Thanks for the shout out Bradley! Yes, we are clearing out the projects and the less unique cars, like the Alfa Spider.

As a Lane employee, I’ll also agree with The Savoy in Cartersville, GA. They recently had a few of our microcars on display. Nice collection. 

Except at the Lane, where 75% of the collection runs and drives, and we start up a propeller car every day. ;) 

If you want to see one in the flesh in the US, you’ll have to come to Nashville: https://www.lanemotormuseum.org/collection/cars/item/citroen-ami-2020

Correct. Came here to say that outside of say, us (Lane Motor Museum, with a large European car collection), who else would be able to use this car? Still a ND in my opinion. $21K can buy a lot more weird microcars.

I will pass along your info to our restoration team. The car hasn’t made it to the museum yet, and when it does, we will have to assess it and then map out a plan of action. In other words, it will be a few months before we delve into Sir Vival. Your Tucker experience will be an asset. We will be in touch! My email is …

If you’re ever in Nashville, come by Lane Motor Museum and we will hook you up. We have a Vespa 400 that runs, sort of, but it does run!

These concept vehicles used to live in Lane Motor Museum’s basement, as part of the Nissan heritage collection. A few years ago we had discussed with Nissan displaying them, but neither we or Nissan had room for them. This was inevitable and not really anything anyone could do legally. It would be great if they could…

Correct. The Titan and NV vans are made in Canton, and possibly something else. Maybe Armadas?

He’s great, and big on sharing and demonstrating the cars in the collection. We just got new tires for the LARC in 2018, so it can technically be driven again, but we’re not running over E30s with it anytime soon.

I would’ve mentioned the Corphibian, but we have never tested on the water yet. All we have is 8mm footage of it on a Michigan lake.

I love the design, but this is where I give an Amphicar more points: it’s easier to enter the water. I can totally see an amphibious Type 3 owner forgetting to bolt on the paddle wheels. With the Amphicar, the propellers are right there, ready to go. All one has to do is make sure the doors are latched, put it in…

I also grew up and still live in Cookeville (north of where this took place). I concur with your analysis. I’m only a few years older than these teenagers, and have driven this stretch late at night more than a few times. I’m glad the guardrail is there now, but it was obviously too many years too late.

As Torch and Jonee will probably attest, you really need to visit us when you get a chance. We also now have a nice Trojan 200, which were just rebadged Heinkels. Our Trojan is really purty even compared to the other restored microcars in the collection.

Thanks! And I’ve been here since 2015...just not as active lately, because Kinja is increasingly frustrating to use.

It was a bit butt-puckering there for a bit.

The Goliath is the only one in the stack that doesn’t run. We just winched it onto the Tissier, secured it, and drove around to the museum floor.

See above about the stacked trucks. See the Dymaxion? Torch drove it in 2015, and showed Jay Leno what is was in 2018!

Crap, I meant descending order. I was thinking smallest to biggest.

Yes, it is a Tissier! Good eye. And the bottom truck is a 1994 Tatra T-807. I posted the contents of this exhibit above, but here’s a quick video on how we Stacked them up:
