Elizabeth BoatmanI recently discovered the Nethercutt Collection, a wonderful display of antique cars. It’s been ages since I left home to explore the wide world, so I was eager to drive to Sylmar, even if it meant facing the traffic on the 210 freeway. The destination was well worth the effort. What a treasure! I’m still editing photos, but I wanted to post a preview of the beauty to come.

But wait, there’s more. The roadster is a two-seater, but it can handle a third person if he’s daring enough to ride in the back
For a bit more luxury, how about this Lincoln?
This car is probably just the thing for going to the Met Gala, but I prefer the peppy Roadster featured above.
As I said, this post is just hints at the glorious items featured in the Nethercutt Collection. Be sure to check back for part two. Meanwhile, please click here for more images from this initial look at my latest adventure.
