Cloud Museum
Cloud Museum is nestled in the middle of the Sonoran Desert on the CA-AZ border surrounded by farmland. The friendly owner Mr. Johnny Cloud (who we had the pleasure of meeting while he drives around in his golf cart) is dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich history and culture of antique Model Ts and other old-timey paraphernalia in his collection. His passion and knowledge sets this place apart, and if it was anywhere near Route 66 it would receive a lot more attention and visitors. One drawback is that most of the artifacts are not very well-labeled. However, the experience itself was enjoyable and worth the $10 donation to keep the museum running.
[Drake Ventoris, 02/08/2024]Johnny Cloud's collection features over 130 antique vehicles -- mostly Model T's and Model A's. Many other types of old equipment, old tools, old appliances. All the cars there are in running order.
They are also on wooden blocks out in the yard. He has many restored cars inside his buildings. He also has a complete old time gas station.
