It’s definitely a “forbidden fruit” car for me....so much want, but I know I shouldn’t buy one under any circumstance whatsoever. 

Nashville, Tennessee. Opening April 18th.

Speaking of Citroën, the company will be celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, and, holding the largest museum collection of Citroëns in the US, we will be having a small exhibit this year celebrating that fact. Yes, I know what a shameless plug is.

Note on the Nissan Rasheen...they are great little SUVs, but they are a bit of a dog to drive on the interstate. Good city car. The museum’s is an automatic, which I am sure doesn’t help.

Or, if you’re ever in Nashville, you can drive ours: https://www.lanemotormuseum.org/collection/cars/item/mg-metro-6r4-1985 

We utilize a registered importer (again, I don’t know their name). As for a private citizen trying to import a car under Show and Display, I am not sure how they get past the EPA requirements. We don’t intend to drive these cars past the museum grounds, and when we do, as in the case of this Nano, we utilize a dealer…

I’ve forgotten the name of the importer we used (we use a different one now). There are many vehicle importers along the East and West coasts. The lack of OBDII didn’t have any bearing on the importation. I don’t think that was mentioned in the exemption.

True about its production numbers and its exclusion from the general Show and Display list, so we had to file for an exemption under the Show and Display exemption. In other words, we had to get an exemption for an exemption for this specific VIN. It involved a lengthy process to provide US Customs with extensive…

It definitely will baby. And in addition to hauling the instruments, it would hold an entire symphony. LARC FTW

Tissier FTW!

The Volt’s on board generator does not have a governor. It will easily do 75-80 mph in either fully electric or with the gas generator kicked in.

Very similar boat here, especially #1 and #2. But that third car would really help take miles off of my main commuter, especially if its in a car that is highway-worthy, and not a weekend toy. Decisions, decisions..

I drive a 2014 Beetle (with the 1.8L turbo, which replaced the 5 cylinder mid-model year) 150 miles per day. I had an older Civic, and I have found this to be like other water cooled VWs I have owned: comfortable, peppy enough, and fairly good fuel economy (low 30s). I looked for a TDI but they kept being sold before…

As someone who has a weird affinity for US market VW Foxes, I have to have that Saveiro in my life. Also, I agree that the CrossFox would sell like hotcakes here in the US.

Except for the Rasheen and a few older rear-engined Skodas, Lane Motor Museum surprisingly doesn’t have these models. Thanks for the suggestions!

My father had a used royal blue ‘57 Bel Air convertible in the mid 1960s. At the time, it was just a nice used convertible, like a Chrysler Sebring of the day. It was even stolen at one point and taken over state lines (he had to get an FBI agent involved), but it was retrieved. As someone who is a fan of the styling…

That is literally the first thing Jeff and I thought of. But our Stalwart hasn’t been ran in a few years now, so we didn’t want to risk sinking another museum car.

Agreed. We were betting it would land on its wheels, horrified to think it landed on its windshield, and worried again when they found it on its tail end. I am amazed the tailights didn’t even get a crack. Must have landed softly onto the mud.

When I said it’s true, I meant that I agree with you...it’s not heroic in any way, shape, or form. We just wanted our broken car out of the lake.
