WHAT !
YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN TO THE HIMES MUSEUM OF AUTO RACING ?
 |
"NOBODY HAS MORE STUFF"
Here's an article I wrote about it, some years ago for Mobilia Magazine.
Marty Himes never stops collecting stuff
(So imagine how much more there is to see there now )
He would love for you to come by so he can show it you.
(Screen capture from a TV interview)
BESIDES STOCKING MY BOOK, MARTY HAS A NICE ASSORTMENT OF GIFT ITEMS
COLLECTABLE STUFF : SIGNS, PLAQUES & SHIRTS etc .THAT HELPS TO SUPPORT THE MUSEUM.
IF YOU LIVE ON LONG ISLAND OR ARE JUST VISITING ,
GIVE HIM A CALL AT (631) 666-4912 AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT
( This totaly unique museum is located at his home in Bayshore, Long Island that is why you need to call first )
I've known Marty for 20 years now and there are TWO things about him I can tell you for sure,
ONE: He will not EVER fly in a plane,
(he'd still hop in an open cockpit race car, in a blink and go flat out in competition)
TWO : He does not use computers at all. His grandson Bryan Johnson created a fine museum website,
BUT it is not the way to contact Marty Himes
So that is why you have to call him on a telephone 631 666-4912 or write to him at :
15 O'Neil Ave
Bayshore, NY 11706
