Another automotive museum is growing and moving into a new building

I’m back now that it is 2025. Quite a few people thought I was done completely when I said last week’s email was the last one for 2024. I’m very glad to hear people actually find value and enjoy these emails on top of helping me keep the guide up to date.

I have made a major change or addition this year that will hopefully help people gain access to these museums, even if this email doesn’t make it into their email box. 

It is going to take me some time to add all the backdates, but going forward this email will be available on the website under the Newsletter tab, which is found under extras.

Hopefully, this way, if you ever miss an email or want to reference back to it, it’ll be easy to find on the website.

I’m never a fan of having to share museums that are closing. Luckily, recently quite a few museums have been growing. I’ve got one more museum to share with you that is moving into a new 100,000-square-foot facility. 

The DFW Elite Toy Museum was started by Ron Sturgeon and has a very impressive collection of cars on display and soon the car museum will be much larger. I’m excited to see this museum in their new space. 

A lot can change very quickly in the automotive museum world. It feels like just yesterday I started Miles Through Time Automotive Museum in 2017, and yet at the same time, it feels like forever ago. 😉

Maine Classic Car Museum was created in 2019, so they’re actually pretty young, but they have 50 of some of the most beautiful vehicles on display.

A lot of automotive museums start as a private collection. Sometimes they turn into lasting museums, but more often than not they disappear once the founder passes on. 

Howard’s Toys For Big Boys showcases Howard Alger’s classic car collection. Howard is still alive and gives tours of his collection, even though he is currently in his 90s.  The local chamber helps Howard keep his collection open, which is free to visit.

If you have the opportunity to visit any automotive museum, I highly recommend you do it. You never know if that museum will be around in another 10 years, or better yet, you’d have the opportunity to see the museum before it gets better.
