Deer Park Winery & Auto Museum
Escondido, California
Car Shows and Cruise-Ins are being held at Wineries across the states, but this is the first Auto Museum I've heard about that is permanently located at a Winery. Lois, a friend from high school, her husband and other family members visited the Deer Park Winery & Auto Museum in Escondido, CA and shared her photos online. Thank you for allowing me to share your photos, Lois and Andy!

The Auto Museum
The world renown Deer Park Auto Museum tells the story of Americana, centered around a century of automobile production that changed our nation, starting with the carriages of the 1800's through the muscle cars of the 1970's. Featured in the over three buildings of the collection are the "Orphan Cars:" the Studebakers, Packards, Pierce Arrow, and countless others. Laugh at the 3-wheeled Messershmitz auto, the "Mad Man Muntz" mobile, the ill-fated "toilet seat" Edsel and the "unsafe at any speed" Corvair. For real speed, see the Parnelli Jones Indy race car.
