Since I own three convertibles you know my vote may be biased...
Ok, how often in between March 1-15 do you drive any of your convertibles with the top down? 😉

Weather is rarely the limiting factor, busy with work & honey do's tend to be a bigger issue... I'd love to tell you rain keeps me from putting the top down but this is central California, it's been to dry for to long.... Some mornings it may be a little chilly (upper 40's to mid 50's) but turn on the heat & you'll survive....

Ok, got a good deal on a full-size from Alamo. Hopefully, they'll have some Chargers in their lot when we get there. Alamo has always been good to me so fingers crossed 😉

Blackhawk Car Museum in Danville

Peterson Car Museum in LA.

This year seems to have more rain than normal so it's anyone's guess but wine tasting in Napa doesn't preclude that.

Blackhawk will have a cars and coffee get together on March 5th. It's open to any one and free. Generally 200-400 cars show up and you'll see all the high dollar sports cars plus muscle, and old classic cars.

Cool, about that time we might just be passing Danville so we might stop by (even if we get a Nissan 😉).

Is The National Automobile Museum in Reno worth a visit or is it a waste of money & time?

Huh?   Well how about by it's original name... The Harrah's Collection?   Yes it is well worth seeing, lots of historic cars in a beautiful facility... I preferred when they had more cars & more memorabilia but it was all in the old barns....

Didn't know they renamed it.

I guess if you are in Reno it could be a small time sync but nothing like the Peterson museum.

Your entitled to your opinion, I've been to the Peterson three times, the first time it was me & a couple friends, twice because I was there with a group & it was near by... Never really felt the need to go back... Harrahs back went it was in the barns had over 1400 cars on display, first time I ever saw a cut away 426 Hemi... Unfortunately they sold a huge chunk of the collection to pay for the pretty new facility.... Back in the day it was rows of cars & memorabilia, now it's kinda like Peterson with theme based displays, it sells the story to average people but sacrificed so much history to make a more sellable experience...

The one time I went to the Petersen museum they had the Hot Wheels Original Redline collection.

Brought back alot of memories.

Do they still have it there?

Looks like Dan Gurney's Eagles are coming soon.. Quite a few cool displays, some not so exciting...
