Tacoma is home to the LeMay, America's Car Museum.
It is a perfect place to see up close and personal,
the evolution of the car.
From the horse drawn carriage...
...to the horseless carriage...
...to the Model T...
...to this "downoutlowlife."
The building is beautifully unique.
There is a beautiful view of Tacoma and Browns Point in the background, a Ferrari and very interested kids in the foreground.
There are levels and levels and rows and rows of cars.
This is only a fraction of what Harold LeMay collected.
1924 Lincoln 124A Touring Car
We all like this car, the first car to drive over the original "Galloping Gertie" and also the first to drive over the newest Tacoma Narrows bridge. It also carried Queen Elizabeth and Franklin D. Roosevelt when they came to Tacoma.
Some of us (or maybe one of us) remember when gas was $.30 a gallon.
It's fun to hang out with our Chinese foreign exchange student.
No car seats for us, just a bunch of kids thrown in and someone riding on the running board.
And no one can say, "He's looking out my window!"

Thank you, LeMay Car Museum.
We learned a lot about cars
and how they have changed over time.
