Richard A. Stephens, former Academy of Art University President, has always had a penchant for cars, a sentiment that has been passed down to his daughter and current President of the Academy, Dr. Elisa Stephens. Desiring to offer automotive design at the Academy, Mr. Stephens wanted to give students a design perspective that they would not be able to receive from anywhere else. With access to a museum of rare and classic vehicles, students can study exquisite design and apply that sense of craftsmanship to their own artistic pursuits.
The Academy of Art University Automobile Museum preserves and pays homage to these classic fixtures of international automotive innovation and also provides inspiration and a sense of history to students who attend the Academy of Art University. Special guests, student groups, and the general public are now able to observe, admire, and study this rare collection.

The Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum presented by the Automobile Club of Southern California is an independent California non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization dedicated to celebrating the impact of motorsports on American culture.
The Museum collects, preserves, exhibits, and interprets the vehicles, stories, and artifacts that represent America’s affection for, and the influence of, automotive speed and style in all its forms.
The Museum’s collection includes dragsters, land speed vehicles, race cars, customs, hot rods, and a changing array of one-of-a-kind vehicles that tell the story of American hot rodding. The museum is located in a historic Art Deco-style exposition building on the grounds of the Los Angeles County Fairplex, which is also home to In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip.
The National Hot Rod Association has had a continuous presence here since its very first event, the Southern California Championships, was held at this drag strip on an April weekend in 1953. Today, the NHRA has two national races here, the Winternationals in March and the In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals in November.
The Museum is open year-round and features thirty thousand sq. feet of permanent and changing exhibitions.
