It's private property and I didn't feel comfortable wandering into the place without permission, but some day hope to get the green light and check it out thoroughly.   The quarry is still engaged in the dangerous business of crushing and breaking rock and is a hard hat zone.

This doesn't detract from some of the vehicles it has on display, like these trucks, many of which seem pretty uncommon....

There were a few small cars around, like a VW bug, and—can it be—that faded red car may be a 1950s DKW Cabriolet.
