Celebrity Car Museum, Branson (Part 2)

This is the second and final installment featuring cars I enjoyed from my visit to the Celebrity Car Museum in Branson, Missouri.  My first post on this site discussed the background of the museum, so we’ll get right into looking some more cars, like the dramatically modified VW-based Shala-Vette shown above, featured in the movie Deathrace 2000.

While it’s not pretty, every fan of Breaking Bad will recognize this beat-up 1992 Buick Century, which belonged to Mike.
