Post by: Mustang.D on July 14, 2013, 09:55:49 AM: Yes. I saw that too Andy, that the Corvette Club are having a display day there at Lost in the 50's American Motor Museum this weekend. I think we should put this place up for a review on the club forum as a possible future run. I know that I would like to go and see this place. :thumb:

Heard about the joint.. can't see it yet.. but would be a good run but try to make it a later met up due to travel time.. ... as long as folk don't have to met up at some ungodly hr like 8.30 or 9am at Hornsby.. as for some it takes maybe 2 hrs to get there alone.

Don't worry about that John I book ahead every AMCCA event that is why it drives me crazy when people just show up without posting on the forum some times the turnout is twice or three times the number of members that I told them to expect when I book.
Title: Re: Lost in the 50's American Motor Museum
Post by: joe74ta on July 15, 2013, 01:39:31 PM: OK people after speaking to Glenn today we have booked the run for the first open day that did not clash with our calendar which is Saturday Oct 19th.
The Museum only holds 10 open days a year so it is vitally important that we give Glenn confirmed numbers by Friday Oct 4th to secure our booking as the Museum only accommodates a limited number of guests on each open day. Entry to the Museum is $15 per person.
As for the early start the Museum's hours are 9:30am till 2:30pm so an early start is unfortunately unavoidable if we leave Maccas Thornleigh at 9:00am and take in to account the travel time from there we will have four hours to go through the venue and that is without a lunch break. Before I post this event on the Club events page let me know your thoughts on a starting time.

Post by: rottnbrat on October 04, 2013, 12:14:43 AM: hey guys. count me in. I organised a run there recently for the 567 chev club but couldnt make it myself, but we ended up with about 14 cars and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. There is a nice pub just up the road where they went for lunch..you do need to get to the museum early though.

I was in touch with Glen the other day, as he knows the club has a booking I'm sure he would of contacted us if there was a issue.

Post by: ozpont on October 19, 2013, 04:56:34 PM: What an amazing place... know of nothing to compare it to in Oz.. and the cars.. heck.. we all know 57 chevy's and the odd mopar.. but there was SO much more.. wagons.. 50's cars with electric REAR window (not sides)... squared off factory steering wheel...continental kits that never looked more at home .. roof lines on same year GM Vehicles that are not shared between the BOP series.. and look great ..
So much stuff.... ...Put this place on your bucket list... :burnout:
