The Weekly 3

There is a new feature I added to the Automotive Museum Guide. I hope you like it and find it useful. I also want to preface that it is in somewhat of a beta stage. I will continue to work on it and make it better, but I encourage you to use it and play with it now.

The AMG Navigator can be found on the sidebar of every museum page, or the icon in the bottom right of the screen can be clicked on from any page. 

You can use the AMG Navigator to discover automotive museums even more easily. You can ask if there is an automotive museum near a specific area, show you museums with lots of tractors, or give you a list of museums you can visit on a trip.

Admittedly, it’s not perfect yet; it is only 2 days old, but I believe it is useful and will make it easier to navigate through the 600-plus automotive museums listed in the Automotive Museum Guide.

Play with it, see what it tells you and let me know if you think this is a useful tool that will help you discover automotive museums to visit.

If you’re a racing fan, you may want to check out the NHRA Motorsports Museum in California. The Museum’s collection includes dragsters, land-speed vehicles, race cars, customs, hot rods, and a changing array of one-of-a-kind vehicles that tell the story of American hot rodding.

If racing isn’t your thing, and you’re more into American classics, you can visit Roadside America Museum. This is the private collection of Carroll Estes, who usually has the museum open to the public during the week, but this one you definitely want to call ahead of time to make sure you’re able to visit.

The Hollywood Cars Museum & Liberace Garage is a museum you’ll want to visit if you’re a fan of seeing cars from TV and movies. From what I can tell, this collection belongs to Michael Dezer, who also owns the massive car collection at Dezerland in Orlando, Florida. 

This museum’s website doesn’t appear to have been updated for years and I almost assumed it was no longer open. There are some recent posts from the museum on social media and recent reviews which do confirm it is still open.

This is a good example of how I can only add information to the Automotive Museum Guide, if information is available. I send these emails to ensure the information listed is as up-to-date as possible, but sometimes the source isn’t up-to-date.

These emails and the Automotive Museum Guide are only meant to be a starting point. Click on the museums listed in this email, and you’ll know exactly where they are and how to contact the museum directly. 

Then, I encourage you to visit the museum’s website, where, hopefully, you’ll be able to learn way more about the museum. It’s also a good idea to reach out to the museum directly, just to confirm their hours so you aren’t meant with disappointment if you arrive and, for some reason, they aren’t open.

I would say 90% of the calls I get at Miles Through Time Automotive Museum are just to confirm the hours and/or ask what admission is. It doesn’t hurt to ask, and it gives them the confidence to take a trip to the museum.

Have a great week!
