A Purple Fisker Karma?

100412 OC Auto Show 079

A Purple Fisker Karma? Yes, and it looked pretty good to my eyes, This was seen at the recent Orange County International Auto Show at the Anaheim Convention Center.

This was done as a wrap and the matte finish actually seemed to enhance the lines and curves of this beauty. Some of you may not be familiar with Fisker Automotive but they are based in Anaheim, CA.

This one also had what appeared to be a solar panel roof, but that may have been a wrap image.

Central Texas Museum of Automotive History

I was fortunate to visit the Central Texas Museum of Automotive History last fall.
The museum which was mostly comprised of  Dick Burdick's collection of cars and various other automobilia was auctioned off two weeks ago. This museum was located in Rosanky, TX way off the beaten path. Not something the casual tourist would easily discover, unlike Dick's Classic Garage, his other museum in San Marcos, TX. I happened to visit that one first and after a lengthy conversation with the curator decided to visit this one.

The results of the Dan Cruse Classics auction are available here and the complete Auction Catalog is here.
















A nice red '32 Ford Model B Pickup

There were cases filled with unique Automaker Badges & Emblems.

Automobilia was displayed everywhere one looked.
