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 think big. This week we should all be thinking BIG. Take it from a guy who decided to create Miles Through Time Automotive Museum after inheriting just one car.
I’m also the same guy who didn’t have a clue what I was doing, nor did I have the financial means to create a museum, but then also decided to take all of my “museum” research and created automotivemuseumguide.com.
If you showed me in 2017 what Miles Through Time Automotive Museum would be today, I would have no idea how that would be possible, but there’d be no doubt in my mind that it would become what it is today and more.
I have my sights on either constructing a brand-new facility for the museum or perhaps an old mill like this one I found, could be revitalized with the right investors.
Either direction Miles Through Time goes in, I’ll need help, and that’s okay. The museum is only as great as it is today because of the people who have chosen to be a part of Miles Through Time. I’m excited to see what happens next.
In the spirit of thinking BIG, this week’s automotive museums have big vehicles to see.
The Mahan Collection Foundation Inc. has 6 buildings spread across 40 acres with close to 200 big trucks. The big trucks date back to 1916 and go all the way up to 2001.
Another big rig museum you can visit is the Pacific Northwest Truck Museum. This museum has over 75 trucks on display and shows you the unique innovations that were developed over the years for the trucking industry.
Buses are big vehicles as well, and at the Museum of Bus Transportation you can see some really cool old buses. As a bonus, this museum has been absorbed by the AACA Museum, so you’ll be able to see a lot more than just buses.
There are many more museums across the country that focus on big vehicles. You can see them all HERE.
Have a great week and go BIG!

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.
There are two Cadillac museums you can visit in the USA. For a short time, my one-car museum could have been the third Cadillac museum in the country.
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...
Ever since I got into the automotive museum world, I thought it was strange that the big automotive manufacturers didn’t have their own museums.
Not including museums outside the USA, it takes about 3 years to get through all the museums. The three museums I’m sharing this week were last updated in 2023, which seems like forever ago.
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.
