Founded in 2009, Dick’s Classic Car Garage has thrilled and educated visitors to San Marcos, Texas, for nearly a decade with a collection that includes Duesenbergs, a Chrysler Imperial that served British royalty and an American president, and a Tucker 48 sedan with less than a mile on the odometer. On December 31, the museum will close its doors forever, and its holdings will be offered at RM Sotheby’s auctions over the coming year, with proceeds going to fund the efforts of The Richard L. Burdick Foundation.

Greetings! We opened Hill Country Motorheads Vintage Motorcycle Museum March 17th in Burnet, TX (Texas Hill Country). The museum houses a diverse collection of over 80 vintage motorcycles across all brands and classes. We are listed on  Trip Advisor, YELP and also have a  Motorheads website and a Facebook page. We have had excellent response to the museum thus far with over 1000 visitors through the door since opening March 17th. Hill Country Motorheads is featured in the July/August 2018 Motorcycle Classics magazine on pgs. 50-54. Here is a link to the online article.

My wife and I had the good fortune to take a month long motor trip around the USA. Among the many stops at historic houses, art and history museums, national monuments and presidential homes, were the last of the major motorcycle museums I had not visited. The Barber Vintage Museum is obvious the crown jewel and not because of the sheer numbers, but the building and presentation are unbelievable. I meet Dennis Kanegae at the new Haas Museum and spent a very enjoyable morning there. It worth your time. I had often wondered about Wheels Through Time as I’m not a big H-D fan. Very impressive collection and the casual style works. It is also near the Biltmore Estate, which is is the largest privately owned house in the United States. 35 bedrooms, 65 fireplaces, and 43 bathrooms.

The AMA Hall of Fame has a lot historical competition machines on display and the Sturgis Museum was a wecome surprise when we realized we were at Mount Rushmore and Sturgis was just down the road on our way home.

Probably the best automotive museum in the country is the Revs Institute in Naples, Florida. I love race cars and this museum has the Briggs Cunningham cars and the Collier collection which has the largest collection of Porsche race cars in the country. Also a Mercedes  W154 and other F1 cars. It’s to bad its so far away from the main stream as you really have to want to go there. We also stopped at the Petroleum Museum in Midland, Texas to see the Chaparral cars. Neat place. Next year we hope to do the Northeast again and visit the museums in New York and Maine that we haven't seen.    dennis vft
