The park host here at Pinal County West Campground recommended that we visit The Dwarf Car Museum ( https://www.dwarfcarmuseum.com/, https://www.dwarfcarpromotions.com/) - she said it was only a couple of miles away and free -- so we checked it out on Friday. Wow!
 |
We found the turn off...
|
 |
We were surprised to find quite a number of visitor's cars in the parking lot (15 or so) -- we walked up to the shop building...
|
 |
... and inside to see dwarf cars!
|
 |
If there isn't someone standing next to them in the pictures, you might think they are restored old cars...
|
 |
... but they are 11/16 scale.
|
 |
This was in the "working shop" area...
|
 |
Back in the display area. You might notice that there are tons of things on the walls too...
|
 |
In one of the little side rooms, toy cars and lots of trophies.
|
 |
One of the items on a wall display - I guess at the store, you could open, reconstitute, and heat a can of soup. Note the list of available soups at the top... "Genuine Turtle" -- I don't remember ever seeing that variety in the Campbell's soups at the grocery store!
|
We headed outside to the things to see outside...
 |
A Farmall tractor (there was an information sign with it, but being outside, the Arizona sun had pretty much disintegrated it).
|
 |
Carl remembers using a roto-tiller something like this one ...
|
I took pictures of an article that was written back in 2012 -- it was under plexiglass at the place where the visitor's register was located, so you may see scratches that look like spider webs...
