01 / The story of this place

Make time for these

It all started in 1995, when Ted Stahl bought a 1930 Ford Model A Roadster Deluxe and rebuilt it with his family. Today his foundation shows more than 100 classic cars spanning the Brass Era to modern times, including a 1948 Tucker and a 1963 Chrysler Turbine, and another 100-plus in storage keep the floor rotating. Automated musical instruments play alongside the cars, and once a month Night at the Museum opens the doors after dark under a wash of neon.
