Since there's a lot of crossover between the toy train and classic car hobbies...

Watching MotorWeek, I learned about a new (to me) attraction in Lancaster County - Barry's Car Barn.  A large private collection of classic cars that is open to the public located near Intercourse - I'm planning to visit as part of my next trip to York in April. 

If anyone has been there, please add your thoughts.

I visited Barry's this past July.  I thought it was a nice collection and all the cars were in amazing condition.  It's definitely a bit a bit heavy on Corvettes and Mustangs (I don't recall exactly, but I think they have a Corvette from nearly every year from around 1956 through 1967).  A few Mopar samples and other GM products to look at though also.  A few vintage motorcycles and gas pumps as well.  Overall its not a huge museum but very well maintained and organized.  I enjoyed it.  Also something to check out if are interested is Stoltzfus Meats right around the corner.  They have an awesome selection of home made baked goods and other Amish deli type items.

I put almost all cars post 1940 as in the "used car" category, but most of the national vintage clubs have made changes accepting later cars.  So, is this museum heavy on Post 1940, or does it have at least half 1900-1940 cars? I think it is in Reading that l blundered on a car museum that had several obscure and Pa. built makes.  Blundered on another car museum in Elvis Presley's hometown, that was not heavy pre 1940.  I am always interested in "sights" that might help justify the York trip. Pa. has a lot of history to be seen.
