POWELL COUNTY MUSEUM

DEER LODGE, MT

1934? Chrysler Airflow Perhaps the least successful car of the 1930s. Aerodynamic with unitized construction, few buyers were ready for this. The Montana Auto Museum has pretty poor lighting and cars are displayed like in a parking garage. Still, they have some really nice cars.

1958 Edsel Citation four door hardtop Montana Auto Museum, Deer Lodge. Cars are packed in tight and not well lit.
1935 Diamont T Judging from the dim light I'll guess I took this picture at the Montana Auto Museum in Deer Lodge. This museum is in part of an old prison complex with a reputation for being haunted. I arrived late in the day and didn't get to do the prison tour.
