FUEL THE FUTURE

Fuel the Future

Help us fill the tank to reach the finish line on two major projects aimed at improving the museum and tell the history of the automobile to future generations.

PERFORMANCE GALLERY EXPANSION

Performance Gallery

The Performance Gallery Expansion takes you beyond 1975, tracing how performance cars evolved through 2000. While showcasing international icons like Ferraris and Skylines, we remain rooted in the legacy of American muscle—from the raw power of ’60s classics to the resurgence of models like the Camaro and Charger.

Classic muscle cars still anchor the gallery, reminding visitors of their lasting impact on design, culture, and community. By placing them alongside global innovations, we show how their spirit lives on in modern performance vehicles.

This exhibit isn’t just a look back—it’s a celebration of how muscle cars continue to inspire. By connecting past and present, we aim to fuel the passion that drives car culture forward.
