“Collecting cars has been a lifelong passion of mine, and creating this museum has allowed me to share that passion with others. Every vehicle has a story, and it’s great to see guests discover pieces of history they may never have experienced otherwise.”
That passion is evident throughout the museum, from meticulously preserved classics to interactive displays that bring automotive stories to life.
