This is the most IMPORTANT Model Car Hobby video on UA-cam. Thank you for doing this, Tim! This place, no matter where it is located. Is so important to our hobby. It NEEDS to LIVE ON!
Very well said Luks Cee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For sure Luka!

That is awesome. Thanks for doing this video, I'd probably never see this otherwise. We have a club member that passed away, Barry Fadden, and two of his builds are in the museum. Thanks again Tim!!
Thank you Jason, so glad you enjoyed the tour..... Oh wow, even though Barry has passed it's an honor to know someone who has models there. For Barrys family and friends his modeling can still be remembered!!!
I knew that yellow '32 Chevy Roadster pickup looked familiar.

Amazing coverage Tim on the model car museum. Wonderful coverage. So many awesome builds. I remember when i started building model cars in 1968 I would read either Model Car or Model Car Journal and they would feature a builder named Dave Shulkis. In fact i thought i may have seen one of his builds a metallic blue custom '40 Ford in one of the large display cases. He was quite an inavator of working convertible tops and opening doors. He left us all to soon. Thanks again for taking the time to video the many pieces of our model car history.
So very true Chris, Dave was a great builder who left us too soon. Really glad to hear you liked the video as I tried hard to give the feeling that you were there!
If your ever in the Salt Lake area make sure to visit the Model Car Museum.
Awesome place !
Lots of history in some of those cars .
WOW , BEAUTIFUL.
Thanks .

I agree Mike, so glad you enjoyed the Tour!

Awesome video about this museum full with car jewels, Tim. Nice lookaround.

I must congratulate whoever dusts all those open shelf models, hard work to keep ahead of that!
So very true Don!!!!!!!!!!
Lots of cool 😎 model cars 👍
I agree Brian. 🙂 If your ever in Salt Lake City, Utah that's another museum you could visit/film! 👍
@@THROTTLEPOWER I’ll have to remember that. I’ll be driving through 👍
@@SomeplaceOrAnother 👍👍🙂
It's really cool. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed!
Nice treat Tim. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed!!!
Awesome video and tour Tim I believe this place is in Sandy Utah got to take a trip there thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Cool, you will really enjoy the visit!!!! 🙂
Great video and coverage of the museum, I was happy to see my 67 Chevelle at time marker 28:22 in the Project Chevelle of the Town of Newburgh Model Car Club. (I built the factory stock, new car). Sadley to say that some of the people that worked on that project are no longer with us.
Oh wow, you built that Chevelle, very cool!!!! Yes, time is moving way too fast and we are losing a lot of great builders. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Very cool place, I felt like a kid getting all excited watching this video.. Nice job Tim 😎👍
Good to hear Jimmy because I felt the same way too........ 👍🙂✌😊
What an amazing video Tim. The sheer volumes of history stored in that building is phenomenal. Thank you for taking us inside to view such history. I’ve been slowly buying old paints, supplies etc. just because of the history. I think my 2 favorites has to be the Sunoco Camaro and the Revell 1/4 scale engines. I truly wish AMT & Revell would bring out all the craftsman parts packs. Thanks again Tim.
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed!!!!
Very Very cool museum Tim and thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you Shawn, so glad you enjoyed!! Was wondering if you had ever been there?
@THROTTLE POWER no sir I've never seen but would love to
Great to finally see a video showing what’s on display here. Glad your visit didn’t interrupt his phonecall and conversations, he really didn’t initially seem keen to show you around. 😬 Pity that so many builders don’t have any credit for their work, I guess if the details have been lost nothing can be done.
Love the library, I could spend a week in there.
I would love to spend a week in there too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice tour.
Thank you very much
Thank you Charlie so glad you enjoyed the Model Car Museum tour!
Amazingly cool! Thanks Tim.
Thank you Rick, so glad you enjoyed!
@@THROTTLEPOWER I'd like to spend about a week in each room & about a month in the library.
@@rickzinck9326 Me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!
G'day Tim, thanks for the video mate that was cool seeing that. It's the closest I will ever get to seeing it as I live in Australia lol
Thank you Tye, so glad you enjoyed.
Nice museum, looks like most modelers dream man cave.😊
It really is David!!!! 🙂 👍 😊
Great video, Tim. Several of those cars I remember seeing in a Mag at one point.
Very cool, so glad you enjoyed!!
My Pop's was just telling me about this place. Gonna send him to your channel, he's really big in the model scene. He's pretty well known in the Detroit area and parts of the country.
Oh wow, cool!!!!!!!!!!!
Very good sir !
So glad you enjoyed the tour.... 👍🙂
So cool!!
Thank you Matthew, so glad you enjoyed the vid!
Very cool video.👍👍
Thank you John, so glad to hear you enjoyed it!!!! 🙂👍
Awesome tour Tim. I had no idea this museum existed here in Salt Lake. I will have to go check it out. It definitely looks cool.
Cool, I think you will really enjoy it!
I was just thinking the same thing. I had no idea this was so close!
@@apexhobbies Cool!!!!!
Model Car Museum!? Wholy Halter Top's Batman, I never knew there was such a thing.
Hope you enjoyed the tour Kenny. I tried to film it as you were there!
Enjoyed
Glad you enjoyed!!!
Belle vidéo 👌 😉
Thank you Alain, so glad you enjoyed the tour. 👍 🙂
Awesome to see the Oakland diorama. The pearl white (with ruby red scallops that don't show in the video) '60 Impala at the back of the right column is mine. I think that was built around 1990. I'm also pretty sure that was trashed in shipping and was reassembled for the display. Good to see, thanks for the video!
Oh wow Sam thank you for sharing that!! The Oakland diorama inspired me to start building dioramas.
I have more footage and several up close pics of different areas of the diorama I'm putting together for a video dedicated to just that. Love, love, love that diorama Sam!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@THROTTLEPOWER well needless to say, I'd really like to see more of the Impala!
@@samtate6260 👍👍
Very awesome place! Always wanted to go there. You pretty much covered all I wanted to see. Thanks for taking us along.
Thank you Alan, so glad you enjoyed the tour.
Hi Tom, This museum is so cool. I recognized some of the models that I built as a kid. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. Jeff
Very cool Jeff, so glad you enjoyed! Hope you have a GREAT day too.
The museum is awesome Tim. I still have the magazine where they showed the Oakland Roadster show diorama when they first built it. Thanks for an awesome tour. Ron
Very cool Ron! That diorama is soooooo cool, it kick started me into building dioramas.
Brilliant tour,Tim. What a great museum👍😎. That hanger display case is fantastic,let alone the cars displayed in it😀. Quite an amazing place👍😀 Thanks for showing and best wishes from jolly old England 👍😎Pete 🤓
Thank you for the kind words Pete. 😊 I had you and a few of the other guys (who live outside of the states) in mind as I was filming this. 👍 Wanting to bring this to you as I'm sure it's a place you would enjoy but probably never be able to go to. ✌ It's a small museum and I filmed everything there except all the Magazines.🙂
@@THROTTLEPOWER You're quite right,Tim. It must have been quite a journey from your home too🤔. I really enjoy the variety of places you've taken me to👍😎
@@petesmodelcarcustoms584 Yes, 1 full day of airports and airplane rides.✈ So glad you have enjoyed the vids Pete, it's comments like that that keep me going. 🙂👍
@@THROTTLEPOWER I've enjoyed watching your channel flourish over the last couple of years and wish you even greater success 👍😎
@@petesmodelcarcustoms584 Thank you so very much for the kind words Pete. 🍻🙂
Great tour Tim. I hope this place keeps going well into the future.
I agree David, so glad you enjoyed the Tour!
Never new such a place existed.
I understand that Jonny, a lot of guys don't. Hope you enjoyed the vid!
@@THROTTLEPOWER I sure did thanks
@@wreckerjonny6144 👍👍🙂
Cool
I agree!!
I seen in this video Pegasus bilt by Richard Johnson he won in 1963 revell pactra contest I'm watching the video again to see what else I can see
Oh wow, very cool Anthony
Thanks for doing this video Tim. Hey, you were in Utah anyway right? Seriously, I would love to visit this place . I have read articles and seen other videos but this is the most thorough coverage I have ever seen. That diarama of the Oakland Roadster show is just amazing! As someone who has built models and collected model magazines since the 60's I recognize many of the historic models on display. Many were award winners. Some were magazine builds. All are cool! Do they have a gift shop?
So glad you enjoyed the vid Daniel and thank you for the kind words!! No, there is not a gift shop.
i think the white truck was called the dream ride
Cool, thanks Jeff!
Close, it's the Rod and Custom Dream Truck.
@@danieljohnson9351 👍👍
I heard HMCA 😊
Yes you did!!!!! 👍🙂😉👍
I thought there were Dave Shuklis cars there??
Dave's may be........... They change cars in there so it's different almost every time you visit.
@@THROTTLEPOWER That would be a long drive for me.
@@dh190852 I understand that!!
Are you looking for model cars
Me or the Museum Robert?
Dave Shuklis! DAVE SHUKLIS!! You walked right by his work!! OH C'MON MAN!!!!! Dave Shuklis, oh wow! Really? You hardly showed any of Don Emmons work either. Man
I'm sorry Russell. I tried to show everything but with a tight window of 30 minutes and reflective glass I'm sure there were some things I missed.
You mean that place is only open for half and hour? Or You got there before it closed for the Day?
@@russellpoland6637 Neither..................... about 70 people were/did show up in 30.
@@THROTTLEPOWER oh, Wow. Hey, I wasn't ragging on You Sir, as fast as You were zipping thru there I just got excited! 🤩 I will never make it out there myself. And I do appreciate the time and consideration that You took to be there! Thank You! I just have a deep respect and admiration for those two Gentlemen and their modeling skills. Again Thank You for sharing with all of Us here on the tube. I am sorry if I upset You. Was not my intention at all.
@@russellpoland6637 It's cool, hope you enjoyed the vid Russell. 👍👍
Great video.The noise didn't help.
Thank you Dale, so glad you enjoyed the vid!
