The Cussler Museum (Of Rare & Classic Automobiles)

   American Author & Undersea Adventurer Clive Cussler (1931 - 2020), familiar to many for a series of Techno-Thrillers featuring the character Dirk Pitt, left a legacy of not only eighty terrific novels and sixty or so recovered shipwrecks, but also a fantastic collection of fully restored classic automobiles.

   Some of these classic automobiles were featured in his literary works, and some were just incredible works of automotive art and craftsmanship that he (and his family & friends) passionately believed were worth preservation. 

   The collection is housed in quite possibly the most non-descript building imaginable for such an incredible collection, off Indiana & 69th in west Arvada.

   If you are automobile buff there is little doubt in my mind that you are aware of this wonderful place and duly appreciate it. If you are not an automobile buff you might want to skedaddle on over for a visit as it will alter your perception of what can be considered sculptural art. 

                   As evidenced by the sign, only two more days this year to visit the museum
