I ended up going to Nashville for the weekend and stumbled apon this awesome museum. The guys that worked there keep the cars maintained and they rotate driving all the cars which is awesome. They had a basement tour going on which they don’t always do and I’m very glad I was able to make it because they had about 200 more cars sitting down there. If anyone goes to Nashville this is a must see.

They hold super cool events, like Rally’s where you can drive the cars. Prices range from $500-900 for the day.

They also crush cars with their huge LARC-LX-1959
Not at museum - just for fun
Other Nashville shots…
anybody else read the title as “Nashville - Lame Motor Museum”
^Almost every car they have is super rare or odd. Its like a freak show of cars. Lots of European weirdness, rally cars, little cars, weird bikes, its all freaky awesome.
The Nissan truck and Fiat 500 were the first from them to be imported to the US.
I could have talked to the employees for hours there. They are all older engineers / mechanics. They have a machine shop upstairs where they make parts that are no longer available. It is pretty much my dream job.
Every week each guy takes a car out of the collection to drive. I think the one 63 MB has like 300K miles and its beautiful. All the rally cars have tags too haha.
Eclectic and drivable, we need more “museums” like this.
That’s a lot if interesting vehicles :tup:
