The Car Side of the War Eagles Air Museum

Lest you think that the War Eagles Museum is solely about aircraft, today and Friday we take a look at some of the classic automobiles in this amazing collection. Here you’ll see everything from the Auburn 851 Speedster (affectionately called the “Boat Tail” Auburn) to classic T-series MGs to Rolls Royces, tail-finned Caddies, and even an early Newport Pagnell DB-series Aston Martin (a 1962 DB-4).

If you love cars, you’ll love the pictures for today and Friday:

And the War Eagles Keep on Coming

Continuing with that road trip in the roadster from last week, we once again stumble amongst the classic aircraft on view at the War Eagles Air Museum.

Hope you’re not yet tired of seeing all these great vintage aircraft. I know I never get tired looking at them.

One note of interest reference the inverted gull wing you see on the Voight F4U Corsair (of Baa Baa Black Sheep/Pappy Boyington fame) — that interesting design feature had absolutely nothing to do with aerodynics and everything to do with providing enough ground clearance to keep that massive propeller from hitting the ground.
