Saw some students doing their school project. It’s a nice museum with collection of classic cars. Fun to browse through them

This is a interactive museum where you can get in almost all the cars they have on display. That is if you don't mind the big steering wheel. Great collection of cars on display including 1922 Detroit Electric, 1935 Chrysler Airflow, 1941 Lincoln Continental, 1959 Edsel Ranger, 1937 Pierce Arrow Town Car and much more. There's also a reading room full of different books on various cars. Admission is free but donations are suggested. They also rent out their vehicles. The museum is conveniently located near the Green line metro.

What a great exhibit! Plenty of beautifully maintained and restored vehicles. Lots to see…they even have a DeLorean! Icee cream shop has coffee, donuts and of course ice cream for a little break.

The website stated that there was a "suggested donation," but we were told we had to pay before we could enter. They are working with a skeleton crew, and some of the options touted in the brochure were not offered. For instance, my mom is an antique car enthusiast, and was looking forward to the docent-led tour (listed to take place at 11 and 1). It was not available. Also, the website states that you can go for a ride in one of the old-time cars on Sundays between 10 and 3:30, but that was also not available. Nonetheless, we had a good time. There is a massive showroom which has about 25-30 cars on display. There are several from the early 1900s, and even a couple more "modern" sports cars (CA 1960s). We marveled at how massive some of the first-run cars were (very few safety features, and large, roomy interiors). There is a "Hot Wheels" play area for kids, but there are only 6 cars for them to play with; the rest are on display. There is what looks to be a racetrack that the kids could assemble, but it is not functional, as many of the pieces are missing. There is an ice cream fountain on site, which also has very few menu items (no shakes, floats or sundaes as listed on the website). Nevertheless, we enjoyed a scoop each, and called it a day.

Is there a entrance fee??

Karolyn G | Sep 7, 2018
Katrina Alan | Sep 7, 2018

Donations are requested and only an entrance fee for special events. I would bring a 10 dollar donation if coming when it's not an event because parking is free (amazing for LA) and the experience is amazing. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable, restrooms are clean and it has AC.

I am getting my 41 Nash Amb. Into shape. I wonder if my car could have a spot at the museum where I might take it out now and then?

You'd have to ask them directly. Try Fireball Tim.
