Known as "Florida's First Coast," this area offers miles of uncrowded beaches available for horseback riding, biking, driving or just relaxing. Part of each year shrimp boats mark the horizon and dolphins play among the waves. Historic St. Augustine, was founded in 1565 more than 50 years before the first Pilgrims came to New England. Much of the historic district has been restored providing a fascinating insight to life from this era.
Encompassing Atlantic beaches as far south as Flagler County and inland rural communities west to Palatka, the region offers travelers timeless adventures through mysterious 17th-century forts, vast prairie lands and more than 20 miles of pristine beaches lined with sand dunes along the Atlantic coast.
The Tampa Bay Automobile Museum features a unique collection of vintage vehicles, including pioneering front wheel drive and rear engine cars from the 1920's and 1930's. Each vehicle was chosen based on the engineering achievements that made it an important part of the evolution of the automobile, setting the standards for the engineering of automobiles today. Visitors enjoy a provocative blend of art and science in 12,000 square feet of gallery space.
The history of the automobile is one of the greatest showcases of man’s
creativity and imagination. The collection of the Tampa Bay Automobile
Museum in the Tampa Bay area of the west central coast of Florida is
perhaps one of the most succinct statements of that premise to be seen
anywhere. Housed in the museum galleries are many of the finest early
approaches to aerodynamic shapes and packaging, front wheel drive and
rear engine-rear drive engineering, unibody construction, pioneering
uses of materials like cast aluminum, pressed steel and more.
The collection additionally presents the concept
and history of shared technology and trade in the early twentieth
century through the presence of the Tracta
front drive system on a variety of makes, Daimler’s sleeve valve engine
driving a variety of European and American cars and the American Budd
Corporation’s patented pressed steel methods appearing on both sides of
the Atlantic.
If you are a Vintage Car buff, this will be a thrill of a lifetime...
