Gateway Auto Museum
The Museum is devoted to understanding, and celebrating, the history, design and social impact of the American automobile. It features many of the most prized and impeccably preserved historic cars in the country displayed in a unique gallery setting.
Highlights of the Museum
The presentation includes the one-of-a-kind 1954 Oldsmobile F-88 concept car, considered a rare American icon. Hendricks purchased this classic car in 2005, after intense auction bidding, for $3.25 million. The collection begins with the 1906 Cadillac Model H Coupe and includes Duesenberg, Auburn, Cord, and Cunningham marques alongside rare models from Packard, Cadillac, Pierce Arrow and others.
Admission
The Gateway Canyons Auto Museum may be closed on observed holidays or for other special events and it is recommended to call ahead if traveling to the museum on those traditional days (e.g. Thanksgiving and Christmas.)
Parking
The Gateway Canyons Auto Museum offers our guests complimentary parking. Auto Clubs driving to the facility should call ahead to reserve a section of a lot to display their own antique and classic cars.
