for your inspiration: the america on wheels museum

Our family took a little trip a few weeks ago up to Allentown, PA to attend a two day Drum and Bugle Corps competition. Just because we are die hard band geeks. We also spent a morning at the America on Wheels Museum.

I had no idea electric cars were made this far back!

The restoration room, with works in progress, held visual treasures for a texture junkie like me.

Um. Why did this design never really catch on?

Luxury – and it was as big as my minivan. 

For reference – little guy comes to my shoulders – as does the hood on this beast.

Huge. I mean, HUGE! And sleek. And gorgeous.

The detailing on the oldest autos – simply beautiful. I want to paint amazing things on my minivan.
