Adopt-A-Car
Adopt a Car Today
Gilmore Car Museum is introducing an Adopt-A-Car program for the first time in museum history. Up for adoption are 20 cars from the museum's permanent collection.
The benefits of adoption are numerous and is a great way to support the museum. Several intangible benefits are reliving old memories, being an active part of the living history of the automobile, and “owning” a classic automobile. There is also the option of adoption in memory or honor of someone which can be a unique and personal gift.
Adoption may be done in person, by mail or by phone. Pricing levels are $300, $500, and $1,000 and will include the following benefits:
- Correspondence packet:
- Adoption certificate
- Photo of your car
- Eight (8) passes to visit Gilmore Car Museum
- Signage displayed with car
- Photo of vehicle for display
- Be a part of Gilmore Car Museum
