We created the ultimate resource of America's Automotive Museums.
Last week was amazing, getting to spend time with peers and friends at The Petersen. Having the opportunity to view some private collections, like the Singleton Collection, a portion of Philip Serafin’s (big fan), and Jay Leno’s.
In 2016, I was 32 years old and had two automotive museums under my belt. I lived in Mooresville, NC, the capital of NASCAR so naturally I made my way over to the NASCAR Museum and Memory Lane Museum because it was there next to where I was buying a trailer to move away.
I’ve always been a big car guy, but for whatever reason, automotive museums just weren’t a part of my life. That is, of course, until 2017, when, out of nowhere, I founded Miles Through Time Automotive Museum.
Fast-forward 8 years and I have visited almost 100 automotive museums in North America. I found myself on the board of the National Association for Automobiles and the World Forum For Motor Museums.
I’ve even helped newer automotive museums create their own brands and online presences. I never planned any of this, but this is my life now. I intend to do everything in my power to ensure the longevity and success of the museum I founded and do everything within my power to help all the other museums.
One thing I noticed right away when I started to dive into the automotive museum world, is that there are so many variations. There are so many different ways to present an automotive museum and there is no right or wrong way, because there are so many variables.
This week I want to share with you some examples of completely different types of “automotive” museums. The very first one I was going to share was the Lone Star Motorcycle Museum, but unfortunately they are permanently closed. This is a good example of why I send these emails.
So instead, I’ll share the American Classic Motorcycle Museum. I have visited this museum, and I will admit I almost didn’t go in. If you didn’t already know there was a motorcycle collection upstairs in this country diner, you’d have no clue.
You’ve heard the term hole-in-the-wall restaurant? For me, that usually means its a little place, not fancy, but it’s good. That is what this museum is like.
The Eastern Museum of Motor Racing is another unique example. This museum sits on 40 acres overlooking wooded hills and a racetrack. If you’re like me, that was enough to sell you. The museum is constantly bringing in historic cars to display so you never know what you might see.
The Tucson Military Vehicle Museum is a newbie. If you like seeing military vehicles, this is the place for you. You’re going to see tanks, big trucks, Willy’s and everything else the military has used over the decades.
Honorable mention this week in Tucson as well is the Tucson Auto Museum for officially opening in their new location. I got to visit the old location, but now it looks like I have a few more reasons to visit Tucson.
Have a great week!

If you don't care or don't have time to do anything other than just glance at the three automotive museums at the bottom
I created the Automotive Museum Guide six years ago, and today marks the 200th email I sent sharing automotive museums.
Last week I shared my vision for the future of Miles Through Time Automotive Museum, which then broke automotivemuseumguide.com. A lot of people reached out to me saying they were not able to access the website.
This week I am going to share with you three automotive museums that opened near the same time Miles Through Time Automotive Museum started in 2017.
The Weekly 3When I was in school, history class was one of my least favorite classes. I don't believe it was because I didn't have any interest in history, considering how involved my life is with history these days. The main memory that sticks out for me about...

I'm heading to the National Association of Motor Museums' Annual Conference on Tuesday.
It is pretty awesome when people visit Miles Through Time Automotive Museum from all over the country
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.
I'll start this week by letting you know about a brand-new museum that just opened this month. The St. Charles Motorcycle Museum is now open.
When you enter the Dauer Museum of Classic Cars, over 55 classic cars transport you back to an age when Americans engaged in a more simple life. You’ll see beautifully restored cars from the 1930s to the 1970s. As you walk along you will pass a nostalgic mural of the “Fabulous Fifties” while Marilyn Monroe looks down on her cream-colored Cadillac convertible.
When you walk by the Florida Medical Center mural, you can admire the vintage ambulance, fully restored. The interior is still functional, complete with all the medical technology known during the 1970s. It even has a loud working siren.
You then enter the perfectly replicated Texaco gasoline station, circa 1934, complete with an authentic Texaco gasoline truck and 1930’s vintage gasoline pumps, together with original products from the time when Americans were well into their love affair with the automobile.
And there are more than just cars. With just a few steps you are transported into a Hollywood premiere of the 50’s complete with the luxury cars that the stars arrived in as well as beautifully restored vintage Black and White and Color video cameras that the movies of the past were filmed on.
