Why build an automotive museum? Because one way or another, our lives are touched by the automobile. We remember our parents’ cars, the ones we traveled in with family, the ones we borrowed for our first car date, the first ones we bought. The fast cars, the junkers, the modified ones and the ones we rebuilt—all of them are tied to us in memory. We even dream of cars.
William E. Backer, former owner of Backer Potato Chip Company in Fulton, Missouri, looked back in time and found that a vintage automobile was a thing of fascination. His memories were of old country roads and two lane highways. Bill Backer was an engineer and a builder who loved to tinker. Having built a successful potato chip company, he looked back at the cars that were part of his childhood. Shortly after, he owned a Canadian 1924 Dodge Touring. Dark blue with black fenders and a cloth top. Bill drove his family around the back country roads of Callaway County, Missouri and felt himself touching fading memories.
Not long after he collected the Dodge, Bill had a 1909 Ford Model T. Soon after that, a 1930 Model A. Then a 1929 Cord, a 1931 Rolls Royce Phantom II, a 1957 Chevy Bel Air, and so on. By the mid 1990’s, the number of classic autos in the collection neared 100. Bill found a home for many of his classic cars in an old retail building in Fulton. The Auto World Museum Foundation was formed and a classic car museum was opened to the public. Ten years later, in 2006, the automobile museum was moved to its current home at 200 Peacock Drive in Fulton. It is a building dedicated to the history of vintage and modern automobiles as well as the history of Callaway County and Fulton, Missouri.
After his passing in 2008, his daughter, Vicki McDaniel, assumed leadership of the museum and the collection of cars. Since then, the collection of vintage autos has changed a little. However, her primary passion is for the presentation of antique cars and modern ones in a place that everyone can visit.
The presentation of cars and staging of the museum is the vision of Tom K. Jones, Artistic Director of TKJ Designs in Fulton, Missouri. His concept for the museum was a movement through time and a portrayal of the history of Callaway County, Missouri. Auto World Museum is a stage—a movement through history. Its deep black curtains, scenes from back when, panels of advertising and memorabilia will take you through a history of motion in time. At first, you will visit a period not that long ago, although some say 100 years is a long time. As you move in a clockwise direction through the museum, you will find enticing displays. The simplicity of family drives in the convertible. The decadence of Hollywood and its fancy cars. The sights and sounds of the drive-in as you watched from the comfort of your Studebaker or Corvair. You will ponder when gas prices were really, really low. Finally, you will find yourself nearing the future, with displays of alternative fuel vehicles.
Auto World Museum will spark your curiosity. We hope that you will find that our collection of vintage and modern automobiles fascinates you the way that it did Bill Backer. We hope you will continue the journey with us as we add to the collection over time. We would like to thank William Harrison for his dedication to the research on the autos in the museum.
¡No es fácil fotografiar y amar el resultado!
Probé por dentro, pero no pude enfocar bien. Seguí tu consejo Jackie, puse una caja en el lugar de mi cabeza, me enfoqué y pasé sus lentes MF en la lente, usé el autodisparador y obtuve instalada.
Así que salí, buscando un escaparate. y la altura es que era un hermoso día soleado (finalmente), yo estaba a la sombra y el fondo detrás de mí estaba sobreexpuesto, así que esperé a que cayera el sol.
Tuve que usar mi zoom a 155 mm porque de lo contrario me encontré con las ramas desnudas de un árbol justo encima de mi cabeza, no muy estéticas. Obligado a ir a ISO 800 porque estaba en la sombra y el brillo cayó con el sol.
Postraitement necesario porque la foto original es muy oscura.
En estas fotos quería mostrar que estaba extremadamente frío, ¡nunca podría sobrevivir en casa, Jackie!

Ich hatte ein wenig Zeit und habe mir den BMW i4 mal von Innen angesehen .. 😎👍
I had a little time and took a look at the BMW i4 from the inside .. 😎👍
This is the Western Auto parts store located at 238 Main Street in downtown Whitesburg, KY. It originally opened in 1947 as the very first auto parts store in Whitesburg (as well as Letcher County, KY in general), and is still the only major business since the days of long ago to have always remained in operation in downtown Whitesburg (local or otherwise).

Race cars and drivers after the Auto Club 400 at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana California. Both vehicles and drivers tired after 400 miles of racing.
MOC: Auto Service. A modern interpretation of the classic set 646 by the same name.
The roof lifts off for better access to the rear compartment. With a bit of clever packaging and fiddling around, it does all fit without blocking the doors.
Ultimamente não tenho gostado de nenhuma foto que eu tiro,então resolvi postar uma foto minha mesmo. A primeira,por sinal. rs
Share Auto - Very economic mode of commutation to travel inside Hyderabad. The cost is not meter based but a fixed charge which is very less and cheap, say like Rs 5 for approx 3 kms per head. Since its per head basis its gives the driver extra profit. To acheive a better profit margin, majority of the drivers pack their vehicles with a number 7 exclusive of the driver. Even though this is very dangerous and not legal, its a very common thing here in Hyderabad.
Guess what, today I see this while going through the streets of Hyderabad. Instead of humans, I see goats even in the drivers seat.
Share auto's at its best...
