Wow, what a thread full of wonderful photos. This is a great museum Kyle, we have visited several times over the years and it always gets better. I have to ask if you bought a classic while you were there, or were you just window shopping. TFS....

We were there several years ago Kyle and really enjoyed it.Tonight we are going to cruise nite and hopefully will get some decent old cars to post later.--charliezap

I was gonna go there with my sigma 8-16 and post this thread. You beat me to it LOL great photos.

Thanks for posting this. I got to sit here in my comfortable chair, and take a nice tour of this museum which I really enjoyed. I would never be able to see something like this in person.

Den · 11-03-2012, 08:28 PM

Did you miss any? LOL

**Sailor** · 11-04-2012, 07:03 AM

Wow - your arms must be tired. This is a terrific series - I'm really taken with the red '54 Alpha - I've never seen one of the those. Thanks for the tour.

Yes, he missed a lot - even if he took pictures of every car they had on display, he missed over 3/4 of the collection. For work and pleasure, I spent a lot of time in Vegas, and made a point of seeing the collection every time I was in town. The owner has far more cars than the display allows to be shown, so every time I went I saw something new. The amazing thing was everything was started and run at least twice a year, including such oddities as the Stanly Steamer. Another neat thing is you don't have to pay to see them, although they do sell tickets. Ask around in the casino, or check with the guys on the sidewalk passing out free stuff, and tickets are always available for free.

To the OP, nice pictures of some beautiful iron!

The cars likely rotate in and out as they are sold and acquired, so you might see something different next time.

I think I got all but about 5 Rolls-Royce's near the end. They were getting boring :-)

I did work up a sweat. I kind of like the McFarlan, and the tiger hunter :-)

I printed out a ticket from the Imperial Palace website.

Anyone else have problems with all the images loading properly? I think there may be too many images on one page...

Bullfrog_1 · 11-04-2012, 10:46 AM

What is Yugo doing there??? I mean there are some cars that worth over a million and Yugo it is strange especially when you can buy one for 50$ here in my town, funny. Nice pictures, your arms and legs must be tired after this session.

**wtlwdwgn** · 11-04-2012, 12:39 PM

Wow, a great selection of interesting cars and their histories too. A museum is often a tough place to shoot because of limited space. Nice job.

GeoJerry · 11-04-2012, 01:12 PM

That was a lot of fun to scroll through. But a 1967 Chevelle or a 1970 Dodge for $65K? Man, some people must have more money than they know what to do with.

**crewl1** · 11-04-2012, 01:21 PM

Thanks for the tour. Great shots

sqjaw · 11-04-2012, 09:47 PM

Thank you very much from this old goat and more so for the captions on each car,

I've found the 15mm is good for cars...

There was a '71 Valiant for $4,500 :-)
