Dwarf Car Museum – Maricopa



5febz_02

Some people are great at finding unique places to visit.  Our friends, Sandie and Marsha, do just that.  One place Sandie discovered is the Dwarf Car Museum just south of Maricopa, Arizona.   The price was right.  It was free even though there was a donation box.

We decided to meet and check it out.  The size of the cars is obvious when you have someone stand next to one of them.  Thus, Janice decided to do that.

Do you think this might have been owned by the Beverly Hillbillies?













We really enjoyed checking this place out.   It was phenomenal.  These may be dwarf cars but they run just like the big ones do.  Everything is put together much the same as the original car.  Some are even road legal and one vehicle even made the trip from Arizona to Chicago.

Check this one out.  It isn't just a dwarf car.  It was made out of old refrigerator parts.

There’s always an old tractor to get the attention of the boys.

Obviously, this wasn’t really the bathroom.

The area driving to the Dwarf Car Museum was gorgeous.  Sagurao Cactus were everywhere.  You just never know what you're going to find in the desert.  We found a house built like an Egyptian Pyramid.  We would have loved to have gone closer but decided to pay attention to the trespassers warning sign.

Arizona definitely has beautiful sunrises and sunsets.  We were able to enjoy a few of them.
