The Ford Barn

I'm stuck in West Palm for a couple days waiting for our line trucks to come back from Bahamas. Are there any good Ford antique places/museums to visit here? I'm at the Marriott on Springer island. Would love to get outta here for awhile.

Thanks,
Chris

Here are 4 places not too far from Singer Island.
They are worth the drive.

A few years ago while in town I visited a vintage car museum on Dixie Hwy that was originally an old Cadillac dealership. Classic cars were also on sale outside, and a '50s dinner was to be restored across the street. Not sure if they are still there, but it was well worth the time.

Go up to Stuart and the Elliot Museum. It isn't far from you and you will enjoy the Model A display. It really is nice!

The Don Garlits Museum is in Ocala, Fl....from West Palm Beach a mere 480 mile round trip.

The Elliott Museum in Stuart Beach is significantly closer, about 90 miles round trip.

You could hit the American Muscle up in Melbourne, FL and stop at the Elliott either on your way north or on your way back, make a nice day trip out of it.

There is a fantastic "Gentlemans Club" on the west side of town. Not far from a IHOP. One of the best prime ribs I have ever eaten was there. Also good entertainment on hand.
