Recently, I learned of three more Automotive
museums in Arizona, having scribbled about two of them. Whilst stumbling into
another in the Sunshine State.
ARIZONA
Martin Auto Museum and Event Center
Location: Glendale
Having scribbled copious amounts ‘O verbiage
this past August-September over my debutante visit to this wonderful museo, its
quickly vaunted past my favourite Arizona “Haunt”, the Penske Racing Museum.
Mel Martin, now 95 years young! Loved his car
collection so much, He bought a whole city block for his ever-growing
collection! Which currently houses over 170 vehicles of all makes, models,
shapes and sizes. As there’s even a Bumblebee transformer on display!
Although now their website boasts over 200
vehicles on hand, including that 2002 Lincoln continental Concept car…
Y’all can read my
introductory No Fenders post below.

Arizona!

Franklin Museum
Location: Tucson
Thanks to Martin Auto Museum Docent Gene, I
learned about the Franklin museo after my visit to the fabulous Martin Auto
Museum. Thus, I’m just going off of what Gene told me about these very
interesting air-cooled automobiles, being ahead of their time.
Having scribbled briefly about their Model 135
Sedan below.

Martin Auto Museum Hidden Gems
Museum website
Dwarf Car Museum
Location: Maricopa
Not really sure how I stumbled into learning
about these miniature “Dwarf” cars. Which I believe are all built in 11 / 16-inch
scale. Or 0.6875 (inches) in “New Money” as ‘Ol Professor Steve Matchett would
say. Although believe I discussed them with Arizona Bureau Chief Snowbird MJ’
when visiting The Valley of The Sun.
As the museo is dedicated to creator Ernie
Adams passion for hand building Dwarf racecars and classic “rods”. With His
first creation, “Grandpa Dwarf” being built in 1965.

CALIFORNIA
California Auto Museum
Location: Sacramento
Learned about this unknown car museum when
“watching”, err listening to rick DeBruhl’s Automotive Evolution video upon the
museo’s 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Pony car…
