🦃 Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 It’s all about the Halls of Fame.
With Thanksgiving this Thursday, I’m sure you’re very busy, so I will keep this week’s email brief. Remember, if you don’t care to read any of this, all you have to do is scroll to the bottom of the email, and you’ll see the three main automotive museums I mention.
Keep in mind that my intention is not to tell you everything about every museum. All I want to do is make you aware of a place you could visit if you want to. You can click on the hyperlinked name of the museum in this portion of the email or click to read more at the bottom to learn more about the museums.
The theme this week is Hall of Fame. There are quite a few “Hall of Fames” across the country, and each one is unique to the individual museums. In fact, I counted 18 of them. You can use the search function on automotivemuseumguide.com to find all of them. Just type in “hall of fame” and you’ll see them all.
The three halls of fame I share with you this week are some of the oldest additions to the Automotive Museum Guide. Which, of course, is why I chose to update them and share them with you.
First up is the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America. This is a 15,000-square-foot museum located at the Daytona International Speedway. As you can imagine, this museum is packed with various racing artifacts.
The NASCAR Racing Hall of Fame is another museum specific to racing but also even more specific to just NASCAR. I’ve been to this museum before I had any idea I’d be engulfed in this automotive museum world. It is a big, impressive museum located in downtown Charlotte and you do not have to even be a NASCAR fan to have a good time.
The Automotive Hall of Fame is another museum I’ve had the privilege of visiting. This museum isn’t packed with vehicles, although there are vehicles on display. Instead, the museum focuses on a broader aspect of automotive history, beyond just the vehicles. There is a lot to read and learn at this museum, and if you need to see a few more cars afterward, you can literally walk to The Henry Ford Museum next door.
That’s it for this week. Let me know what your preference is. Do you prefer to just see what the 3 museums are and delete the email? Or do you enjoy some of my automotive museum insights and experience?
Either way, I hope you find value in learning about automotive museums you can visit.
Have a great week and Happy Thanksgiving!

Another automotive museum is growing and moving into a new building
I'm back now that it is 2025. Quite a few people thought I was done completely when I said last week's email was the last one for 2024.
Is a 160,000 square foot museum big enough for 500 vehicles?
Today is Veterans Day, and although today is the day, we specifically recognize veterans for their patriotism, love of the country, willingness to serve and sacrifice.
This is it, the last email from me sharing automotive museums.
This is it for 2024. I've been sending an email like this every week for almost three and a half years.
Sometimes it take a bit of change 🪙 for change 🏗️
Change is inevitable. There is no guarantee change will be better or that you'll like it, but it constantly happens without our consent and will forever.
What happens to a museum when the lease changes?
Some stories may be similar or have some aspects in common, like a big car collection, a wealthy benefactor, or a group of enthusiasts joining forces.
What does Mona Lisa have to do with cars?
I got a 3-star review last week for my museum, Miles Through Time Automotive Museum.
