Quadrupling in Size Sounds Amazing When Referring to an Automotive Museum 🚘

It still amazes me that the Automotive Museum Guide has grown into a huge resource for automotive museums, and visitors who want to visit them. In the last 12 months, almost 7 million people have seen the museums listed in the guide.

I wish I could say 7 million people have visited the Miles Through Time Automotive Museum in the last 12 months. We’d probably have the funding we need to build the new building, if that was the case. 😉

I never planned to send these emails, but a combination of museum information was changing, and the email list grew into the thousands. The only logical thing I could think of was to send a weekly email to help me manage the information listed for each museum. 

This is my 192nd email. If you got some of my very first emails, you’ll know how much they’ve changed over the years. The main aspects of the email are the three featured museums listed below. 

At the bottom of every email you’ll see three automotive museums from somewhere within North America. You can see what state they are in, and you can click each one to find out more information. 

I could just do that, and some people may prefer that. Every once in a while, I get an email, because the reader got frustrated I didn’t say exactly where the museum was in this portion of the email.

I do this on purpose for three reasons. The first, I don’t want you to know exactly where it is until you’ve given yourself a chance to learn about it. If it’s too far, and you’ll never visit, that is understandable, but at least you will be aware of it and, who knows?

If I tell you right off the bat, the museum is somewhere you think you’ll never go. Some people may never take the next step to learn just a little bit more about it. 

The second reason is that my intention is not to tell you all about the museums, especially if I haven’t visited myself. If you click the museum’s name, it will take you to the guide where you can then get all the pertinent information you need to then learn more about the museum itself.

The third reason I don’t bother to mention exactly where the museums are in the body of the email is simply because you can see that at the bottom of the email where is neatly shows a snippet of each museum and the state it is located in.

I don’t get paid for sending this email and I do not get paid for creating the website. The museum I founded, Miles Through Time Automotive Museum, is one of the many museums listed in the Automotive Museum Guide that needs to be found by visitors.

If I can get more people to visit the museum I founded and more people to visit other museums, because the Automotive Museum Guide makes it easy to find them. I call that a win.

I love it when people reply to these emails, send me a message, email me directly or sometimes call my museum. I prefer when it is for something positive, but I’m always open to constructive criticism. 

This week, I want to share with you a few museums that were visited by someone from the Schwanke Car, Tractor and Truck Museum because of the Automotive Museum Guide.

The Dahl Auto Museum is located at one of the Dahl’s family dealerships. The family goes back 5 generations, spanning over 100 years. You can see cars on display that go back just as far.

The Nuss Collection is similar in the fact that it goes back three generations. This is a private collection you can visit by appointment. You’ll see a lot of big trucks because the collection comes from years of operating Nuss Truck and Equipment.

The last museum I want to share with you is separate from the others. Stahls Automotive Foundation is one I’ve been to twice. To simply say Stahls is impressive wouldn’t do it justice. 

I recently learned Stahls Automotive Foundation will be quadrupling as the Stahls Automotive Museum. The combination of vintage musical instruments (some the size of rooms) and the amazing vehicles and memorabilia, I cannot wait to see Stahls blossom into the museum it deserves to be.

It seems like a lot more automotive museums are growing lately, rather than closing, which is fantastic news. Hopefully, once I figure out the funding to build the forever home for Miles Through Time Automotive Museum, I’ll be able to announce another museum moving and growing.

If you’re reading this on Monday, then have a great St. Patrick’s Day. If you want a chance to win a 2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and help support the museum I founded, you can enter at milesthroughtime.com/jeep/ and use the promo code LUCKY for an additional 25% more entries.

Have a great week!

Sometimes it’s not what you think.

I enjoy the vast array of automotive museums all over the country. One day, hopefully, sooner than later, I'll also be able to experience some automotive museums abroad.
