Picture yourself stepping into a treasure trove of automotive passion that began with one teenager's dream of restoration. What started in 2002 when Jeff and Susan Lane decided to open their doors evolved into a public showcase by fall 2003, drawing visitors through its halls even on the coldest winter afternoons. Jeff's fascination with cars traces back decades—his hands-first experience rebuilding a 1955 MG TF as a young enthusiast became the spark that ignited everything you see here today. His ongoing hunt for vehicles that push boundaries or represent pivotal moments in automotive design keeps the collection fresh and thought-provoking. The whole operation runs as a nonprofit, dedicated to the idea that future generations deserve to understand where automotive ingenuity came from. Every car on display tells a story about engineering, ambition, or sheer mechanical brilliance that refuses to fade away.
