We stumbled onto a GREAT museum in Denver Monday. Check it out.
It has only recently been open to the public.
http://www.cusslermen.com/CusslerMuseum.htm
The owner Clive Cussler is an author and incorporates many
of the cars he owns into the stories. I was curious and checked out one of his early books Tues. and couldn't put it down... Finished it today.
The books are "Indiana Jones-type" adventure books. It's the first book I've read since Lee Iacocca's book!!!
The curator Keith Lowden also does the restorations on Cussler's vehicles plus other restorations. Currently he's working on.a two-tone blue 1956 Nomad. Keith is a member of the Nomad assn as is the owner of the car he's restoring.
We also visited the new location of the Forney Transportation Museum. We'd visited it in it's old location 15 years ago. If you're ever in Denver, don't miss these. (CCI show is up in Breckenridge Labor Day weekend)
