After our guided tour of San Sylmar we walked directly across the street to take a self-guided tour of the recently opened Nethercutt Museum. In the limited time available we skipped the rail car exhibit because we'd all seen the Railroad Museum in Old Town Sacramento. Even more than in San Sylmar, I photographed only a small sampling of the hundreds of beautiful automobiles. Most of the pictures are wide-angle shots taken from close up in the very limited space of roped-off aisles.
