harrah's Car Collection" I remember the old Harrah's Car Collection [1400 Autos] as being several large Warehouses out in Sparks, NV that I visited in the 1960s and 1970s; back then it could be an all day event do a morning walk-a-round and having lunch and do an afternoon walk-a-round; we was slow walkers and long-lookers with Cameras in hand. - - - d r e a m s - - - ~ RHF Now what's left of the grand old Harrah's Car Collection of about 200 Autos is call the "National Automobile Museum" http://www.automuseum.org/ and is located in the Downtown Reno proper. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Automobile_Museum Seems like the Son of a 'Little Old Lady form Pasadena' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_F._Harrah Loved his Cars - varoom . . . ~ RHF |
