a quick run through the upstairs racecars was all I had before the Mullin Museum closed, I'll be back to get better photos

For a much better gallery, because she doesn't take as long to photograph each car, see Justacargal's galleries http://justacargal.blogspot.com/search/label/Mullin%20Museum

1922 Bugatti type 23 Brescia

raced in 19 of 23 Indy races, more than any other racecar, and once owned by Charles Bronson, this Harry MIller and Earl Cooper 1927 racer has pedigree and history

1911 Hispano Suiza "Alphonso XIII" 45 CR Voiturette, a race car with patina that has cracked in the past 100 years

from the company known for making taxis in France in the 1910-1930's... this terrific race car came, the 1924 Chenard and Walker roadster

 I love to find cool new gauges, and these are unlike any I've seen before

 A barometer, or an altimeter? To adjust the carbs for rich or lean?

 The speedo, tach, and gas gauges are incredible...

 Litres d' Essence wow, what a great language!

1946 Delage D6 factory Grand Prix race car that consistantly placed 2nd from 1947-1949 in various Gran Prix and 24 hours of LeMans

I ran out of time, and just grabbed these two shots when they announced they were closing, and I still had the entire upper floor to look at... the Mullin Museum closes at 3 in the afternoon... be sure to get there when they open so you have as much time as possible.. they have so much to look at, and if you are as slow and methodical at drooling over cool old cars as I am, you need the whole day.

1923 Avoin Voisin factory research race car, the C6 Laboratoire, simply a most amazing innovative and obscure try at a racecar from airplane engineers

 Quite odd looking, maybe the strangest I can recall ever seeing

 Why it has a prop on the nose, I'd only guess that it's for airspeed. Boardtrackfan commented that he thinks its for a water pump

 and I was astonished to see it has the actual "Windscreen" that I've only heard of but never seen before

Click on the above gauges and get a good look at the full size... those are pretty unusual

 and a square-ish steering wheel... boardtrackfan reminded me that this isn't so uncommon, it's so the driver has a better view when driving straight, and more legroom

  here is the big indication of the aeroplane style engineering they brought to their race car... cable brakes. But not connected to the brake pedal, this is independant front and back brakes for a racing advantage
