Relocate to Chicago for added safety and security.
"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Sorry to learn that.  I'm so old, I remember when it opened. My folks started going down to Sarasota on vacations back in 1951 and eventually retired there. Back then, it was  Ringling Bros. Summer camp and I remember sitting in the stands as they filmed "The Greatest Show on Earth".  Sarasota was just a nice, sleepy little town on the TAMIAMI Trail. Now, it's "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous".

And this museum was "Hornes Cars of Yesterday" as I recall.

The vultures descended immediately after Ian and Maui disasters. Very valuable lands for speculators.

They have been there 70 years and lease the property still? A month-to-month lease? That does not sound like a very good business plan.
