Monday 17th Feb

This is the Tallahassee Automobile Museum, a few miles up the road from the B&B. (Of course we found an old car museum-we always do!)
You'll have to blow it up to see any detail. The two-seat sportscar looking like a small SS100 was made at Dagenham before the war for one of Henry Ford's kids when he was 15 and is a one off.



Carolyn is standing next to our old friend the Bantam, an Austin 7 with an American accent. The keen eye will spot a couple of dowdy-looking Segull outboard motors in the line-up.
The rest of the exhibits were all-American 'big iron' of various vintages going back to 1898. The finish of all the exhibits was up to the usual high standard - better than original in many cases I'm sure.
Here is the car I want to be driven around in. It's a Chrysler Imperial, and I think it's classy-but then I have odd ideas of what's classy (Carolyn)



This was one of the collection of Steinway pianos. Understated it isn't! Alma-Tadema had something to do with it.


Here are another couple of OTT Steinways....






This is another exhibit, one of several boats.
