Took a walk over to a place where some of the FINEST CARS IN THE WORLD are on display at the National Automobile Museum, which is located just south of the Truckee River in Reno, Nevada. This collection highlights historic automobiles from the late 19th century and from throughout the 20th. Most of the vehicles displayed are from the collection of the late casino owner William F. Harrah and so the museum is sometimes referred to as The Harrah Collectionhttp://www.automuseum.org

The museum’s holdings of over 200 cars are spread over four galleries. Gallery 1 showcases cars built during the 1890s & 1900s, Gallery 2 features cars from the 1910s to 1930s, Gallery 3 the ’30s through to the ’50s, and Gallery 4 displays cars from 1950 onwards. Gallery 4 also includes race cars and the Off-road Motorsports Hall of Fame.  Each gallery is linked by a themed “street”, featuring vehicles as well as faux shop fronts.

The Museum has been named in the ‘Top Ten Museums’ by Car Collector magazine, one of the top sixteen auto museums in the world by AutoWeek…NJOY the pics from THE HARRAH COLLECTION !!!
