A Generous Donation:
The inception of the Classic Car Collection dates back to 2011, marked by the generous contribution of 100 automobiles from Bernie and Janice Taulborg’s original collection.

Undergoing a transformative shift, the collection now exclusively features cars on loan, boasting a fleet of over 135 vehicles. Nearly all of these additions are freshly acquired, ensuring a dynamic rotation that guarantees a novel experience with each visit to the museum.

Our esteemed collection and facility receive meticulous care and maintenance from our dedicated team of volunteers, whose passion fuels our mission. Supported by the generosity of friends, benefactors, and the invaluable contributions of our Friends of the Collection, we continue to uphold our commitment to preserving automotive history for generations to come.

The Atmosphere:
At the Classic Car Collection, visitors are immersed in authentic vignettes, complete with artwork, mannequins, and other period items, bringing the automotive narrative to life. Through interactive displays, we seamlessly integrate technology to showcase the profound impact of automobiles on our society.

Step back in time at our recreated 1950s gas station, where vintage tools blend with modern devices, highlighting the evolution of technical prowess. Don’t miss our drive-in theater screen, complemented by the original ticket booth from the local Kearney Drive-In, offering a nostalgic glimpse into automotive entertainment history.
