THE 1950s MUSEUM, Denbigh plus HARLEY'S GARAGE, Mold

Checking out the classic cars & memorabilia at the 1950s Museum in Denbigh, North Wales, is the subject of this upload to the Old Classic Car channel. A quick look at "Harley's Garage" in Mold then follows.
As its name suggests, the 1950s Museum just outside of Denbigh isn't just cars but everything related to that post-war decade. In it you'll find a huge collection of exhibits, from 1950s kitchenalia, televisions, radios, and cameras, through to toy cars and, of course, a number of interesting old, real, cars.
Old cars on display are as follows ... a 1955 Beardmore taxi, Austin A35, Cadillac, Ford 100E, Morris Minor, Wolseley 4/44, Morris Cowley, and a great old Ford Anglia E494A that has been off the road since 1975. Outside is a wonderful 1950s Dennis fire engine.
Joining the 4/44 Police car in the crime scene area is a Ford Fiesta Mk1 that previously belonged to Christine Keeler, who was involved in the Profumo affair in the 1960s. Alongside it is the cab from the original Austin Loadstar lorry used in the Great Train Robbery. When I first visited the museum years ago, the complete lorry was on display, however a fire years later devastated the museum and its contents. The lorry was re-cabbed and, on the time of my visit, was hidden away (almost) out of sight, with the original damaged cab on display in the main museum building.
The video rounds out with a quick look at Harley's Garage and us messing around outside at OCC HQ in the recent snow.
Not far away from Denbigh is the Llangollen Motor Museum (I've included a link to that video at the end of this one), so if you're planning on visiting the area I'd recommend visiting both collections.
