Actualy, David, it is pronounced like "ow," as in "ouch!"  It is the
name of the man who started the collection.  As to other funny names, I
used to know a veterinarian named Dr. Bone. :-)  And I have tones of fun
with my own last name!  My favorite way to help folks spell my name is
to say, "Pope, like the guy in Rome.")

I have to admit that this tickled my funny bone.  "Towe" is a great 
name for 
an auto museum, depending on how it's pronounced.  It reminds me  of
the 
plumbing company in this area named "Flood" (John Flood), not to
mention  my 
doctor, whose name is Hertzman, another doctor named Blood I once knew,
and  my 
favorite, a dentist whom my brother used to see: his name was Toothaker
(I  kid 
you not).
 
But if "Towe" isn't pronounced like "tow," just forget I said 
anything.
