The 11,000-square-foot Durant Vehicle Gallery presents rotating exhibits about the history and future of the automobile inside the Sloan Museum of Discovery (formerly off-site at Buick Gallery).

DFW Elite Toy Museum

DFW Elite Toy Museum

The DFW Elite Toy Museum is the brainchild of businessman Ron Sturgeon who first started collecting automobile memorabilia over 40 years ago. Ron initially focused on Mercedes toys and then moved on to rare and vintage automobile-themed items such as race cars and scale models. As the years progressed, Ron’s interests expanded to include vintage toys, unique signs, and other rare and historic collectibles. Eventually, the personal collection was so expansive that the idea for the DFW Elite Toy Museum was born.

Today, the DFW Elite Toy Museum has more than 3,000 unique pieces in its collection. Automobile enthusiasts will appreciate the impressive collection of Tippco die-cast toys along with a wide array of early tin, wind-up, pressed steel, and other collectibles — including the very rare Eva Braun Mercedes toy. Dog lovers might be interested to hear that the museum is a “dog-friendly” space and currently features an exhibition entitled “Dogs in Art, Toys and Antique” which includes iconic dog-themed paintings and other dog-related memorabilia from around the globe.

The museum has expanded to include Ron’s personal collection of classic foreign cars and modern supercars. The cars include many oddball cars, but also a significant amount of VW’s including a Schwimmwagen and Mercedes, including a 6-door Mercedes 600 and a 300SL convertible, totaling over 125 cars. Interesting items include Kennie Bernstein’s winning funny car and top fuel dragster from 1996.

The museum director is Brian Sturgeon, Ron’s son, ask for him personally!

Swigart Museum

Swigart Museum

Swigart Museum is the oldest Antique Automobile Museum in the country and the only Museum. The automobile collection was started in 1920, just 25 years after the first patented combustion engine automobile. It was started as a collection that was made available for public viewing during business hours at Swigart Associates. It was later registered as a separate automobile museum, which is still thriving today.

The Swigart Museum collection contains automobiles and carriages dating back to 1896. You can see between 30 to 35 automobiles on display each year at the museum. Because the collection is so vast, each year while the museum is closed over the winter, they change the displays to allow everyone to see more of the collections. They also have a featured display each year of one of their special automobiles in the center of the museum.

During your visit, you will experience more than just cars. The Swigart Museum features the excitement of early automobile racing and old cars that are depicted in prints, paintings, and photographs from renowned automobile artists such as Ernest Montaut and Peter Helck.
