Kansas City here I come... what should a car guy NOT MISS?

goin to KC for a few days to visit some folks that do not have the car addiction that i have...
so i'm asking you guys, are there any car-related attractions (museums, cruise nights, shops, etc.) that I can go see if i get a spare minute?

Thanks!

 

What dates will you be here?

 

No so much car related, but take the Boulevard Beer...beer tour. It is KC's finest brewery on Southwest BLVD in KCMO.

Their beer is outstanding...but do not take my word for it!

 

in kc 27-30th.. not really prime dates!

thanks for the beerrun tip!

 

Stay away from the lame Casino's.

 

there is a little car museum in lenexa, another in bonner springs. both kansas suburbs, if you have the chance to go a little further, go to gas from the past in pleasant hill

 

Hard to find car stuff going on those dates.

The place in Lenexa is mostly muscle cars for sale but for a buck you can walk around and look at cars for awhile

If you're looking for old Ford parts you may want to head over to Baxter's in Lawrence. They have cool stuff!

Want to watch a bunch of old cars get crushed?

Not car related, but the World War I museum and steamship Arabia museum aren't bad.

Hell I should read my own links! The World War I museum is having a car show while you're here!

Vintage Vehicle Display - Sunday, May 27 and Monday, May 28
The Military Vehicle Preservation ***ociation will display a number of vintage military vehicles on the Liberty Memorial lawn. The displays will include vehicles from WWII, Korea and Vietnam – including Jeeps and tanks.

i hesitated to ask... because i though "what are the chances?"

i'll be real close to some of it!

thanks all!

 

Pete and Jakes are just south of KC in Peculiar, MO.

thanks again all!

 

hey big dad...
ya want me to bring some back?

 

The Steamboat Arabia museum downtown is awesome just like my pal 97flatrat mentioned. Local guys dug up a sunken riverboat loaded with new goods that sunk in the Missouri River in the 1800's. Everything is preserved almost like new.
