    I love old cars and though I don't own any my wife has several .The one that she has owned the longest at 43 years and counting is her 1964 Chevy Impala 2 door sedan and her favorite by far .She has a 1968 Plymouth Fury 3 ,a Jeep ,an old Buick and VW Bug down in the woods waiting for their turn at restoration by her .When asked why she doesn't the sell the 64 Chevy ? She tells folks it is pratically new and is good for another one million miles at least .She does rotate the engines out having both a SB 283 and 327 .For kicks and giggles every now she puts a 409 and the works in it when she wants a little more horsepower and to go a little bit faster .All 3 engines sound and run amazing but that 409 is quite a beast and sounds awesome with a great set of pipes on it .

They have near 150 cars to move and no place to put them as yet ! In 1956 I worked at the Sarasota/Bradenton airport and enjoyed this place several times. Sorry to see this part of history go away.

    I just saw on the news that this Museum is facing eviction at the end of the month by the New College of Florida. The museum says the current focus is on relocation, which may cost several hundreds of thousands of dollars. As far as the some of the cars and memorabilia owned by the museum though, the museum says some of those assets will have to go to help get the wheels rolling.
    The college is going to use the land for their sports department.
