Hubby is a car buff. I go along "for the ride". From the moment we walked into this place we knew we were going to have a different experience. The woman who greeted us was friendly and informative. Great person to have at the front line. The cars are one of a kind. We saw cars that we never would have dreamed to have been in this place. The history of the evolution of the automobile's technology was what interested me. How far back electric cars were being tested is amazing. The various countries that developed different improvements in the manufacture of the automobile and the people that influenced this evolution was more than interesting. Price was excellent- under ten dollars for seniors.

If you don't include this Auto Museum in your visit to the Tampa/St. Pete area then you are missing out on period in time when cars were truly special! My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit and the kind gentleman that answered all of my questions made the visit even more memorable. All I can say is the pictures on the site come no where near what you will see Upclose. This place is a gem!

The Tampa Bay Automobile Museum contains a quality collection of vintage automobiles. What is unique about this museum is that the collection is made up primarily of an interesting variety of classic cars from France, Britain and eastern Europe. The also collection includes some American classics and some unusual items such as an all wheel drive 1965 Ford Mustang. The collection is tastefully displayed in a manner that allows for a close examination of each car.

I wasn't expecting a lot from a car museum tucked away in an off pitch Pinellas Industrial Area but forget your Dalis your St Pete Mus of Modern Art, your Henry Plant museum, your Bill Clinton visits, THIS is Tampa's premier attraction. Where else in the world can you get upfront and personal with so many pre war Tatras, so many examples of the development of front wheel drive? The lady and gentleman curators give you a great warm welcome, lots of information, tell you to take photos & the admission fee of $8 for seniors is great value. Who needs Disneyworld?

We decided on a whim to stop by here during our vacation in July and were blown away with the quality and history here. There are tons of old, foreign sports cars here and they're all privately owned by a French immigrant family. The man at the front desk was very informative about the history of the museum and it was great being able to see all of the cars (all of which are street legal, even the repro of the "first" car from the 17th century). I would go back anytime I'm in Tampa.

This is a private collection and even if you care nothing about cars it is worth the trip! This collection has some one of a kind prototypes and the first ever self powered vehicle...by steam. They have cars that illustrate how long we have had alternate fuel technologies but have not adequately developed them. They have a hydrogen powered car from 1929, a Ford A. The owner, his son were there that day.There is also another fellow there who told us great additional history of the cars and the people...very passionate about these cars. This was a great museum. It is a MUST for any car enthusiast, engineer, or anyone who loves antiques and early 1900's up to the DeLorian type of history. It is great fun and pristinely clean. Onsite restrooms and water fountains. There is also a souvenir shop. Truly great fun!

The museum houses something like 60 vehicles, all foreign except for 3. It includes unique models, such as one that was powered only by what seemed to be regular automobile batteries, and one vehicle with wheels up front and tracks in the rear. It is off the beaten path, but worth a visit.

The Tampa Bay Automobile Museum is a private family collection open to the public. The interesting thing about these cars is that they each have some new creative development for their era. These cars were the "car of the future" at the time of their production. Probably the most interesting thing to me was just how many of these cars were designed and built in Czechoslovakia in the 20's to the early 40's. The Czechs were put out of business by Hitler who did not want any competition for his Volkswagen. This is your chance to see some cars that you might never have the opportunity to see. If you are any kind of gear head or are interested in the history of the automobile, this is the place for you to spend an hour or so in the Tampa area.

We were met by a very informative man and told about the highlights of the cars. There were no ropes to keep you away from them...the only request was Do Not Touch. He answered all our questions and even lifted a few hoods so we could see the motors. A very interesting museum...one of a kind!
