In the words of Mike McCandless: ”The McCandless Collection was founded by Mike McCandless in honor of his father, Herb McCandless. Herb was a legendary drag racer known as “Mr. 4 Speed”. The family’s passion for racing was passed down and now hundreds of cars as well as many other vintage automotive memorabilia are on showcase at this museum.”
“The McCandless Collection is a culmination of Mike McCandless’s passion for all things Mopar and his love of the “Forward Look” era from 1955-1961. Mike has collected automobilia and cars his entire life. His vision is to properly preserve, restore, and share the history associated with these Mopar artifacts.” (McCandless website)
Bright Penny Brewery in Mebane was our lunch destination following our visit to McCandless. We even had private parking.
