Sorry guys but I just can't pass by without comment, In spite of the many minor criticisms we could all make about the CWM or other museums- they deserve credit for the most part - as places who aquire and hold on the vehicles the rest of have owned and flipped. When I first approached the CWM to advise them about the treasures being disposed of in Toronto ( Levy Auto Parts- 25 yrs ago) I was told by the then curator " we have no money and I have no time for this" When Jim Whittham took over things changed- they have an impressive vehicle collection and an interest in presenting it to the public. Are there problems with govt run museums - of course, but I would limit my public criticism of the CWM because overall their accomplishments far outweigh the shortcomings.We have some other museums ( military bases etc) that have impressive collections and might benefit from some volunteers efforts on their behalf. The impressive collection at Base Borden comes to mind.
