Nethercutt Collection
Vorlage:Infobox museum The Nethercutt Collection is a multi-storied museum located in Sylmar, California, USA. Its centerpiece is its automobile collection, which has led Autoweek to call the Nethercutt Collection one of America's five greatest automobile museums.[1]
The museum also houses collections of mechanical musical instruments, including orchestrions, player pianos and music boxes, and antique furniture.[2] There are also two older-model railroad cars.[2]
The collection is located at 15200 Bledsoe Street in the Los Angeles suburb of Sylmar. Outside the building, the CPR steam locomotive Royal Hudson Nr. 2839 is presented together with a 1912 Pullman Private Car.
