    I just visited it yesterday and it is a nice car museum, just in the middle of no where. It has about 40 cars on display and in Gateway Colorado which is 5 hours away from Denver and an hour away from Grand Junction. The F-88 Concept car which was the highlight of the whole museum just wasn't that appealing in terms of fit and finish. Enjoy!

    No, that is Alan Lewenthal which is the bidder for John Hendricks which is the owner of the museum. John Hendricks is also the founder of Discover Channel.

    I didn't see a Howard Hughes 1953 Buick, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't have it since there are more cars some where else. Thanks for clearing that up Rickenbach.

    His shop(where his company restores cars) is RIGHT next to a family members work place. I have met him before and talked to him, he's very nice. He has a 1960's Rolls, among MANY others.
