More than 400 cars are on display in this densely-packed four-story museum. Vehicles of note include a 1948 Tucker, of which less than 21 are on public display, and the Flintmobile used in the 1994 Flintstones film. Expect to spend 2 hours or more to see the whole museum. The permanent collection can be a bit repetitive, while rotating exhibits like supercars or alternative propulsion are more engaging. Fairly educational, but younger children may be bored by the "do not touch" displays, with only a slot car track ($3) and a racing simulator ($8) to break the monotony.
