History Funny what you find in your neighborhood

I have lived in this area for 20 yrs. and have often p***ed by this big barn, not really knowing what it was about, until I went to a car show there last weekend.
It turns out it is a museum founded by the Motte family who pioneered the valley, who are also avid car collectors.
I went back today and snapped a few pic's:

 

Pretty cool to have that in your local area.

 

Crazy. Looks like a nice collection of some nice vintage automobiles right there for sure.

What a beautiful collection. Is it open to the public? Be great to see it first hand!

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^ My thoughts, and question, exactly!

 

Love the T Speedster...

 

Yes...Open to the public...and free! The owner welcomed me today and was eager to talk about his collection. He showed me around telling me the history of all of the cars.
They are all drivers (it was cool to see drip pans under the cars and battery tenders on most)
This was the info on the 1st car, kinda cool-

 

I saw it on a recent episode of Overhauling I think.

 

pretty COOL!

that's SOME barn!

 

Gives a whole new perspectiive to the term "barn find". Wish I were closer, would love to see it in person.

Very cool! Just where is this "barn"?

 

Off Hwy 74, a few miles north of Menifee. About 45 min. drive for you, it's worth it. They have a website:
