🦃 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?Â
Either way, I hope you find value in learning about automotive museums you can visit.
Have a great week and Happy Thanksgiving!

Any excuse to visit a museum is a great excuse
There’s always room for more motorcycles. Even if you’re not a motorcycle rider, there is an art to the design of a motorcycle that you should be able to appreciate.
What’s the deal?
This Automotive Museum Guide features all kinds of museums, and the one thing they all have in common is that you can visit them.
Marshall, Truett and Mel are automotive enthusiasts at heart
Sometimes you never really know what the future will be. I believe it is always best to go do what you can now, rather than put anything off.
Art, the King, and Fire. Yes, these are all automotive museums
“Car museum” is the shortest and easiest way to identify a place that may have some cool cars to see. It’s a great search term.
Growing Pains
I’ve seen a LOT of car museums closed. I’ve seen a bunch of car museums get created. By far my favorite is to watch car museums grow
Roadtrip Time
The Weekly 3I hope you had a fantastic 4th of July weekend. I spent Friday and Saturday at Miles Through Time Automotive Museum and got to talk to all kinds of people from all over the world. The furthest visitor was from Czechia. I spent Sunday driving up to...
Big Car Shows and Museums
Whether it’s a show to raise funds for a specific family in need, a church, a charity, or a museum, the proceeds raised help make a difference, and you have to spend a few hours having a good time.
Incubators for automotive interests
Just about every museum’s mission is some version of preserving and sharing automotive history, which is true and necessary.
Museums that help keep brands alive
Some of the very niche automotive museums you can visit may have it a little more difficult to capture a broader interest. Or perhaps because they are so niche, they have the ability to be hyper-focused on what they specialize in.
History Museum, Art Museum or Car Museum
I would argue that sometimes a car museum is just a car museum, but the best are all 3.
