Thanks for sharing!

 

Thanks for sharing Paul- this is one that's on my bucket list for sure!

Never noticed the "Knee Action Spl" on the side before

 

We had the opportunity to visit the museum last year as part of a Model T speedster tour. We had parts of about four days to just roam around the place. It is truly one of the neatest automotive related museums you will ever see.

 

We went through Lincoln several months back on a quest to pick up a quater panel for my A coupe project and thought we'd swing by, but called and they were closed at the time. Definitely want to come back to take a look. Thanks for sharing.

 

Cool trip Paul!

 

I toured the museum with my family a few years ago.
That place is wonderful.
Thanks for rekindling the memories.
Looks like you had lots of fun.

 

Visiting Speedy Bill's museum is in the top 10 on my bucket list.

 

Thanks so much for sharing your pics and story.

 

Paul,
Thanks for the time and effort to put this together and sharing it with the rest of us. Much appreciated.

I had the opportunity to visit Speedy Bill's last year. What a treat!

 

Visited museum four years ago on way to Bonneville Speed Week. Not sure which was better. A must see on bucket list.

 

Been to it several times, in the new and old location. Still cool to go again and again!

 

I sure hope to get there some day. That red 7 is an absolute hoot. Gary

 

I was at the museum a few years ago, stunning collection of rare hardware in that place. I only had four hours to spend, will go back one of these days for an extended tour.

Thanks for the pictures!

 

I went last year, pretty neat, even Mrs Speedy Bill has a collection

 

I could spend a week in that place! I'm ready to go back.

 

been to it twice, plan to go back again, more than once!

I just went through this last weekend. 6 friends and myself loaded up Friday in a motor coach and made the tour Saturday. One of my buddies had the tour once from Speedy Bill himself. Priceless. A must see for every gearhead. You have to see it to believe it.

 

I got to go thru it while on the Hot Rod Power Tour several years ago, they had just set some of his collection up & we were the grand opening tour group. I was blown away by the amount of great things in the collection & was told that was only a small part of it. Havent had the chance to get back for more but it is on the list.

 

Sadly we missed Jess' dad's red Bonneville streamliner as it was put back in the museum right after we left. I have seen it before but my gang had not.

 

Cool Paul, I can,t see that place to many times!One of Nebraska's best treasures!

 

and speaking of Nebraska's best treasures I am hoping to see the South Omaha Turds in a couple of weeks at the swap meet

 

man that looks soo cool!!!!! I feel an urge to go to Nebraska for some strange reason!

 

We will see ya there

 

Thanks for the pics Bruce. I love seeing the speed parts and engines
