The National Automobile Museum in Reno, Nevada has been attracting visitors ever since its initial opening in 1989. Classic cars being showcased range from the early 1910s to vehicles which have starred in movies, from the 1981 DeLorean seen in Back to the Future movies to the 1992 Ford Explorer showcased in Jurassic Park movies.
The first auto gallery has classic cars of the 1910s and 1920s such as the 1910 Franklin and the 1914 Detroit Electric.
Before entering the second auto gallery, a small collection of cars features the classic 1955 Ford Thunderbird and the 1917 American LaFrance Type 12 Fire Truck with a wall showcasing classic cars from the 1946 film classic It’s a Wonderful Life.
The second auto gallery of cars goes off from the previous years from the first auto gallery going into the 1930s and 1940s.
As you walk in, on the right side lies the famous 1933 Cadillac Series 452C which was owned by famous singer and movie star Al Jolson. In the same gallery rests a classic 1936 Mercedes-Benz, featuring a beautiful silver-finish to the car.
While the third main gallery was temporarily closed when I visited, outside the gallery were three eye-popping F1 cars and vintage motorcycles, including a vintage 1955 Vincent Black Knight.
Overall, it was fascinating seeing all of these classic cars from all of these years and seeing the progression of styles as well as movie cars that I recognized.
To me, it was worth the 15 dollars to get in if you take your time in the galleries admiring each of the cars. If you're not a fan of cars and go through the museum quickly, the 15 dollars might not be worth spending though.
