If you were starting a general car museum and had room to nicely
display 15 cars, which would you pick? Don't get too esoteric - nothing
rarer than a Cord or Auburn.

This is a museum for the general public - perhaps one where the the
history of the automobile as it effects the general public might be
seen and cars that the younger ones have only heard of my be seen.

Model T, VW Beetle, Cord, mid-70's Japanese econobox and so on.
The Belgin cars acn be in the third group of ten.
(I might even include the Caddy with the first electric starter, which
doubled the number of potential drivers.)
