A national treasure
I preface this by the fact that I am not a motorhead and have only a passing interest in old car, but my god I was impressed by this museum. The collection and special exhibits were amazing. The set up give you an easy path to walk and not miss anything. The staff were helpful and knowledgeable. I drove by the museum every day for the 14 weeks I worked in the Tacoma area and am so glad I decided to stop. This is a national treasure and should be included in any visit to Tacoma.

Cars, Cars, Cars!
This highly eclectic collection of antique, classic and everyday cars covers over a century of automotive technology and style. We spent a couple of hours walking the five floors of cars on display. Some were true curiosities, as in a couple of teeny-tiny, but fully drivable models from the late 40s. Others were true antiques, as in horseless carriages from the turn of the 20th century. The top floor featured three current exhibits. First was a history of Saleen Racing. Steve Saleen, a well-known Mustang tuner, is also a racing driver of note. The second, a small collection of Ferrari cars, although beautiful, seemed just a filler. The last, a selection of Cadillacs from the 'teens (that is, the Nine-teens) to nearly today, showed the long and steadily more stylish road that marque has taken from its birth to today. We enjoyed the place, and recommend it to car fans.
