Automotive Museums Milestones
There is always some sort of milestone that can be achieved. Sometimes, you may not even realize it's a milestone until it happens.
Mar 29, 2026
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.

The DFW Elite Toy Museum is the brainchild of businessman Ron Sturgeon who first started collecting automobile memorabilia over 40 years ago.
Maine Classic Car Museum features 50 of the world’s finest motorcars, including a Tucker, President Roosevelt’s Packard, and Doc Hudson, the Fabulous Hudson Hornet.
Howard’s Toys For Big Boys showcases Howard Alger’s classic car collection along with his other memorabilia.
There is always some sort of milestone that can be achieved. Sometimes, you may not even realize it's a milestone until it happens.
There are a lot of automotive museums with seasonal hours. This could be staffing constraints, weather, seasonal tourist locations, etc.
Free automotive museums are great. There are not that many options, but there are a few, usually with limited hours, and in most cases, donations are encouraged or at least greatly appreciated.
A few years ago, I did my first sweepstakes for Miles Through Time Automotive Museum.
If you read nothing beyond this first paragraph, do just this one thing. Scroll all the way to the bottom of this email, where you should see three sections.
Unfortunately, museum founders passing away is inevitable. What happens next can sometimes be very disappointing.
This week, I've got three automotive museums to share with you that are all incredibly different from each other.
The odds are you have some sort of automotive passion running through your veins. You do not need to start a museum, but visiting automotive museum will help feed your passion.
There is always the option to just display a bunch of cars in a room, but that can be boring, and will probably be difficult to keep people visiting overtime.
