The only one of those I've seen is the ford museum.

I also like the Auburn Cord Duesenberg museum in IN.

Locally, we have the Kemp Auto Museum in Chesterfield MO, it's primarily Mercedes products, with some other odds and ends. Fred Kemp was a homebuilder in STL who collected cars, and as he got alzheimer's, plans were thrown together for a museum. It's a cool place, and they have wedding receptions and other events there in the evening. It's conveniently located along I-64/MO 40 in the Chesterfield Valley in St Louis County.

Been to Harrahs in Reno, Had a great time....both times!

I've been to the ACD museum in Auburn, In., the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Mi., and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway museum in Indy. All 3 are terrific and well worth the time. The Studebaker museum in South Bend, In. is also nice (but small) if you're into old stuff.

I can't find a price on their site. How much is it to go?

The Forney in Denver is nice if you like really old stuff. They have carriages there that go back to the early 1800's and a number of cars from the 'oughts and the teens. Go during the week and you will just about have the place to yourself.

They have a pretty good website which you can Google.

The ACD museum in Auburn is fantastic -- the showroom is a great as the cars, and we are talking Deusenbergs and coffin-nose Cords here (and a Mercedes 504K, if I remember correctly).

Here's a link to a neat little museum in southern Wisconsin. http://wisconsinautomuseum.com/

Been to the Ford museum many a time. My mom actually worked there when she was a college student. The cars are great, but my favorite has always been the 4-6-6-4 locomotive. You cannot believe the massive scale of that thing.

Been to Harrah's in Reno - very nice. Convenient to see on the way in/out when skiing northern California.

Stumbled upon the Wisconsin museum while riding my bicyle across the state - an unexpected pleasure.

Hit the British National Motor Museum (Hampshire, England) while stranded in London on business. Fascinating to see how differently things developed across the pond. A collection of land speed record cars here, including the Blue Bird (it's huge). And some nice motorcycles too - my favorite was an Ariel square four chopper!

This one link is only a couple miles from my home, but of course I've never been there...

The Eastern Museum of Motor Racing, just off Route 15 between Harrisburg and Gettysburg, PA is worth a look. Lots of cool open-wheel sprint cars and tons of other cars and car stuff. They let me drive my 300SD around their dirt track.

Yankee candle car museum used to be awesome (Deerfield, MA), but they closed it a few years ago. It saved me one time while my mother spent an ungodly amount of time buying scented candles.

I'd like to go to a few of those museums on that list. Mainly the Ford Museum, Peterson, and stuff that doesnt just showcase American Muscle(that gets old and boring fast)

I've been to 3 on the list, Owl's Head, Henry Ford, and AACA, Hershey.
Another, rather iconic ( not to mention, FREE) auto museum is in Reading, PA at the "A toZ vacuum cleaner" store! Its located on the second floor; any employee can direct you up and turn on the lights. Mostly 50s-60s cars and memorobilia. A fun visit if you are ever in Reasing.
