Amazing coverage Tim on the model car museum. Wonderful coverage. So many awesome builds. I remember when i started building model cars in 1968 I would read either Model Car or Model Car Journal and they would feature a builder named Dave Shulkis. In fact i thought i may have seen one of his builds a metallic blue custom '40 Ford in one of the large display cases. He was quite an inavator of working convertible tops and opening doors. He left us all to soon. Thanks again for taking the time to video the many pieces of our model car history.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

So very true Chris, Dave was a great builder who left us too soon. Really glad to hear you liked the video as I tried hard to give the feeling that you were there!

Thank you Jason, so glad you enjoyed the tour..... Oh wow, even though Barry has passed it's an honor to know someone who has models there. For Barrys family and friends his modeling can still be remembered!!!

Great video and coverage of the museum, I was happy to see my 67 Chevelle at time marker 28:22 in the Project Chevelle of the Town of Newburgh Model Car Club. (I built the factory stock, new car). Sadley to say that some of the people that worked on that project are no longer with us.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Oh wow, you built that Chevelle, very cool!!!! Yes, time is moving way too fast and we are losing a lot of great builders. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

Great to finally see a video showing what’s on display here. Glad your visit didn’t interrupt his phonecall and conversations, he really didn’t initially seem keen to show you around. 😬 Pity that so many builders don’t have any credit for their work, I guess if the details have been lost nothing can be done. Love the library, I could spend a week in there.

[@bigchef2112]

What an amazing video Tim. The sheer volumes of history stored in that building is phenomenal. Thank you for taking us inside to view such history. I’ve been slowly buying old paints, supplies etc. just because of the history. I think my 2 favorites has to be the Sunoco Camaro and the Revell 1/4 scale engines. I truly wish AMT & Revell would bring out all the craftsman parts packs. Thanks again Tim.

The museum is awesome Tim. I still have the magazine where they showed the Oakland Roadster show diorama when they first built it. Thanks for an awesome tour. Ron

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Very cool Ron! That diorama is soooooo cool, it kick started me into building dioramas.

[@samtate6260]

Awesome to see the Oakland diorama. The pearl white (with ruby red scallops that don't show in the video) '60 Impala at the back of the right column is mine. I think that was built around 1990. I'm also pretty sure that was trashed in shipping and was reassembled for the display. Good to see, thanks for the video!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Oh wow Sam thank you for sharing that!! The Oakland diorama inspired me to start building dioramas.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I have more footage and several up close pics of different areas of the diorama I'm putting together for a video dedicated to just that. Love, love, love that diorama Sam!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for doing this video Tim. Hey, you were in Utah anyway right? Seriously, I would love to visit this place . I have read articles and seen other videos but this is the most thorough coverage I have ever seen. That diarama of the Oakland Roadster show is just amazing! As someone who has built models and collected model magazines since the 60's I recognize many of the historic models on display. Many were award winners. Some were magazine builds. All are cool! Do they have a gift shop?
