1,500 Miles in the Worst Cars and 4 Automotive Museums
One of the vehicles was an old fire truck, and they took it on the Tail of the Dragon, which should give you an idea of the types of cars these guys were in.
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!

Is it really a museum? Or just a private collection being stored in a business that is open to the public? Does it really matter? You be the judge.
This week, I'll share three museums that are also personal collections, but they took it one step further.
The phrase "car museum" gets thrown around so much you'd almost assume there is at least one car museum owner in every city.
If you don't care or don't have time to do anything other than just glance at the three automotive museums at the bottom
I created the Automotive Museum Guide six years ago, and today marks the 200th email I sent sharing automotive museums.
Last week I shared my vision for the future of Miles Through Time Automotive Museum, which then broke automotivemuseumguide.com. A lot of people reached out to me saying they were not able to access the website.
This week I am going to share with you three automotive museums that opened near the same time Miles Through Time Automotive Museum started in 2017.
