LeMay – America’s Car Museum

• CATEGORIES: Features, Museums This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Last month LeMay – America’s Car Museum (ACM) opened its downtown Tacoma location.  The location can hold up to 350 vehicles, many from the LeMay collection, but others are there, too, making it one of the world’s largest automotive museums.  However, as Ann pointed out, it isn’t so much a museum as a gallery.

The building complex is four levels and uses a parking garage as its organizational metaphor.  Visitors begin on a main, very spacious area with curved wooded beams that have a nice warmth.  As you walk slightly upwards on this main floor, the vehicles at the pinnacle are a Dusenburg and a Tucker.  As I’ve mentioned, I always wanted to see a Tucker in person and I wasn’t disappointed.  Fortunately, the car is positioned so you can walk around the entire vehicle, unlike most of the vehicles.

Once the first level is complete, visitors can walk down ramps as they begin the descent into the garage portion.  A ramp leads to a flat floor, then another ramp leads down further until the bottom floor is circled.  At that point, visitors begin ascending  the other side with another set of ramps that lead back to the surface.

My main goal of this trip was to see the Tucker and explore the museum.  I didn’t expect to see any jeeps, because my last review of the museum’s online records didn’t indicate there were any.  However, on one of the underground floors we were pleasantly surprised when we spotted the familiar WW2 grille.  Unfortunately, as we got closer, I discovered this was a poor example of a jeep.  Even the sign said the vehicle was “titled a 1945 MB, but made with parts from 1941-1944”.   Problems with this included a passenger side fender had lots of rust underneath (not evident in the pics).  Brackets were welded on to the rear and sides of the body.   There was no windshield.

Despite the jeep experience, the museum is beautiful with a large number of mostly American cars.  Poor Ann had to listen to my occasional frustrations about how the museum was missing opportunities to educate and entertain people.  She bore my rants well, as usual. Guess that’s why I’m marrying her 🙂

Note, due to the low light and the banning of tripods, Ann had to use her cell phone to take pictures, so these aren’t as good as usual.

1950 M-38 Pleasant Grove, UT eBay

• CATEGORIES: M-38 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

One of the unusual features of this is a tag indicating is was worked on in Japan at an Ordinance rebuild shop.

“This vehicle was found behind a warehouse in February 2010. The owner claimed it had not run over 4 years. I could only find two identification tags on the entire vehicle. One tag located on the engine stated it was rebuilt by the “Japan Ordinance Command”. The other tag was a vin tag from a 1953 M38A1. Based on the body and engine type I am confident it is not an M38A1. I did a title search and obtained a clear title for the vehicle. I do not know the actual year of the vehicle

Mechanical: After rebuilding the carb and fuel pump, I was able to get the jeep started. It ran pretty rough and I determined one of the valves were stuck. Instead of just replacing the bad valve, I decided to tear down the entire engine and send it to a machine shop. The shop ground the rod journals .10 over and mains .20 over. The cylinders were fine so I just put new rings in it. Overall the engine has new bearings, rings, and a few of the valves replaced. The engine has been reinstalled, but there are still several parts that need to be reinstalled. Overall the cost of the rebuild and parts were approximately $800.00. The vehicle still has the stock transmission, transfer case, and axles.

Based on past experience trying to stop an old Willys, I decided to purchase a whole new disk brake and dual master cylinder system. Overall, I spent $600.00 on these parts which include: brake calipers, brake pads, rotors, dual master cylinder, caliper mounting bracket, assorted bolts and hoses. I have not installed or modified the braking system since purchasing the new parts I also purchased a new rebuild kit for the steering box for about $150.00.

Misc: The tub and body parts were covered in a black bed liner when I first purchased the vehicle. I striped most of the bed liner off of the exterior with a wire bell. There is a small rust hole under the drivers side seat that has been patched with steel. The jeep has bias ply stock sized tires with good tread, plus a spare. The jeep comes with some old CJ lowback bucket seats. I also have two gas tanks for the vehicle. One is the military version that I used a restoration kit on to remove the rust and seal it. I also have a new gas cap for the military tank. The second tank is from what I think is a civilian CJ3A.

Reason for selling vehicle: I finally came to the conclusion that my progress on this project over the past two plus years has not been very promising. As much I as I love the idea of restoring a historic military vehicle, I do not have the time or resources to finish it correctly.”
