Xander Wildeisen Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Stopped by the Deer Park Auto Museum in Escondido California today. Took pictures for everyone on here. They have a nice collection of convertibles. Worth the stop if you are in the area. Lots of pictures. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Shifter Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) Great assortment, thanks for posting. Looks like they are trying to pour 10 gallons into a 5 gallon hat. Some vehicles appeared to be outside. They really need more room to separate the displays so they can be better appreciated. I'm sure EdinMass will appreciate the circa '70's paint job on the Pierce cabriolet.

zepher Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Looks like a neat place to visit. Never knew it was there, I may have to take a day trip out there to see it. Have you been to the gas and steam engine museum in Vista? They have one day a month where they run a bunch of the engines for visitors. https://www.agsem.com/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Smolinski Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Nice! Two things: I wonder if any of them see the road at all. If I could take 1 it would be the ‘59 Cadillac. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod P Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Loving the Kaiser Darrin. Great photos, thanks for posting. Went to US in '96, Big place, missed so much. Probably won't get back in this lifetime. Thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max4Me Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I was there in early November. You missed the story on the 1928 Franklin Boattail Sport runabout. According to the sign there were only 7 ever made. Further, a 1928 Franklin was the only vehicle Charles Lindbergh would accept after his record 1927 NY to Paris flight. Franklin was so honored they changed their radiator cap to a replica of the Spirit of St. Louis as an option (seen on the car in the photo). Be prepared to do a great deal of walking. The place is/was a winery and the vehicles are housed in three separate buildings spread out over several acres-one is quite a hike uphill. Still, an amazing collection of cars and other memorabilia. Well worth the trip. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Byrd Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Xander Wildeisen, these photos are great, but museums hit me two ways. One, I'm so glad folks preserve things I will never get to see or own otherwise, and two, it almost hurts to see the stuff just setting and not being used, lol. Thanks so much for showing your wonderful photos !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepher Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 You weren't kidding about the number of convertibles. Just about every car is a convertible. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bond Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Doesn't look like much has changed since we visited a few years ago. I remember some areas were dusty and looked like the vehicles had not moved in a long time. Typical old fashioned "museum" with cars lined up behind ropes, packed close together. There is a special forum for "Museums." Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bamford Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) An interesting and varied collection for sure. Thank you for posting They must be going for the Shoehorn (Most Cars Per Square Foot) Award. For my taste, fewer cars with more space between would add a lot to the visitor experience. Likewise the verbose signage — IMO cutting the word count by 75% would impart more information to the casual visitor. Few people will wade through all that text, particularly at floor level, unless there is a real interest in a specific vehicle.

pmhowe Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 For some reason, most (like 80%) of the pictures showed up as small square boxes with a ? in it. This is very frustrating. I use Safari on a Mac. Can anyone suggest what causes the problem? Thanks, and apologies to Xander for a slight temporary diversion of the thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7th Son Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Can't wait for the state of California to tax them out of business. That will be the auction of a lifetime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
