Revs Automotive Museum

[Wonderwagon]

In the quest, to see more than hotel rooms; a friend of mine. A musician, turned me onto a Museum in Naples FL. It originally came about as a research resource for automotive subject matter. Their collection contains race cars, European brands Porsche, Bentley, Alfa Romeo, Corvette. High quality cars from the twenties up till the late 60's. Large Porsche collection of race cars. Great design, if you gotten here, there even is a Cunningham C5R hemi powered car. One other thing the first photo, top left car is the Eldon Slot car from my youth, a 904 Porsche.

I briefly sold tools to the shop... incredible collection of stuff you can't buy parts for, and a team of guys to make them.

Good find.

As mentioned recently, they have an online library as well, some American race history of interest as well, but more leaning towards Europe.
