When one visits the Luray Caverns in Luray, Virginia (see http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-319332-1.html ), one's entry fee also grants admission to the Luray Car & Carriage Museum, which holds some 140 vehicles, including a Conestoga Wagon, an electric car from 1908, AutoWagons from Sears, Roebuck and International Harvester, a Stanley Steamer, sleighs, a milk truck, a paddy wagon and more.

Nice shots! Thanks for posting.
We haven't been there since 1963; I don't think they had the Auto Museum then.
