Perfectly restored cars, mostly from 1900-1940

I’m not really a car enthusiast, but this is definitely worth a visit. Several of the cars are the only ones still in existence, and there are lots of interesting prototype cars that never made it to production. Someone who is really into this will...More

Pristine collection of antique automobiles

Take the time and visit this place. Make sure you watch the movie and slowly enjoy the many rooms filled with pristine collection of well restored and kept up autos from the late 1800 thru the mid 1900. A must to stop
