A Chapter Book for Car Lovers.
This time the duo is headed to a motor museum to see funky cars. Modeled after the author's own experiences at the Lane Motor Museum, Nashville, TN.
Do not forget to fill gas and pay the bill. If you have made it all the way to the end, there is a game for you to play. Good luck!

===============
Tried our hand at sand painting for the cover design. Car number 35 has a funny exhaust.
Chapter 1. The bus to the Lane Motor Museum. The side window shows the destination "Lane".
Gerald and Piggie are waiting at the bus stop.
It arrives. They get on board and each have a window seat. The driver has a blue uniform.
On reaching the museum, the first exhibit they encounter is an Ice Race Car.
This one is modeled after the 1966 Citroen Ice Race Car - an actual exhibit at the museum. Visit www.icerace.com if you would like to explore.

A race car.
Not sure why these wheels look as they do. Wonder if that makes them go faster!
Ah, the Eskimo Car.
The original 1942 Tatra Prototype Aeroluge. In 1939 when Germany invaded Czechoslovakia, they ordered output from the Tatra factories. For war use only.
Here's the original design in case you are curious.
Chapter 2. These funny shaped cars are keeping Gerald and Piggie busy.
Now those marks up top -- they are not doodles as you would think. They are prototypes hanging from the wall - some with propellers.
And this one has a propeller - the one Gerald and Piggie loved!
They take pictures.
It is time to head home. They have now managed to get a car (even though they boarded a bus to the museum) and decide to fill up fuel at the Sunoco pump. The black machine is for the credit card. Regular - 87. Diesel - 88. Which one do you want to fill?
Start pumping the gas.
Here is the receipt. They filled 87 gallons (phew!!!!) at pump no. 68. Are you ready to take their money?
We are wondering whether the index of a book goes on the first or last page. Will let you know after our research.

And now that you have come so far, join Gerald for a game.
Click on any of the buttons labeled 1 through 8 and you will see a funny car from the Lane Motor Musuem. Good luck!
