Great. I look forward to next weeks video. Since I was very young, I have loved old cars and trucks. After my grandma's 2nd husband died, a few months later she introduced us to the man that she would eventually marry. This man, Russell Ashlee, soon became a force for good in my life. He was into old cars and owned a 1954 Mercury and a 1959 Ford Galaxy Fairlane that he would eventually give to me on my 16th birthday. I loved that 59 Ford and I loved him for everything he became to me. He didn't act as a grandfather, he treated me as a son. Thanks for sturring up great and precious memories of him. I miss him dearly as he was the one person that got me thru some truly terrible and difficult years. God Bless you folks and Happy Trails!!
Nice comments about your grandfather, that was so awesome he was also a father. On October 4th 2020 we will have a video featuring the National Truck & Auto Museum that is directly behind the Auburn Auto Museum! Hope you like that one as well.
So glad that you just say "HECK" - and you keep your TH-cam Channel very PROfessional, and really CLASSY with a perfect touch of HUMOR!!!:-D This video sure reMINDed us of our Uncle Walter who had an immaculate antique car collection:) Thanks for the great narration, Sue and Mark!!
O Mark, that is a museum tour that I will not miss! The only complaint that I have, is i need a five minute review on that beautiful red Auburn Boat Tail! Thanks SAFE TRAVELS
I have been wanting to stop at this museum for years. Because of this video, now it is a must. I am an automotive enthusiast and love seeing cars from decades past. Thanks you guys for this video. Wish I could have been there with you.
Wow! What a concept,.......especially when you see the episode in two weeks about the National Auto & Truck Museum in back of this building,.....you would have a great cast of characters.
Will do Wesley! We are going to enter CA from the south,........we don't want to risk any snowstorms this late in the season. Sneaking thru on I-40, maybe even I-10.
Thanks for your videos of the auto museums. You pointed out the little handle on the windshield wiper motor at 16:31. My dad had an old Chevrolet truck that had wiper motors that were operated from the engine vacuum system. It worked fine when travelling on level ground or going down hill, but if you were going up a hill the vacuum from the engine would decrease to the point that the windshield wipers would stop working. Then we had to use the little handle. You were blessed to have the whole museum to yourselves. We enjoyed this video and the truck museum.
We would have been too nervous because of Covid if it was too well attended. We had called before hand, and they said to come during the week. I too used the windshield wiper handle on some older trucks we had at the gas station for plowing. "Those were the days,....."
Glad you enjoyed it,........Sue is way more polished at making videos than I am. Next week is mine on Fire Safety,......then another "Sue Production" on the National Truck & Auto Museum.
Ah Mark I could tell you were in engineering heaven, what an impressive display from yesteryear. I will check it out when we go to Newmar facility down the road. Now I recall where the term "trunk" came from and I had always thought suicide doors were named in the event the car rolled down an incline and the door knocked you under the wheel. Shout out to Sue for being such a good sport to accompany you, her excitement at discovering there was a 2nd and 3rd floor was subdued LOL.
Years ago, when I was married, my husband at the time collected & restored antique and classic cars. We had Duesenbergs, many of which were SSJ’s (super charged), one Auburn and one Cord. He also had some V16 Cadillacs, Rolls Royces, Packards, etc. The Dueseys were always my favorite. The restoration could take 2 to 2 & 1/2 years and that was 8 hours a day. They were ground up restorations and the end result was exquisite. All Dueseys came with straight 8 engines in Duesenberg green. You would buy the rolling chassis and then take it to the body builder of your choice.
My husband and I visited here a few years ago ,we also visited the Studebaker museum in South Bend Indiana.both a quite unique . I love the old Cord autos. Cheerio safe travels.
If you’re a car enthusiast as I am, and in the Oxnard California area, the Mullin Museum is a must see. Side note, the building is just as impressive as the automobiles exhibits.
Thanks for the tip Adam. We will be in central CA in a month, and I have added this Museum to our travel list. I see it is temporarily closed, as expected. In two weeks Sue will have her National Auto & Truck Museum video up.
Our Journey In Myles Thank You for replying! Let’s keep the positive vibes Mullin’s will be open during your trip and thanks for sharing your journey across America. 🤙🏼
Thank you, I am sure I will enjoy your next video of the truck museum as I very much enjoy all of your videos. You guys keep it real and I love that about your channel.
Absolutely fantastic video for anybody who is a car nut it was just absolutely perfect never heard of some of them cars but wow they're better than some of them then No most of them today thank you very much for the video Florida
Glad you enjoyed it Steve. We dropped in to this Museum just to past the time of day while Newmar had our rig in to service,......had no idea it was going to be so awesome.
So glad there are people way smarter than I am, and SAVE all this OLD STUFF until it becomes cool again to display it and allow us all to go down memory lane re-experiencing it!
Very awesome! As a son of a car collector I either spent Saturday mornings in the new car dealerships or going to car shows and swap meets. The new cars lack the class and style of these automotive masterpieces! Thanks for the video!
Right on,....you can say that again! What I do appreciate now though is the reliability & safety that has evolved! Our Honda has been SUPER reliable. Heaven help the RV Industry if THEY ever decide to make an RV.
Actually as far back as the early 1900's various companies experimented. It was interesting to see that vehicle/pedestrian vehicle crash safety standards is what ended the flip up headlight design craze! That area now has to be smooth to prevent "extra injury" during a crashes.
Thanks for sharing, my wife and I love auto museums. Last summer while attending the FMCA Great Lakes are rally we visited the Gilmore auto museum, which was incredible.
Savior the excitement,..........and put it in a bottle so you have it to pour over ice during your first repair! That will make things a lot easier to accept!
@@OurJourneyInMyles our first repair under warenty will be fri our dometic fridge needs some work as it works great on propane but will not work on elec
Nice job, very interesting how we have some of these innovative ideas in our cars now as "new" features. Have you been over to Studebaker Museum in South Bend? RV Museum in Elkhart?
@Our Journey In Myles. Mark your assumption about why Suicide doors are refered to as such is completely wrong. The reason they are called suicide doors is because when the car is traveling at speed if the doors are not closed good the wind can catch them throwing them open and throwing the passenger or driver out of the car. You can infact still buy a brand new car with suicide doors. For example the new 2021 Roles Royce Ghost has suicide rear doors on it.
Actually, it sure did look like they were. If I had to bet $10 bucks, I would say they built it on a frame of another companies design, and modified it. The volumes were just too low.
Hi Mark and Sue! Love this video and glad to see the place was open. I added that on our list of things to see someday. You might check out the Nethercutt museum if you're in the southern California area. They are closed currently but hopefully will re-open soon. Website: www.nethercuttcollection.org/Museum.aspx.
We have a book with two pages to "pencil in" places to see in each state for future visits. I have added this awesome museum to our list of things to see when it reopens. Thanks S! We are moving to within 10 miles of this place in a few weeks!
Great vid of the ACD museum!!! One of the BEST automobile museums in the world.
It really was a museum with great auto's and the amazing historical building that everything was happening in back in the day!!
Great. I look forward to next weeks video. Since I was very young, I have loved old cars and trucks.

Without a doubt, one of THE most stylish automobiles ever built - The Auburn Boattail !!!!
I agree Tony,.......now we need an all electric Cord! Lots of room for batteries up front!
So glad that you just say "HECK" -
and you keep your TH-cam Channel very PROfessional, and really CLASSY
with a perfect touch of HUMOR!!!:-D
This video sure reMINDed us of our Uncle Walter who had an immaculate antique car collection:)
Thanks for the great narration, Sue and Mark!!
We appreciate all the kind words Tomolyn! Thanks for stopping by,...
Sehr interessant! Duesenberg ist ausgezeichnete. My German heritage overwhelmed me for a moment. You two make every video interesting.
Thanks Jim. For a moment I thought our channel had gotten taken over by nefarious computer hackers with some secret coded message,............
I can't wait to show my Dad your video! He is near 89 and is a real car buff. He will melt.
That is awesome Rodney! If my Uncle was still around, I would have made a special trip back to Auburn IN just to show him the place!
O Mark, that is a museum tour that I will not miss! The only complaint that I have, is i need a five minute review on that beautiful red Auburn Boat Tail! Thanks SAFE TRAVELS
We really didn't know which cars to talk about!
I have been wanting to stop at this museum for years. Because of this video, now it is a must. I am an automotive enthusiast and love seeing cars from decades past. Thanks you guys for this video. Wish I could have been there with you.
You should definitely stop! Next week's video shows the National Truck and Auto Museum behind the Auburn Museum!
Rolling Masterpieces of Art & Engineering! This would be my version of the movie "Night at the Museum"!
Wow! What a concept,.......especially when you see the episode in two weeks about the National Auto & Truck Museum in back of this building,.....you would have a great cast of characters.
Hahaha, watch out for the smokies, and have safe and joyous travels. Happy Trails Sue and Mark. God Bless!

Glad you enjoyed it,........Sue is way more polished at making videos than I am. Next week is mine on Fire Safety,......then another "Sue Production" on the National Truck & Auto Museum.
Really enjoyed the video, and I learned a lot about the history of these cars. Mark's excitement kept me glued! Thanks for sharing.......
Glad you enjoyed it Bryan!

Actually Gene, I asked her about that and she was actually EXCITED there was so much more,........ That's my GIRL!

Wow! Going to this museum would really be a treat for you if you haven't ALREADY been to it!
My husband and I visited here a few years ago ,we also visited the Studebaker museum in South Bend Indiana.both a quite unique . I love the old Cord autos.
Cheerio safe travels.
It I would have lived in that era, I so would have wanted one of these cars! Pretty sure I would NOT have been able to afford it though!
If you’re a car enthusiast as I am, and in the Oxnard California area, the Mullin Museum is a must see. Side note, the building is just as impressive as the automobiles exhibits.

Our pleasure Wesley! Planning our route to California now,....it is going to be a cannonball run!
Those Cord cars are amazing you uncle had good taste.
Yes they were really amazing,.........and my Uncle Roman truly was a cool guy,.......and as a young lad I always loved to be around him!
Absolutely fantastic video for anybody who is a car nut it was just absolutely perfect never heard of some of them cars but wow they're better than some of them then No most of them today thank you very much for the video Florida
Glad you enjoyed it Steve. We dropped in to this Museum just to past the time of day while Newmar had our rig in to service,......had no idea it was going to be so awesome.
I love those oldies.
Yet these cars were so awesome they still are COOL by today's standards!
Incredible auto engineering and museum!
So glad there are people way smarter than I am, and SAVE all this OLD STUFF until it becomes cool again to display it and allow us all to go down memory lane re-experiencing it!
Thank for Sunday's videos. Wrightsville Beach NC watching!
Thanks for watching Bill!
Got to add these museums to my bucket list. I really like the pre 1940 or so cars with the long narrow noses and big sweeping fenders.
Too bad the Cord Company was able to last long enough to flourish!
You guys find the coolest places. I’m definitely putting this one on our list. Thanks!
You will not be disappointed,...the National Truck Museum was in back of this building and we went there too. Video is in two weeks!
Very awesome! As a son of a car collector I either spent Saturday mornings in the new car dealerships or going to car shows and swap meets. The new cars lack the class and style of these automotive masterpieces! Thanks for the video!
Right on,....you can say that again! What I do appreciate now though is the reliability & safety that has evolved! Our Honda has been SUPER reliable. Heaven help the RV Industry if THEY ever decide to make an RV.
Im loveing all the narrative.
Sue really does put the time in to get the discussion down pat & correct. I on the other hand am more like a very small train wreck.
Very cool museum. Travel safe.
Thanks for visiting Bob. I hope folks can see that this museum is like few others we have ever been too. It was a real treat.
Headlights moved as you turned on the Tucker
And I actually thought Tucker was the one who came up with that feature. Now I know where it really came from.
Some cars in the Brass era did too.
Actually as far back as the early 1900's various companies experimented. It was interesting to see that vehicle/pedestrian vehicle crash safety standards is what ended the flip up headlight design craze! That area now has to be smooth to prevent "extra injury" during a crashes.
I'm impresses Big Gair! I had to look up the Brass Era!
@@OurJourneyInMyles Well I was never smart enough to make "Advanced" 🙃
Nice tour Mark, Fred Schilling
Thanks Fred,........next week is a serious one about Fire Safety.
Thanks for sharing, my wife and I love auto museums. Last summer while attending the FMCA Great Lakes are rally we visited the Gilmore auto museum, which was incredible.
Thanks for sharing Jeff! I added this Museum to our Michigan Travel list!
Marvellous cars thanks for the video
Glad you like them Keith! National Auto & Truck Museum is in two weeks!
Great tour! Love all the innovative engineering for it's time!
We agree! Chief Designer Gordon Buehrig was super ahead of his time!
Love you guys. Thank you for the tour! Enjoyed it and how to go there someday now that you've let us know about it.
Glad you enjoyed it Ana! Indiana is LOADED with Auto Museums!
count down has started to our full timing
Savior the excitement,..........and put it in a bottle so you have it to pour over ice during your first repair! That will make things a lot easier to accept!

Nice job, very interesting how we have some of these innovative ideas in our cars now as "new" features. Have you been over to Studebaker Museum in South Bend? RV Museum in Elkhart?
Not yet to the Studebaker one,...but YES to the RV Museum which we loved as well. We were only posting on Facebook back then!
What a fantastic vlog, Mike is so knowledgeable and well done Sue on great filming & editing. x.
Mark not Mike 😶
Glad you enjoyed it Valerie! Sue had a fun time with this one!
You can call me what you want, just not "Late for Dinner".

I stand corrected Mechanic Steve! Wikipedia agrees!
I can't help but notice the fire sprinkler system in the building. Would love to know if it's original.
That's funny! It's like when I go to a baseball stadium, and the ball game is going on, and I'm studying how the roof retract mechanism works!
Jim Chimento
No, it’s not. The last time I was there (25 years ago) it had been updated.
Great episode but your audio needs closer attention- goes from a whisper to a shout
Noted! The mask was a killer to work with on a shoestring camera/audio budget!
Any Smith frames?
Actually, it sure did look like they were. If I had to bet $10 bucks, I would say they built it on a frame of another companies design, and modified it. The volumes were just too low.
Sorry, I mean Mark not Mike x.
That's OK Celery! :>)
Hi Mark and Sue! Love this video and glad to see the place was open. I added that on our list of things to see someday. You might check out the Nethercutt museum if you're in the southern California area. They are closed currently but hopefully will re-open soon. Website: www.nethercuttcollection.org/Museum.aspx.
We have a book with two pages to "pencil in" places to see in each state for future visits. I have added this awesome museum to our list of things to see when it reopens. Thanks S! We are moving to within 10 miles of this place in a few weeks!
Duesenberg gave us the term “She’s a doozy”
When we saw them in real life, we can see why the phrase was coined!
