The Bruce Weiner Bubble Car Museum- Madison Ga

Here's my brother Bill's personal mini car, an example of which they had in the museum, It's a Fiat, between 61 and 62 if I remember correctly, and this is in front of our grandparents house in San Diego Ca. My sisters are in front, brother Dan in the shotgun seat, think that's me in the left background. Note the racy convertable top!!!
This is one of the coolest places we've been in a while! The curator, Bruce Weiner, is the former owner of the Double Bubble gum company, among other things, and as a hobby first, then a passion, collects and restores examples of "bubble cars" or mini cars. There are over 300 cars on display, and thousands of models, toys, and memorabilia on display in his immaculate showroom. Cost $5.00 each for Bette and I to tour, and I got a pin to boot. This is the third try to visit the museum, and it was worth the wait!
