Would you name your museum after yourself
Every so often I get asked if my name is Miles while I’m at Miles Through Time Automotive Museum. If my name was Miles that would have been an amazing double entendre.

There are two Cadillac museums you can visit in the USA. When I first started Miles Through Time Automotive Museum with only one car I inherited. That car was a 1959 Cadillac, so for a short time, my one-car museum could have been the third Cadillac museum in the country.
We’ve had some Cadillacs come and go over the years. Currently, my Pop’s 59 is on display along with one other Cadillac and a LaSalle. Despite opening a museum with one Cadillac, I’ve never heard anything from Cadillac. 😉
Speaking of the 1959 Cadillac. Have you heard of Ralph Teetor? If not, you’ve probably heard of cruise control. Ralph invent cruise control. It was originally released in the 1958 Imperial as “Auto Pilot,” but the name “Cruise-Control” stuck when it was released in the 1959 Cadillac.
Ralph had a terrible accident at 5 years old, which left him blind, but he still changed the world. You can learn more about his story and watch the documentary Blind Logic, which is available on many streaming services.
If you’re a Cadillac fan, you’ll want to visit the Greenberg Cadillac Museum. Apparently, it is the largest collection of Cadillacs in the US. From one-cylinder cars to much more modern.
The Cadillac LaSalle Museum is the most well-known Cadillac museum. The museum has a bunch of beautiful Cadillacs and Lasalles on display, curated by the Cadillac and LaSalle Clubs.
Since there are only two Cadillac museums, but I owe you three, I figured I’d go with the competition. In my mind, if you’re choosing between two brands and one of them is Cadillac, the other one is probably Lincoln.
You can visit the Lincoln Motorcar Heritage Museum the same day you visit the Cadillac LaSalle Museum. Both of the museums are a part of the Gilmore Car Museum campus, which is way more than just Lincoln and Cadillac.
If you want to see more, visit the Weekly 3.

Situated on the beautiful 90-acre campus of the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan, about midway between Detroit and Chicago.
The Lincoln Motor Car Heritage Museum is a place of education, fascination, and inspiration. The building and outdoor patio are dedicated exclusively to highlighting the American automobile industry with a focus on Lincoln motor cars.
The Greenberg Cadillac Museum has the largest collection of Cadillacs in the U.S., from the first single-cylinder Cadillacs of the 1900s to the turn of the century and into the modern era.

One museum was founded after a successful racing career. One was created after making a fortune from a well-known truck stop, and one came to fruition after a group of guys came together and created the only car museum in their state.
I tell everyone I talk to at every museum I visit, that every museum is different, and they are all worth visiting, even if you only visit once.
The good news for people like us, is that there are no shortage of cool places to visit all over the world.
The price of admission is always a subject of debate. It is also one of the most common updates to museums listed in the Automotive Museum Guide.
One of the cool things about the Automotive Museum Guide is that you can use it as a resource at your pace. Most people do not travel the country specifically to visit automotive museums.
I’m on the road again this week, so this one will be brief. Last week I had to share the unfortunate news about a few automotive museums closing very soon.
I have unfortunate news about two automotive museums that are closing this year. The first one I had a heads-up about it, so I knew it was coming.
This was by far one of the most unique and cool places I’ve ever been to pick up a vehicle. The vehicle had been stored inside the side of a mountain for the last decade in a place called Brady’s Bend Underground Storage.
The Weekly 3I'm on the road again, picking up another donated vehicle for Miles Through Time Automotive Museum. Hopefully, I don't mess it up again and leave this in my drafts until Wednesday like I did last week. 😉 If you're reading this on Monday, I'm much closer...
