6/16/12 9:30am - Visiting the Seal Cove Auto Museum.

Very cool little museum from the Brass Era of cars and motorcycles (1890-1920). A large collection of rare Thomas cars and motorcycles, plus a car with an exhaust-powered music player - I'd never seen anything like that in my life...










Music box powered by exhaust pressure - the first car radio, sort of.











First bike to use the overhead Tank design... every bike has been the same since.




First ever four-cylinder motorcycle, 1912.


Everything leaked in the museum  : )




Cars were much cooler back in the day...the detailing was crazy.







No brakes, no clutch...good luck. Thomas Flyer was an appropriate name.







First car with a radiator...sort of.  1904 Knox.
