Every time I've passed through Lincoln, I promised myself I was going to stop at the shop and the museum - and I was always 4 hours behind schedule, or it was after business hours.  Other than J. C. Whitney, probably the pioneer in mail order hot-rod parts.

I hope the museum stays together - I still want to see the EELCO streamliner up close.
