We had a wonderful trip to Auburn and seeing all of the old "movie star" cars that expressed both elegance, luxury, and sometimes depicted crime in those old movies.  It was spectacular to see such works of mechanical art.  GO if you get the chance.  You will love it.  Talk about Yang Ch'i...it was simply over the top.
