Looks like a very interesting place. The museum's website, unfortunately, does not provide a lot of detail about the exhibits. However, I found this: https://www.globalphotos.org/nagoya-city05.htm Apparently, Franklin Roosevelt's Packard Twelve ended up here.

The museum does have a little info in Japanese and English in front of the cars and on the walls. And like the Mercedes Museum in Stuttgart or the Petersen in Los Angeles, the building itself is also very well designed.

There is a rhythm to train travel that is different. This is especially true when you are taking a train for a long distance. I recently took a round trip excursion on Amtrak’s Auto Train. And it immediately reminded me why I enjoy train travel...

  A new Harris Poll tells us what we must have known. Beyond cruises and flights, the classic road trip is still the popularity winner for U.S. vacationers, with 71% planning some sort of road trip this summer.   The poll, based on 2215 U.S....

Americas Car Museum in Tacoma, Washington is going to hold a road rally for classic car fans in December called "the Drive Home." Three classics cars, a 1957 Chevrolet Nomad, a 1961 Chrysler300g and a 1966 Ford Mustang will...

  Today, I'm going to review a real neat museum that holds one of my favorite cars, the Tucker 48  or, as advertised, the Tucker Torpedo.                          ...

DrFumblefinger's fine article on the Tampa Auto Museum got me thinking about another Florida auto museum I've been to, the Tallahassee Auto Museum. I'll review it on Monday. One of the main attractions there is the the Tucker. For a lot of car...

Travel Rob visits one of the world's best auto museums, featuring one of the world's best-selling brands.

Italy's luxury car brand is planning to open its third car-themed amusement park in China, joining parks in Abu Dhabi and Spain.

Thank you Jonathan L. Great Info! I've been wanting to take the Auto Train for years and I really needed a report on what to expect.

Great report, Jonathan! I guess I live a sheltered life in the west, because I'd never even heard of this train route before. It intrigues me. Something to include on a snowbird journey to Florida someday.

Terrific collection! Visiting this museum is almost enough to make me want to travel to the City of Angeles again.

Travel Rob takes another look at one of the great auto museums of the world, the Petersen in Los Angeles.

I believe seeing a few of those 1968 Volkswagen Type 2 Single Cab Pick Ups while stationed in Germany in 1970. Though being stationed in Germany once again with the US Army from 1990 until 2006 it was very rare to ever see a Pickup Truck there. Instead, most had wheeled carts that they attached to their cars when needed to haul large cargo.

DrFumblefinger features a collection of interesting old car hood ornaments, these from the Dahl Auto Museum in Wisconscin.

Jonathan L explores Mount Desert Island, Maine

I went to Bar Harbor in the 1970s and loved it. It wasn't so touristy then and I don't recall there being any cruise ships. Great photos.

This was my first trip in 50 years. The only cruise ship was the ferry to Yarmouth

For a number of years in the late 70s and early 80s, we used to vacation at a campsite at Somesville, mid-island and were often in Bar Harbor. It had tourist shops then, but on a brief visit two summers ago, it seemed to have nothing but... On the other hand, the cruise ships are on the way out; the town first imposed a limit and now has banned them. I was on a Viking cruise last October that had planned to call at Bar Harbor and was diverted to Eastport because of the limit. If Bar Harbor...
