  • Happy (Belated) Birthday to Car Customizing Icon Gene Winfield!

  • The Gilmore Car Museum

  • My Trip to the Hall of Heroes Superhero Museum.

                  Elkhart, Indiana, located just west of the Indiana/Ohio border, has quite a few museums in it. One is the RV Hall of Fame, the other Hall of Heroes Superhero Museum. The RV Hall of Fame makes sense, Indiana has a strong connection to the automotive industry, and Elkhart is the RV Capital of the…
