The Morrisons bought the museum from founder Allan Miles, a real estate developer and fellow automobile enthusiast, who owned it for 14 years. With the purchase came several cars, antique and otherwise, and plenty of racing memorabilia.
The Morrisons have expanded the facility by adding cars and other memorabilia. The museum has a distinct racing atmosphere, but that’s not its only appeal. Rare and unique street cars are prevalent and include classic Corvettes, Volkswagen bugs and a Delorean.
Morrison’s operation of the museum includes regular display changes and a fresh inventory of cars, some of which are from his personal collection.
