Located in Building 2612 on Vandegrift Blvd, the Marine Corps Mechanized Museum contains working Marine Corps transport and battle vehicles and interprets the history of Marine Corps vehicular usage from World War I (WW I) to the present day.
The building itself is an important piece of Base history, as it was the terminal building for the railroads that serviced the base shortly after its purchase in 1942. Many Marines arrived at Camp Pendleton at this terminal building to begin their training for World War II (WW II) and Korean War battlefields.
The Mechanized Museum collection includes an outstanding array of U.S. Marine Corps transportation and combat vehicles, from a WWI vintage ambulance to a Gulf War HUMVEE. The majority of vehicles in the collection are in running condition, thanks to the work of retired Marine Master Gunnery Sergeant Jim King and his hearty band of volunteers, aptly named “the Dirty Docents.”

When you visit the museum, you’ll travel back to 1959 as you enter the Pico Room, an entrance themed after the original Honda headquarters in Los Angeles. Back then, Honda only produced motorcycles, including the Benly, Dream and Super Cub — the best-selling motorized vehicle of all time.
Since then, Honda has become an American leader in automobiles, including the Acura brand, powersports, power equipment, marine engines, and even a jet airplane, while continuing to innovate for the future. Learn about this rich history through a self-guided tour including narrated videos, photos and displays.
The American Honda Collection Hall showcases of iconic products that highlight the success of Honda in America, beginning in Southern California in 1959. We invite you to immerse yourself in the Honda story through historical, current, and future products, all fueled by the Power of Dreams.
The American Honda Collection Hall is located in the lobby of Honda’s U.S. headquarters. We welcome visitors to attend free of charge during public Cars, Bikes and coffee events. The Hall is not open during other weekends.
Every other month, visitors are encouraged to drive or ride their own interesting vehicle or motorcycle to show off while enjoying the Collection Hall, special exhibits, the Power of Dreams Café, and the merchandise store.
