At 2:50 p.m. – The LeMay Classic Car Museum
The world's largest collection of 20th century classic cars is located in South Tacoma. It is the life's work of a garbage man. Harold LeMay began hauling salvage vehicle in the 1940's and slowly amassed more than 800 cars. Megan Sukys takes a tour of the current home of the collection, near Spanaway, with Dominic Dobson. He is the Chief Advancement Officer of the LeMay museum. But, the collection isn't just about gas guzzling super–tankers. In an archive from March 7, 2008, we check out a two of the most innovative vehicles of the last 100 years.
