San Antonio antique cars

[trimacar]

Will be in San Antonio in a couple of months, anything there to see regarding antique cars? Used to be a museum there that had some cars, still there?

[jackofalltrades70]

There's a lot of good people in that area. Seguin, Austin, etc. I would imagine that just visitin' with the good old folks from the forum would be fun in itself!

The Atwell collection is in nearby Kerrville, but it's not open very often. Mainly to groups. A very fine collection of prewar Classic cars. If you know someone who knows someone, you might be able to get in.

I knew some people down there, in fact bought my Cord from a fellow in Kerrville.....when I lived in Loisiana.....that's an idea...thanks...

David:

You might want to visit Dick's Classic Garage in San Marcos (between Austin and San Antonio). It has only been open a couple of years and is the collection of Dick Burdick who was a frequent participant and winner of the Great American Race. Here's more info about his collection:

http://www.dicksclassicgarage.com/

He has four Duesenbergs, a couple of Auburns, a Cord, a Stutz, a Tucker, etc.

We visited the Atwell collection on the 2010 Sentimental tour. It is worth pulling strings to get the opportunity to view it. Dicks Classic

Garage is part of this years Texas Tour May 22-24. Google 2014 Texas Tour for details. Bob Smits

David, the old Dick Burdick collection is excellent.

Going to Kerrville, call me first and I'll arrange an intro with a friend who (at last visit) was curator of a private collection, including several fantastic Marmons

Also, Bob's post (above) - he and Pam are great contacts and long-time friends!
