Snook's Dream Cars, Ohio, United States
5.0 (79 reviews) Sunday: Spent < 1 hour Ranking #1 in Bowling Green Speciality Museums
A must see collection for car lovers!
Automobile history comes alive in Snook's Dream Cars Automobile Museum, fittingly located adjacent to one of America's first cross-country highways, U.S. 6, in Bowling Green, Ohio. Your journey in the "past lane" begins as you step into an authentically recreated 1940s-era Texaco filling station, featuring an extensive collection of "automobilia" - everything from hood ornaments and window cranks to seat covers, bug remover and backseat touring games. You will continue past an operational, four-bay mechanics' area where vintage vehicles are repaired, and into a working museum of coin-operated amusements, ranging from pinball and slot machines to a Model-T Kiddie Ride (bring along your quarters!). You won't want to miss the antique pedal cars, Texaco promotional gimmicks or the classic collection of automobile decanters, some still holding their original Jim Beam brew. When you've had your fill of these "time machines" wheel into a spectacular showroom of dream cars from the '30s, '40s, '50s and '60s. The Snooks' eclectic collection reflects the elegance of years past. Displayed in authentic settings, these vintage vehicles will take you back to a 1930s general store, a 1940s stroll throught downtown Bowling Green, a 1950s diner, and a 1960s Sebring raceway pitlane. A collection of classic military vehicles completes the living museum, where all the cars are running, reliable and ready to show. Before you leave, be sure to stop in the gift shop, and take a little bit of history home with you. PLEASE CALL FOR WEEKEND AVAILABILITY.

Love This Harvest Host location!
As full time RV travelers, we try to find unique places to stay as we are traveling. Snook’s Dream Cars is part of the Harvest Host family and we were so blessed to be able to keep in our RV in their parking lot! The museum is immaculately kept. Even looking into the garage where they are working on cars is amazingly clean and organized. No greasy stuff happening out there! Got to meet Jeff and he knew me by name from my reservation. Sweet gentleman who takes his time to talk with people from all walks of life! Terry the mechanic was very kind and helpful as well! It’s not a huge museum, which is great for us, as we are passing through and don’t have tons of time to spend, but it is well put together with great stories of history neatly prepared and on display for quick reads. My husband, Mom and I really enjoyed our visit!

Takes you Back in Time
We had a wonderful time touring the museum with just 4 of us in the museum. We had made an appointment on Friday, July 3, and we were the only ones there. The museum sure brings back memories of artifacts that were popular in our day and the cars were beautiful. We were there almost 2 hours, but my husband said he could have stayed all day. Don't miss this hidden gem in Bowling Green, Ohio especially you baby boomers.
