George Cole Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I was there in March (for about the 10th time), with the joint CCCA Florida Region and Florida Packard Club Ocala tour. I never get tired of looking at the displays as there's so much to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLYER15015 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I too visited this museum in March. Spent 4+ hours there and I don't think I saw it all. Took lots of pictures though. Something to look at during those cold winter days here in Colorado. I'll be back down in Ocala this next March and I will plan on another afternoon there. SOOOO much to see !!!!

Museum Board member since the 1980s 2001 My Dad dropped dead in front of me in Florida fixin to go to the Daytona 500. We had just stopped at Garlits Museum.My folks already walked to our car but i was looking thru the open gate trying to see what that Rail was they were working on back behind in his shop when,here comes an old S10 pickup leaving the shop.I stepped back and started to walk away and the S10 stopped.I was facing the sun and couldn't see in it very good but this guy says,"What you looking at back there"? I told him just checking out the shop from the gate.It was Don! He stuck his hand out to shake hands.He told me i wouldn't hurt anything if i walked on back there closer.He had grease on his arms and sweaty hot.What a joy meeting him like that.I will never forget it.I could spend 10 hours in that museum!!! Man,that guy has tried EVERYTHING possible back in the day to gain even 1 horsepower.Really well worth the money to check the place out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
