Last time we looked at Auburns, Cords, and Duesenbergs. This time, we’ll go through cars at the museum which aren’t Auburns, Cords, and Duesenbergs.
Did you know a lot of cars used to be made in Indiana?Charles H. Black made this car after driving his neighbor’s Benz. He completed it sometime between 1891 and 1894.1899 Waverley Stanhope Phaeton. This is the earliest known example of the Indiana Bicycle Company’s electric powered Stanhope Phaeton.1908 McIntyre Model M.1909 Zimmerman Model H Runabout.1909 Mitchell Model K Touring CarA view of the inside of the 1909 Mitchell1909 McIntyre Model 251. This is the only known surviving example of this type of light duty vehicle from McIntyre.1911 Metallurgique. This car was featured in the 1965 movie “The Great Race”.1911 Izzer Roadster. This was a custom-built car made by the Model Automobile Company in Peru, Indiana.1919 Locomobile Model 48. The company started by making steam cars, and transitioned to gasoline cars in 1904.1926 Cunningham Sport Touring1929 Lincoln Model L Brougham. This car passed through several different hands, but was never driven much. It was donated to the museum in 1972 with only 12,000 miles on it.1948 Lincoln Continental Coupe. This car marks the end of V-12 production in the United States.In front is a 1963 Jaguar E-type. The red car in back is a 1951 Jaguar XK120.1979 Beuhrig Coupe. This is the last car Gordon Beuhrig designed. The plan was to make 50 cars, but only four prototypes were produced. This is the first prototype.
That’s all for this installment. In the next installment, we’ll go next door into the National Auto & Truck Museum.
I like brass cans and I can not lie
You other brothers can’t deny
That when a car goes by with a big long hood
And round lights in your face
You get sprung, wanna pull up tough
‘Cause you notice that engine bay was stuffed
Deep in the oxblood leather it’s wearing
I’m hooked and I can’t stop staring…

By the way, in Reno there is an awesome car museum, the National Automobile Museum https://automuseum.org/
America’s Automotive Trust and LeMay – America’s Car Museum acknowledge that we are situated on the traditional lands of the Puyallup People. We gratefully honor and respect their stewardship of this land throughout the generations. We recognize that this land acknowledgement is one small step toward true allyship, and we commit to uplifting the voices, experiences, and histories of the Indigenous people of this land.

You’ll be like me: Park far away from anyone else.
I was going to joke that if you owned one you’d just send your servant to Wallmart, but looked on bring a trailer and they are surprisingly reasonably priced, going for 12 to 30 grand.
I’m aware. Not really sure why beyond the fact that I post cheesecake and once engaged in an intellectual exercise about how women’s suffrage affected the political landscape (spoiler: my conclusion was that people in general are stupid and as a result democracy is stupid; basically a rehash of Mencken). Apparently that makes me an irredeemable misogynist and emblematic of what a cesspool of woman-hating Glibs has become. Or something.
TL;DR – The Left’s “comedians” all suck and no one watches them anymore. That makes The Cathedral very nervous so here is an impenetrable tome that trots out all the same tired tropes about how the right are stupid and that’s why their comedians are dominating new media (an argument that makes no sense whatsoever, but whatevs).

On a very basic level, the two sides seem to disagree on the question of what a joke should look like, what it’s okay to joke about, and what is so under threat that to joke about it would be unthinkable.
Younger conservatives these days are far more likely to be the ones telling you that it’s okay to joke about anything and that it isn’t unthinkable to laugh at anything. That transition took place under your Obama when you guys were too busy accusing anyone of mocking the left of being racist. In order to defend one politician with a tiny bit of melanin to the death, the left found it important to completely turn on free speech and humor.

This year the Atlantic called Gutfeld! “where comedy goes to die,” and found the show’s comedic perspective so bizarre that it could only attribute the show’s ratings to a sense that Trump’s presidency “introduced into the culture a tremendous uncertainty about what was actually funny.”
Gutfeld! has good ratings because conservatives only think it’s funny even though it’s really not.

I’ve been sick for a few days (started with a sore throat and cough) and thought I was getting better, but Tuesday I started sneezing and have a runny nose. No fever, but I do have muscle aches.
I took one of those at-home Covid tests that I got by US mail, and sure enough, I have the Vid. So much for going back to work on Thursday; looks like I will be working from home.
Fortunately, I have a nebulizer and plenty of solution for it in case my blood oxygen drops too much. Still it’s a pain in the neck. So much for the vaccine, which I was required to get for work. Oddly, the actual Covid is milder than my reaction to the 2nd J&J shot. I imagine I have the mild Omicron strain that is very contagious but generally not serious.

Beautiful cars loaded with character.
Yes they are.
The third part has some more mundane cars. The third part is now in the scheduling queue.
Great series!
Curious what the machine is to the left of the President’s desk from Part One. Is it some type of early dictaphone?
The Locomobile is my favorite. I am a big fan of long hood sedans. What a beast!
That is a beauty isn’t it?
I’d really like that Lincoln V-12 though.
For me, the Cunningham coupe would be next. I do see those Lincolns pop up on Hemmings sometimes.
Yes to both.
I might be touching myself, perhaps inappropriately.
I thought you were into bears?
Not exclusively. The long hood, the 8+ cylinder engine, resonates with me…
And don’t get me started on the tufted leather upholstery, or the Jags with the dual Stromberg carbs.
Leather?…

Is the little Izzer Roadster actually a one-seater, or does it just look narrow in the pic?
Beautiful cars. The Petersen Museum here only has a few early ones display at any given time so it’s great to see a wider selection.
I didn’t take a picture of the inside of the Izzer. If I remember correctly, it is narrow.

If I owned one, I would not go anywhere near Walmart with it. If I had to go to walmart, I’d find another means of transportation.
No reason to risk the car.
Of course. I was just thinking how much of a pain it would be to navigate a vehicle like that in modern parking lots.
I was going to joke that if you owned one you’d just send your servant to Wallmart, but looked on bring a trailer and they are surprisingly reasonably priced, going for 12 to 30 grand.
