About

Tucked into the small town of Enumclaw, Washington, this museum is packed with a rotating collection of classic, vintage, and other exotic import cars sure to capture visitors' attention.

On any given day, visitors might see a Model T Firetruck from 1921, a 1964 Falcon Sprint, race legend Sam Auxier Jr's ford racing rig, or the Boss 429 Mustang. 

The museum started as a home for private collector's vehicles and has grown ever since. Proceeds help benefit the Epilepsy Foundation of Washington, and they often host both public and private events where local car clubs show off their vehicles.
