Goddard Space Flight Center displays a Delta (sometimes called a Thor-Able) in
its Rocket Garden. Google
Maps link.
The early Deltas consisted of a Thor missile as its first
stage with an Able upper stage (the Able upper stage was a modified second
stage from the Vanguard
rocket, which attempted but failed
to launch the first American satellite). The Delta family, much evolved,
is still launching payloads today.
I have additional photos of a similar Delta in the Kennedy Space Center rocket garden.
