I lost a museum location Help

Hi, my name is Ray a 60 y/o car guy from Brockport NY. About 10 to 15 years ago I was traveling mid west and found a really nice museum (along an interstate I would think) I came here because there was a (blue?) Tucker in the main building. There was also one of Chevrolet's first v-8 engines (1918) from the Roy Healy horseless carriage. (Never made production). The place was mostly full of old trucks, cars and farm equipment in lean-tos and sheds and buildings with old repair garage facades, more not restored than restored. The place was as much about the buildings, signs and misc. antique trimmings as it was about the cars.
I'm hoping someone can tell me where this place is. I thought with only 40 or so Tuckers around someone may know this one. I have one picture of a row of sheds with a couple trucks and a white anphibicar.
There is something different about looking at the old cars in there original condition, and not all show room shined that appeals to me. If you know this great place or any other similar museum (you can't see too many old cars and trucks) please write me. Have a happy, Ray

Update: I found it. I posted a "missing museum" notice in the used car section of craigslist in Indiana and Iowa and received three responses saying Murdo SD and I was able to confirm this. So if your ever near Murdo (just East of Sturgis) you may want to check this place out. I didn't ask if the Tucker was still there though. Have a good one, Ray

Update: The Museum is Pioneer Auto Show, Murdo SD. The Tucker #31 was on loan from Elk Point SD from 1992 to2004 it is supposed to be Mrs. Preston Tuckers own car and in the movie Tucker.

This is the Pioneer. I moved from Ohio to Washington last year and made a stop to see the Tucker. I saw a worker outside and asked if they still had the car. Unfortunately, it is no longer there. The family came and got it about two years ago now. Luckily though, I didn't have to pay the entrance fee to be disappointed!
