1922 Reading Standard V-Twin
Reading Standard was a relatively minor manufacturer, and only a handful of machines exist today. This machine was located in Mexico and restored here in this museum. Reading Standard never competed in racing and therefore was not as popular as Harley Davidson, Indian or Excelsior. Because of this, their sales were poor and production ceased in 1924. The paint color is a unique mahogany dark brown.

Up close and personal with the 1927 Ford Model T Depot
This Model T comes from the vehicle collection of racing legend Carroll Shelby. Being a post-1926 model year, this Model T is fitted with an electric starter, which became a standard feature on all models and not an extra.
