Welcome to the Barn, the “Low 64 SS.” Now visiting the Motte Museum is this stunning pink 1964 Chevy Impala Super Sport lowrider. Belonging to the late Ernie Macias and his wife, Melissa Macias, the Impala has been temporarily gifted to the Motte Museum and our guests to witness the incredible detail, outstanding craftsmanship, and love that went into its making.

What a joy it was to host a few of the members of the Corvettes of San Diego Car Club for a visit last Saturday. Besides their excitement and great company, they also brought with them Robert & Julene Gyde's rare 2012 Carlisle Blue Corvette Grand Sport Convertible. It is one of only 118 Carlisle Blue models ever produced, all made during a single production year. ✨ Both the people and the cars were a treasure 🏁💙💎
