Donald Osborne, CEO of the Audrain Automobile Museum, discusses the museum, its recent Concours and Motorweek, and Donald's passion for collecting automobiles.

After introducing Donald, Robert discusses Donald's fairly recent appointment as CEO of the Audrain and the efforts Donald is undertaking to increase the outreach of the museum (2:30), before turning to the origins of the building housing the collection (4:43) and some of the ways the museum is 'digitizing' to connect with car lovers with a brief detour into a discussion about their latest video comparing Ferraris (9:29).
