    Fwiw for decades the Cunningham museum was located at the I-55 and Baker Street on the north side of John Wayne Airport.
    They provided/supported a large parking lot with an awesome RC car race track.
    In the 70s and 80s we were lucky to be frequent guests at the museum for the RC car races.

    "The Cunninghams first considered a location in Anaheim as, in
    1965, there was still acreage available near Disneyland. In
    a decision they later came to regret (Laura and Briggs both
    saw in hindsight that proximity to the park would have helped
    attendance at the museum), they opted instead for a parcel
    of land owned by the Irvine Corporation, the largest landholder
    in Orange County. After some legal wrangling that saw the
    deal go from two-and-a-half acres to five, a 40,000 square-foot
    concrete building was erected. A store and offices were partitioned
    in the front of the building and maintenance and restoration
    shops located at the rear, leaving 30,000 sq. ft. for the
    display area."

    I got a chance to tour the Rev's institute the other day- incredible collection of Porsche's and Cunningham's. I highly recommend it if you are ever in Naples, FL.
