More a work of art than a car, these vehicles remind us of a time when motoring had an elegance and style since unmatched. A 1932 Auburn Boattail Speedster and Howard Hughes Silver Ghost are among the cars on display.

The Batmobile and its cave. Its sleek lines and gothic look make it one of the most recognized cars in movie history. This along with several other TV and movie cars are on display in the museum.

The Indy 500 is the most watched spectator sport in history. And after seeing the amazing lines on these cars, and watching them scream by at the race track, it is no wonder. Here is your chance to get within a few feet of one of these sleek machines.
