Lobstermobile

They sold it!

The museum has confirmed that the Lobstermobile has been sold, but the buyer's identity remains a mystery. We'll keep our seabed antennae wiggling to find out where the crustacean-car might have gone.

Lobstermobile

The Lobstermobile is currently parked in the lobstering exhibit at the Maine Maritime Museum, and you can only access it while the museum is open (w/ admission).

Cool but creepy looking lobster catching a ride on top of a VW beetle at Boston Lobster Feast at 6069 W. Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway in Celebration, FL near Orlando.

As with any mobile attraction, we can't guarantee it will be parked here, but keep an eye on your rear view mirror.
