Reynolds Alberta museum is a automotive, farming machinery and aero museum located in Wetaskiwin, Alberta, Canada. Specialized in vehicles important to Canada.



and my full set of pictures here: (more pics plus bigger sizes) http://www.flickr.com/photos/daveseven/sets/72157605288649274/



What a great place - this was my second time there. Only had a short time but got a quick tour of the grounds in this lovely 50s Pontiac. Had a neat column shift manual three speed.



They are opening an exhibit on the model T but they were still a couple around including this snow conversion and racer





Ever heard of a 1926 New Day Jewett Deluxe? Me neither but they have one.



NSU Prinz



A ton of old equipment - tractors, draglines, etc.

1917 Bucyrus Class 24 Dragline and 1929 Bucyrus Erie 200-B Stripping Shovel

The wooden one is the 1917 Bucyrus Class 24 Dragline and it was recovered from the bottom of a lake.



Some oddities. No idea what this is but it was in the car storage section.



1936 Imperial Airflow Sedan C10 Parts car



A field full of old vintage iron and tractors



And next door is a classic car/truck/tractor sales yard chock full of stuff. These CMP Trucks are quite rare - but here is a whole row of them.

Fantastic museum in a really unlikely setting, surrounded by farmland and a fair drive from Edmonton. Last time I was there 3 or 4 years ago, they were working on a startling reproduction of the Avro Arrow. Lots of stuff to see, if you go there plan on a couple of days to see everything.  Thumbs up

At first I thought that little mystery plane might be a Republic Seabee, but it's obviously something else. I can't really tell from the pic - does it have a boat hull?
