NEXT EVENT: Clifton
Classic Chassis and Corner Drug Cafe, Clifton, TX, Saturday, March 15,
9:30am.
Join
us for
a country drive, a visit to a private car collection at Clifton Classic Chassis, and
lunch at the historic Corner Drug Cafe in Clifton, TX.
Our first activity will be lunch at Corner Drug Cafe, a quaint destination
housed in a historic 1880s building in Downtown Clifton. The cafe retained
most of the original classic architectural features and an old-fashioned soda
fountain as a tribute to the Corner Pharmacy, a previous well-known occupant.
Highly rated, the cafe serves soups, salads, sandwiches and homemade pastries
for
lunch, not to mention daily specials and old-fashioned soda fountain drinks.
Make your lunch selections from the menu. Pay your own.
Note: We will park at the Classic Chassis lot and
walk (3 minutes) to the cafe, as we think it will be easier than parking
downtown. After lunch, we will walk back to the car museum.
After lunch, we will visit Clifton Classic Chassis, a private museum which
houses over 30 restored and original classic American automobiles. It is the
private collection of Dr. Terry Watson of Clifton and Dallas, who will be
standing by to answer any questions we may have about his cars. Examples include
a '60 Corvette Convertible, a '40 Buick Eight Sedan, a '55 Thunderbird
Convertible, and several other classic Cadillacs, Pontiacs and Lincolns. Besides
autos, the museum also has a collection of Clifton/Bosque County memorabilia
from the 1950s through 1970s. Also inside the museum is a newly-added gallery
which houses a wide variety of modern art (including several works by renowned
Spanish surrealist Salvador Dali), classic Spanish & Mexican oil paintings
dating back to the 1700s, modern paintings by Clifton and Bosque County artists, and a rare collection of artifacts dating back to the Olmec, Aztec
and Mayan eras.
