The collection is huge.  Nicely arranged with some street scenes including things from the time periods of the cars.  Even a stop where you can put on hats and dusters and take a picture in one of the old cars.  Some of the signs could have been a bit more informative; rather than just telling about the company that made it and what they did before, I find the more interesting information to be the new innovations- how this old car differs from the old car next to it; however some of that we were left to discern on our own.  They had a variety of neat cars; unfortunately we had to rush through the last section of various racing cars and the area with the gold-plated De Lorean because we didn't allow enough time.  My one personal complaint is that there was absolutely NO Volvos!  Volvos should hold a great place in automotive history, and I don't understand why the 1984 minivan was there, but to not have any sorts of Volvos, I was disappointed.  Otherwise a great, seemingly complete collection, at a very decent price.  Great stop for visitors, just make sure to leave enough time.
