Museums & Institutions - Boron, California, United States
"Lindsayland" sounds like a happy place, don't you think; happier than that other guy's land of commercialized infantilization. Imagine taking his Autopia attraction, of miniature cars on a closed track, his only surviving original attraction, and instead you're driving genuine, big, old cars on the open desert. At Lindsayland you can drive a genuine old car, on the open desert. Even more fun: you can help to restore them. You'll learn old-fashioned mechanical skills, like welding and tire-changing. You'll have the feeling of accomplishment that your ancestor's knew when they'd leave the factory after a day's work. You'll sleep in the birch paneled warmth of J. Paul Getty's aluminum trailers, built at his Spartan Aircraft Company plant in Tulsa, Oklahoma. They're better than Airstream (we have one of those too) and we have their best models, built in 1947 and '53. You'll drive gas-guzzling, tail-finned, bullet-nosed, cars with 500 cubic-inch engines and no seat belts. Lindsayland is an adult-oriented playground and study center. It's intelligent living in a challenging environment. It's a serene state of mind fostered by immersion in an arid and austere ambiance of blue sky, grey sagebrush, and buff earth. Is it the Mojave or is it Mars? You'll wonder as you view the infinite vistas. It's an astral, ancestral, awakening from under starry nights into blue skies. Lindsayland is an experiment in sustainable living in a desolate environment. It's a collection of old cars, trailers, and other American-made items of material culture, especially that which is relevant to the cold war.. Lindsayland, though seemingly remote, near the corner of highways: U.S.395 and California 58 in the middle of the Mojave Desert, is actually the center of the urban southwest. The metropolitan populations of the Bay Area, Southern California, Las Vegas, and Phoenix areas would balance at a point approximately where Lindsayland is.
