The Pate Museum of Transportation, just south of Fort Worth, is a prime example of one Texan’s devotion to all things mobile. A.M. Pate Jr., owner of Fort Worth based Texas Refinery Company, began collecting classic cars in the 1960s and didn’t stop until his death in 1988. He ended up amassing helicopters, a yellow submarine, and a Cadillac with the biggest fins this side of the ocean, among other treasures.
