​In the Earl C. Lindburg Automobile Center is located a display unit of the ultra-modern Coral Court Motel.  This unit of the famous motel was saved from the wrecker's ball for our museum.  The motel was built in 1941 one mile west of the city limits on Route 66.  Coral Court epitomized speed, streamlining and the ideals of highway travel.  The architectural gem was set among tree-lined streets and featured a swimming pool.  Its end came in 1993 when it was condemned.
