Default My 73 Being Displayed at LeMay Car Museum

The LeMay Museum in Tacoma asked me to display my 73 454 convertible for their "The Birth of the American Supercar" exhibit thru August. I couldn’t refuse even though it’ll be gone for most of our summer driving season. The first pic is it on display.

Wow, congratulations! (All summer though... )
I've seen the museum's building a number of times off i-5 but never stopped. Even if your car isn't on display I assume it's a cool place to visit?

Yes it’s a very cool museum with something for everyone. I’ve been to it several times since it opened, worth the visit.

The LeMay museum is an impressive collection. You are very fortunate to have your C-3 on display there. Harold collected cars his entire life. He made his money hauling garbage in Tacoma. The cars used to be on display at his residence in Tacoma WA. and once a year he would open his doors to the public and allow us in. Managed to speak to him several times, he signed a ticket stub for me. All around great guy.

Cool, your willingness to sacrifice drive time so others can enjoy your car is laudable,
not to mention it looks fantastic in that display.
