Jamin drives and Dave rides as the Myronmobile is moved into place in the underground exhibit.

Exhibits are constantly changing here at the Kansas Underground Salt Museum, and the newest one already has a major element in place.  You may have seen it on TV before, but I doubt that you'd recognize it.  It's called the Myronmobile, and it's an old, 1984 Pontiac that has seen better days.  It was brought underground to ferry miners from one part of the mine to the other, and was recently retired. It's named after its driver, Myron Marcotte, the mine manager, and he generously donated it to the museum once it was past its useful life.  It was made into an icon after its 15 minutes of fame on Dirty Jobs  (click on "preview clip" near the bottom of the page) with Mike Rowe, as it was the car that Mike rode around in during filming and can be seen in the episode.  Soon a couple of other articles used on the day it was filmed will be added in, so check back to see what we'll add!
