Don't miss it!
If this is one of the top five car museums in the country I want to see the other four! This place is fantastic. The best part might be the "story" about each car which is prominently displayed by sign boards near by. Many of the cars are so rare they left me in awe. Want to see one of only 5 V16 Cadillacs ever built? One of only 48 Tuckers ever built (and o with less than 50 miles on it)? A Continental owned by a president of Ford Motor Co.? Duesenberg owned by Buster Keaton's son? Some are painstakingly restored, others with the years' patina intact. Either way you will love them. We used to visit this museum back in the 1960's and I can't believe how much it has grown. Anyone with even a remote interest in cars, or anyone who remembers cars of the past, will love this place.

Learning to drive the Old Fashioned way
This was an amazing time. Fantastic information and driving was great! This is a must for any new Model T owner. Allow at least 2 additional hours for the museum because it is huge and the car collection is the best I’ve ever seen!
