Automotive Museums ARTICLES
Enjoy reading about and discovering more automotive museums.
You can make an appointment with automotive history
While most automotive museums have set hours, there are some that operate by appointment only.
Hodgepodge Automotive Museum or Master Collective?
Being the new museum on the block, it was hard to imagine I could ever borrow anything from such amazing museums, but now, Miles Through Time Automotive Museum has earned its place among so many great automotive museums.
The Art of the Car
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Cars, trucks, motorcycles, and things automotive are ART.
The Packard That Cheated Death: The True Story of the Turnpike Phantom
A 1937 Rollston-bodied Packard, a dangerous night on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and a brush with the infamous Phantom—discover the true story behind this Classic Tales episode.
America – Thank You To All Who Served
In honor of Veterans Day on the 11th, I want to share with you museums with some impressive military vehicles on display.
A Private Collection, an Event Space, & a Manufacturer’s Legacy
There are so many different paths to creating a museum, and so many different types of automotive museums. The variety is what makes each one special.
You’ve got TIME for a couple of wheels
This week, I figured I would go to the polar opposite and share a few motorcycle museums. I got some bonuses for you as well.
Car or Tractor?
If you're a tractor fan, you'll enjoy these museums. If you know nothing about tractors, it's all the more reason to visit museums like these.=
Automotive Museum Appointments
Going off of last week's "automotive museums," I'm going to share a few more with you this week that are similar in the sense that they teeter between just a private collection and a museum.
The Bridge Between Private Collection & Car Museum
The term "car museum" is often used in the same way the name Kleenex is used for tissues, or Coke is used for all carbonated beverages.
Corvette, Corvair or the Mustang?
There are three separate museums you can visit in the USA that are entirely dedicated to the Ford Mustang.
What does it mean to be NATIONAL?
This weeks museums are probably internationally known, but in the states we know them as national museums.
You don’t have to be a Billionaire
This week I have a bonus for you. It's not really a museum, and it's not open to the public with regular hours.
The NB Center for American Automotive Heritage
The NB Center campus in Allentown, Pennsylvania, is the very embodiment of the philosophy of The NB Center for American Automotive Heritage.
Have you heard of the Packard Triangle?
This week I want to share with you the world of Packard. In fact, you may not have heard of it before, and that may be because I just made it up, but did you know there is a Packard Triangle?
Hidden County Treasures
This week I want to share with you three local county museums worth visiting. The surprise to each of them is their vehicle collections.
We’re going BIG this week!
In the spirit of thinking BIG, this week's automotive museums have big vehicles to see.
These Automotive Museums Are Only Open Until September
It's smart business for these museums to close over the winter if their expenses outweigh their income during slower periods. It's better to be seasonal than not open at all.
From Dealership to Museum
The Weekly 3So, what do you think of the AMG Navigator that has been added to the Automotive Museum Guide? I'll keep trying to make it better, but even right now, I'm excited about how cool and helpful it is. You can ask it any relevant questions about finding...
What’s your preference? Race Cars, American Classics, or Hollywood Cars
The AMG Navigator can be found on the sidebar of every museum page, or the icon in the bottom right of the screen can be clicked on from any page.
The Panoz Museum
The Panoz Museum in Hoschton, Georgia, is a must-stop for any automotive enthusiast, especially race fans. Not only is the Panoz handmade right on site, but they also display various models in the museum, as well as some of the actual race cars and racing...
This museum is NOT closing, but they are auctioning a bunch of their cars.
The Weekly 3Somehow, this is the third week in a row of automotive museum auctions. The good news is they are all for different reasons. Klairmont Kollections Automotive Museum is going to auction and sadly closing for good. Rodz & Bodz Movie Cars & More...
Another Museum Auction!
Last week, I had the very unfortunate news to announce the closure of the Klairmont Kollection Automotive Museum. No one emailed me to tell me I should go buy a bunch of stuff at their auction.
I Had No Idea This Museum Was Closing
It has been two weeks since I showcased the Klairmont Kollection Automotive Museum. This was the private collection of WWII veteran, Larry Klairmont.
A Bus, a Cloud and a Village All Have One Thing in Common.
I hope you had a great 4th of July weekend. I know many people have been traveling. I've gotten to see friends on social media visit automotive museums while they travel.
How Many Automotive Museums Have You Visited?
Over the weekend, the museum I founded, Miles Through Time Automotive Museum, just celebrated our 9th Annual Car Show.
Big Rigs, Dwarfs, and a 115 Year Old Stutz Building
I am obviously a big proponent of automotive museums. I'll be excited when new museums open, and I'll be bummed when they close.
1,500 Miles in the Worst Cars and 4 Automotive Museums
One of the vehicles was an old fire truck, and they took it on the Tail of the Dragon, which should give you an idea of the types of cars these guys were in.
Origin Story
Is it really a museum? Or just a private collection being stored in a business that is open to the public? Does it really matter? You be the judge.
With An Appointment You Can Visit These Car Museums
This week, I'll share three museums that are also personal collections, but they took it one step further.
