John...yes, go to the Harrahs Car Collection in reno I believe. That is well worth the effort as they do have some REALLY cool cars there as previously stated by another post.

I just got back from Peterson's today...good museum, but kinda expensive($7 for adults). No Chevelles, but the do have Woody's on display, recreaions, & the General Lee, Herbie the Love Bug etc. I'll scan the pics when we get them developed. Also, when are you going to be in California, where, & for how long? Sept 16-19 is Route 66 Rendezvous in San Bernadino...2,600 cars(is that enough cars?) If interested, give me an email. They have a website http://www.route-66.org. Hope you have a good time.
