In the first two parts in this series, I took you through the Aubun Cord Duesenberg Museum. In this part, we’ll go next door into the National Auto & Truck Museum.
The National Auto & Truck Museum is housed in a former Auburn Automobile factory. It holds a variety of vehicles. I’d say the bulk of the cars in this museum are from the 1950s and later.
Here’s a selection of the pictures I took in the musem.
I’ll wrap this article up with a selection of Mustangs from the museum. I’ll start with my favorite of the Mustangs, then end with a quite interesting Mustang.
I hope you enjoyed these three parts. These pictures only scratch the surface of what is on display at the museums.
If you find yourself in Auburn, I recommend both the Auburn Brewing Company and Mad Anthony’s Taproom.
“1969 Dodge Charger. When “Dukes of Hazzard” filming ended, there were 19 Chargers left of the 240 used for the series. Warner Brothers kept the two that looked the best for use in pictures. The remaining 17 were put in storage and then sold in 1990. This is one of those 17.”
240 – 19 = 221
Damn.
The law never got them, but the mountain sure did.
😂
I used to drive a ’63 ‘Vair (it was my first wife’s). Damn fine car, and it was only the 1st year that had the issues that POS Nader whined about.
Mom and Dad had a ’66 Mustang convertable. 289 with three on the floor, only option was rear seat belts. Damn fine car.
These are fun, thanks DEG.
You’re welcome!

🙂
I had a 6 cylinder, shit brindle brown, came out of WI and had several years of salt wear and tear but I did like that car. Pad $250 for it, drove it 40K and sold it for $600
DEG, these are the cars I grew up with. Thanks for visiting the museum for me, hope you back with more pix.
I’m glad you liked it!
We always called them “Slug Bugs”.
Wonderful tour, DEG. Thanks so much for sharing. What a bunch of beautiful machines!
You’re welcome!
I taught my son the slug bug game, and we would play it when driving around. He made the mistake of playing it with his mother, who had never heard of the game. Much hilarity ensued.
“Games” like that seem custom made to start fights.
We always called them “Slug Bugs”.
Just like Superman.
And the follow up.
What the heck is that behind the Model A? Is it a car carrier?
I don’t remember, and I don’t have any pictures of it.
That thing looks amazing. Part 5?
Someone else will have to do that. This is the last part I’m going to do for these two museums.
I have other car museums and car show pictures I can use for other Glibcar articles. I have been kicking around an article based on my trip to National Motor Museum.
Yaaaas! It’s one of these. Even car carriers were cooler in the oden days.
Nice find!

Those are Dodge/Plymouths, I think. We lived about a mile from the Ford Assembly plant in St Paul, we lived on the Mpls side of the river. We saw those 4 vehicle car carriers daily. At one time both my brothers worked in Ford assembly, circa 1953. 1 strung tail light wires, 1 carried hoods from Point A to Point B
“ When “Dukes of Hazzard” filming ended, there were 19 Chargers left of the 240 used for the series. ”
Scarcity makes value. Dammit. Why couldn’t they have driven a Chevette?
‘Cause then they would have been the Dukes of Water Hazard.
Hahahahha!
Um … that … did not look good.
An ambulance now. Fuuuuuuuck.
What happened?
Bills player got hurt REALLY badly. Took a hit, got up, took a couple of steps, then just flopped on the ground. Backboard and an ambulance. Administering CPR. Kid’s been down 10 mins.
ouch
This looks serious. I wouldn’t blame them for postponing the game.
I watched a soccer player collapse from a heart attack 10 years ago. I was just refreshing my memory of the incident and they said his heart was stopped for 78 minutes (!). (He survived but did not play again.)
The match was abandoned.
Both the Bills and Bengals are in the playoffs; this is just a matter of seeding, and of course affects some other AFC teams.
They’ll either have to reschedule their r agree on a tie.
I was looking forward to this one because Bills of course but also two very good teams.
Hit wasn’t that bad in force but might have been bad in location. Heart can stop if the chest hit in the right spot in the right time.
Game has been suspended.
That’s what I was thinking too. A hit at just the right place and at the right time of the heart cycle can cause cardiac arrest.
I am surprised they did CPR rather than an AED + CPR
I’ve read they did both. Also that he has a pulse but is not breathing on his own.
Buffalo defense person collapsed after a hit.
I wonder if the Bills still have that great team doctor who saved a player from paralysis years ago by running chilled saline through his veins immediately after his neck injury.
Looks like they got this player (Hamlin?) onto a backboard and out to the ambulance.
❤️ Bo and Luke Duke ❤️
Love the VW Bug.
Daisy Dukes enter the vocabulary.
I have to head out as I need to be up early. I’ll check back in the morning.
Thanks for all of these articles DEG. I have enjoyed them.
They left the Confederate flag on the Dukes of Hazzard car? And it’s still called the General Lee?? REEEEEE!!!!
Indiana, amirite?
I used to have an AMC Grand Wagoneer. I loved that truck. Just wanted to say that since, you’ve got Nashes in pics.
Also, love the series, DEG. And I’m not even a gear head.
Mammary Monday after dark.

I have a friend who owns a General Lee. Not sure the provenance, but it does have signatures of the original cast on the inside of the trunk.

They just announced the game will not resume tonight.
Good.
I am a heartless scumbag, but I’ve seen games where people were paralyzed on the field that resumed play in about a hour or so.
Mike Utley. Lions didn’t leave the field.
Couldn’t remember his name, but that’s the one that jumped to mind for me.
Ryan Shazier was paralyzed on this same field in 2016. Game resumed that night.
WR I was thinking of who died was in ’71, also a Detroit Lion.
Guys have died on the field, and play resumed.
I was going to make a joke about that REO truck, but it doesn’t appear to be a Speed Wagon.
Do it anyways. You know you can’t fight this feeling.
Give him a chance to put on the right gloves.
Same company, surely?
Of course it is. And stop calling him Shirley. Or don’t. I’m not your boss.
You’re not my supervisor!
Of course it is, but I didn’t recognize enough of tha band’s songs by title.
Ok, the rotary Mustang wins.
Thanks, DEG! This was a great series!
Watching the Winter Classic off my DVR and TIL that Charlie McAvoy of the Bruins is engaged to the daughter of the Penguins coach.
That’s some Montague and Capulet stuff right there.
I got 2 pounds of roasted and UNsalted mixed nuts for Christmas. Any ideas for making them edible? Do I just dunk them in a brine and then salt them and quick roast them? I suppose I could do a sugar or honey glaze.
I found this:
https://pantryandlarder.com/how-to-salt-unsalted-nuts/
If you didn’t live damn near 1,000 miles away I would exchange with you. My mother sent me 2 pounds of chipotle/honey glazed pecans. I prefer my nuts unsalted.
Must…not…snark…
STEVE SMITH GIVE YOU SALTY NUTS
My goodness. These recipes are giving 13 year old MikeS a coronary.
I’m going to wet myself.
Is there a taste to the caulk?
“No, you definitely don’t want to get the caulk in your mouth.”
“Well, speak for yourself, sir!”
ALOL
“So you’re saying the black caulk is unsanitary?”
Thanks for that. I went looking for a recipe to smoke my nuts 🤭 but it’s not recommended since they’ve been roasted already.
And chipotle/honey glazed pecans sound divine.
They are good. In very small doses.
I sent a bunch of these to family for the holidays:

The maple bourbon pecans are crack.
My goodness do they sound delicious.
Q’s Nuts? That’s a twist.
Smoking your nuts sounds like a Cheech and Chong skit.
Less shriveling?
“It shrinks?”
If you roast your nuts too much….
I’ve got some salted nuts for ya…
Opt for the Kirkland brand salted mixed nuts from Costco. It’s basically like the finale of Scarface where Al Pacino has his entire face stuffed into a pile of coke, only it’s salt.
Those are sweet cars. Thanks for the photos DEG.
I had to look up that Wankel Mustang. So Curtiss-Wright made the engine. I was curious if Ford made their own.

Excellent….
I was bored this weekend and randomly found this on Prime. It was a fun flick. Thought I’d throw it at you as a possible GlibFlick.
I think that’s a Svengoolie film. If not, I will add it. I have a few future apocalypse films in line next after Tinfoil Hat Thursdays.
What about Student Bodies?
I have been incredibly drained since my Firsting in of the New Year. Carrying The First That Shall Change Everything, waging a holy war against the anti-Bro (update coming soon), and pulling off death defying Firsts has taken its toll.
Have your nuts shrunk from too much roasting?
Did you see the First I scored in Chafed’s last GlibFit? It was epic!
I have foreseen all Firsts throughout all of Firstory with the third eye.
There were none from MikeS.
Mike S, you’re such a good firster. You reign in the firsting world..
A guy who calls himself Penguin online thinks you’re First.
So you got that going for you, MikeS.
Mike, would you first this asshole out of here?
I’mma go out on a limb and speculate Hamlin has an underlying heart condition and he got blasted in the chest some way that’s not obvious on the film.
Is he still alive?
Or, he was perfectly healthy and a fine athletic specimen until he got his ‘vid boosters
What? I learned it here!
“I learned it from you!”
My mind went there, but I decided to seek additional information. At first I wanted to ask for an autopsy, but realized he might not be dead.
Well, vivisection is a thing.
Seriously, though. The jab has taken a bunch of people out.
Don’t mention it may be the clot shot…
It might not be. It’s highly speculative, especially at this stage. But even if it turns out to be the heart and they can’t really explain it any other way, they definitely will never attribute it to the vaccines.
He most likely sustained commotio cordis. You read about it in medical textbooks but hardly ever see one where you know it happened. Basically it results from a blow to the chest directly over the heart at a critical time in the heart’s electrical cycle, resulting in an abnormal electrical signal (known as an R on T) that disrupts the cycle and sends a person into ventricular fibrillation, resulting in immediate cardiac arrest. If you can get to the patient immediately, start CPR, and defibrillate quickly, it is survivable with an excellent outcome. If there’s a delay you’re screwed. It sounds like they resuscitated him immediately and his heart is in a normal rhythm at this point. Now they’ll just have to wake him up and see how his neurologic status is.
They can’t wake him up while he’s intubated though, can they?
And per wiki on commotio cordis says that the survival rate has improved since 2012 due to the proliferation of AEDs, but it’s still just 58%.
I hope he makes it without too much lasting damage.
Yes, you can wake up an intubated patient and you should prior to attempting to extubate them (take the tube out). In fact, many ICUs are moving toward an awake intubated model as keeping your patient’s discomfort managed but them awake results in much better outcomes. My guess is they’ll keep him down overnight and then wake him up in the morning in order to evaluate his neurologic status. He’ll need to be following commands and showing that he can be ok off the tube before they’ll consider pulling it.
Even with AEDs and the fact that it tends to happen primarily to young healthy people, the survival still depends completely on starting CPR immediately. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had patients brought in whose friends and family just watched them laying there while waiting for the ambulance to arrive. By the time EMS starts on them, the patient is gone and we’re just going through the motions. On the other side, if good CPR starts immediately, the patient has a decent shot at making it, of course depending on exactly what put them down.
Thank you for the detailed explanation.
When my husband was intubated the day prior to his heart surgery (aortic valve replacement due to a strep infection) they had him sedated. He was going downhill fast at the time, so the moved the surgery to the next day instead of after the weekend.
Why do they hate us so much? Cause they want to be us?
I was scrounging around reddit (look-Im up all night with nothing to do) and found this joke:
“What do libertarians and house cats have in common?”
“They both act like they are independent and self sufficient but in reality are utterly dependent on a system they can neither appreciate nor understand.”
APPRECIATE? I’ve totally lose my ability to even.
So, whoever posted this doesn’t know what feral cats are and how easily a housecat can transform into one?
You haven’t ever been literally anally gang raped by a warlord’s posse, have you?
Thank the government.
Civilized robber barons do the raping around here.
They both descended from ferocious apex predators, and now, having to reluctantly tolerate civilization, they feel the urge to piss on things.
Ohhh….. I like this one.
Jokes that contain an explanation in the punchline aren’t jokes, aren’t good jokes anyway.

Good morning, Sean, homey, U, Stinky, Roat, and TO’G.
I stayed up way too late last night irrationally hoping for more updates about the hospitalized Bills player. Hope he pulls through.
Morning.
Buongiorno, signora GT!
Always delighted to see you, dear, but of course I always wonder – are you up late or up early?
¿Porqué no los dos?
I can’t say; I’m good at napping.

My Vic-20 was not the man of the year, that thing sucked. As for Jobs, who ever would have thought that he would turn out to be the lesser douchebag between himself and Mr. Gates? I mean sure, he didn’t shower regularly and he was a prickly perfectionist but he never got into population reduction and the various other weirdness Microsoft’s founder got into.

Finally got together with my sisters & BIL at a local restaurant (aside to homey: Bullwinkle’s, where I’ll be again tomorrow evening for belated staff holiday party) last night for our belated Christmas get-together. Cleverly handed gift to sister while BIL was distracted by his ribs, so didn’t see his reaction, if any. And now I have leftover fancy schmancy mac & cheese for lunch. 😋
belated Christmas
You made it in time. Today is the tenth day of Christmas.
Leftover Mac and Cheese?
In my defense, it WAS the full entree size.
Hmph.
Fair enough.
…and we’d all shared two potato skins appetizer platters beforehand.

Fancy schmancy Mac & cheese? What’s wrong with Velveeta?
Sometimes you want actual cheese.
When eating out with alleged grown-ups, one may not want to feel as if one ordered off the kids’ menu.
The employee coffee price in the cafeteria increased by 17 CENTS!
Across the board, or per unit price?
It’s the first thing I’ve bought this year. Price went from $0.51 to $0.68.
I don’t remember what the first thing I bought this year was, I’ve already gone and done stuff like grocery shopping and running errands.
New boots. Price has not changed.
Last time I got new boots I was confused for a moment when they asked if I wanted two copies of the receipt. Sadly, I couldn’t claim reimbursement and had to eat the costs out of pocket. (It was safety boots for blacksmithing class.
Still not a bad price. But if everything is up 33%, could be a problem.
Is it decent? Ours was meh but at least it was free.
They probably have one you’ll like. They have eight or nine drip variants. I’m fan of one of them. They will occasionally have yrgacheffe, but that hasn’t been around in a while.
Mornin’, reprobates.
It’s a New Year, time to say goodbye to the old, boring Patzer and bring on Patzer 2.0, rather rebellious little bastard who is not afraid to push the envelope and thumbs his nose at societal norms.

Happy New Year, ‘patzie! Next time, put your shoes on before you put on your socks.
Wow, new favorite covfefe. Opened a pound of Bali Blue Moon from the Ocean City Coffee Co and brewed a pot. Outstanding.
