“Cars, Cars, Cars”
The museum houses many of Moncrief’s own cars and also a rotating collection of one-of-a-kind classic automobiles. Tom and his wife Therese have always been community-minded and charity-minded and continue to put others at the forefront of their businesses and lives. Weatherford feels lucky to have them here with such a wonderful and unique venue that feature some of Tom's cars, as well as Guest cars on loan for display.
It has only about twenty cars on display, about a third of which are Ford Model T's. Notable vehicles on display (they do have others, but space is limited) are a custom-built Cadillac "bus," one of a fleet built for the Broadmoor Hotel; LBJ's 1964 white Lincoln Continental convertible; and a 1939 Alvis, the lone non-American vehicle in the place. Unfortunately, all three rooms have glass walls on one side, which means almost all the cars are so harshly backlit that it's very difficult to get decent pictures (and this on a rainy day). The attendant on duty was personable, and tried to be helpful, but couldn't answer any of my questions. (What was that little crank on the back of the front seat in the Dodge? What is a "pop-out ignition"? What was that gizmo on the spare-tire holder that looks like an over-engineered clamp? What's that little flipper-like knob inside the back doors, but not the front doors, of the Studebaker?) Despite that, I found this museum worth the stop.
