Wanted to do something different from most that go to this area, so this was it. Overall it was a thought provoking experience with a potential guided tour waking you through the "timeline", or a progression of the automobile. From the first ideas of having a four wheeled people carrier to the current ideas of today. Innovative ideas, competition, assembly lines, mass production, safety and even mass transit and transportation as well as the competition of racing. It also notes the biographies of everyone that has contributed into what the automobile is in the current year.

The museum honors the people in the auto industry and displays only a few cars. I still would have liked to see more displays even if they weren't cars.
