Don't miss the CALIFORNIA AUTOMOBILE MUSEUM....the Start of a Great Adventure...
this summer, I discovered a delightful auto museum which re energized
a back burner passion of mine...classic cars...having once owned a snazzy
1957+4 British racing green Morgan, I seized the opportunity to view these classic

After my tour I mused, this is exactly the type of museum-operation I'd like to
share with our viewers..so if you're in the Sacramento area take the time & check out
this educational, family friendly fast track to the past of classic autos..for upcoming events,
