Brick Car at Gilmore Car Museum

There's a car made completely out of bricks at the Gilmore Car Museum. It is outside of Building G and next to the Shell Gas Station.

A 1940 Pontiac, by the looks of its bricks.

Gilmore Car Museum (and Barns)

Terrific display of cars, from Ford's Quadricycle to the a unique 1931 Franklin, from toy wagons to wood-paneled wagons. Also includes a few barns that the museum has preserved.
