LeMay car museum, Tacoma WA

I went to the LeMay Museum in Tacoma, WA, yesterday for a local Saab club outing. LeMay is currently building a proper facility for their hundreds of cars right in Tacoma, but before it's done, you can visit them in their dormant, stored state at a now-defunct Catholic boys military school. It's a fascinating, eclectic (well, at times, completely random) collection of cars.

Here are a couple of shots:

1960 Fiat Abarth 750:

Mercedes SL awaiting restoration (or, at least, a good dusting):

Cord:

Cadillac:

Random AMC (don't recall model:

Tucker!!

If you look through the rest of the pics -- http://www.flickr.com/photos/teamdrally/sets/72157624192925095/ -- you'll see all sorts of strange juxtapositions: E-type next to an Aztek, Corvair next to a Delorean, P1800 next to a Pacer, etc.

Anyway, if you are ever in the Pacific Northwest, you'd be missing out by skipping the museum!!

The AMC looks like a Concord vert. Cool pics. Thanks for sharing.

AMC Concord Targa????

Just saying that makes me feel . . . . well it is just wrong and yet there it is.

I did some Googling and it looks like the AMC is a Concord Sundancer.

Where is this place located? I am in Tacoma very often and am interested in seeing this collection for myself!

The irony... At one point in my life I considered buying a "double-bubble." Don't really regret not going down that path though.

Thanks a lot, planning on stopping by next time I go up there to visit my woman! Most likely w/o her, lol

The Fiat is awesome, and the SL is lovely...but I keep scrolling back to the AMC .
