There is a museum near me, the Larz Anderson museum. The collection is too big for the museum so they rotate "themes". I went there for a Brass Era show and didn't recognize a single manufacturer.

Step over the ropes and an alarm goes off.

Great museum, I visit there several times a year and it is always changing.

Beautiful cars. I especially like the brass RR.
What is the car with the sideways mounted radial engine?

Looks like the Reno auto museum was a much better choice than the Reno air races last weekend.
