Museum

The museum was established in October 2002 by Jeff and Susan Lane, beginning with his personal collection of 70 vehicles in Nashville's former American Bread Company (1951-1994). The collection currently includes art, memorabilia and over 500 vehicles,[2] with 150 cars displayed on any given day. The museum features European cars of unusual design, propeller-driven vehicles, microcars, three-wheeled cars, amphibious vehicles, alternative fuel vehicles, military vehicles, competition cars, one-off vehicles, prototypes — and 23 Tatras.[3]

Since 2010 the museum has hosted an annual fundraiser where donors can drive a museum car on a nearby rural route.[4][5]
