An overcast morning dawned on Saturday July 19, 2025 and was pleasant enough to entice about 6 DVJC members out to rendezvous with our friends from the MG and Triumph Clubs at the Parc Bistro in Skippack, PA. With most hoods folded on an eclectic collection of a dozen or so British autos (with a few modern cars included), we drove the short distance north to Gilbertsville, PA along scenic Rt 73 to find parking near the Three Dog Garage. With rain beginning to put a damper on some, we parked and quickly found ourselves immersed in a magnificently restored industrial building in the company of many avid car enthusiasts from a host of different local car clubs.
Once inside, we were treated to a rare showing of the inner workings and historic purpose of this garage-museum. Apparently, the owners had previously scheduled an open house for the numerous car clubs in the area to visit this remarkable but usually closed to the public collection of vintage autos, racing cars and memorabilia. Fortunately, our MG and Triumph friends heard about this and extended an invitation for the DVJC to attend.
Our visit was truly a feast for the eyes with much to see. Fortunately, there were knowledgeable volunteers stationed throughout the complex comprised of two different multi-storied structures each filled with automobiles of every description, The larger building encompasses a spotless workshop area where numerous modern and vintage racing cars were being built or restored. There was something of interest for everyone as the two garages house examples of special vehicles many of which have been the subject of magazine articles and videos worldwide.
It was a great way to spend some quality time with our friends from other local clubs. Everyone in attendance shares a passion for the rich history of automotive development spurred by our need for speed. This and how automobile competition had and continues to spur technological innovation is evidenced in many examples on display. Seeing how custom and racing automobiles have evolved over the past 100 years is evident by the timely historical accomplishments documented on many of the magnificent examples on permeant display in this remarkable, private collection.
