Vehicles from four museums in Auburn. At the Kruse Automotive and Carriage Museum (www.kccmuseum.org) the tug-o-war continued. Alan was enamored of the Batmobiles and other TV-Movie related vehicles (Neil had no idea what Alan was getting off on) and Neil was drawn to the Concord Coaches, which Alan found to be hopelessly antique.
