The Nethercutt Museum

 A friend told us about a cool museum in Sylmar so we made reservations and had a fun all day date on Saturday.  It was a long drive but well worth it.  The founders of Merle Norman Cosmetics had more money that they knew what to do with so they have this amazing collection of cars, giant music boxes, figurines, etc.  The cars are used in the Rose Parade for the Grand Marshall.  It was a great day!

 This was the first $20,000 car in the 30's!  It was gorgeous

 Can you imagine white tires?!!!

 The museum was made to replicate a car showroom from the 20's and 30's!  It was gorgeous.

 I loved all the colors of the cars!

We toured the train with it's private rail car.  Now that was quite the way to travel!
