Lane Motor Museum

A collection of European cars, antique automobiles and more!

Lane Motor Museum in Nashville, Tennessee has a collection of about 300 unique automobiles.

Of all the Nashville museums, this one will probable surprise you.

Most of the cars are European cars.

You will see a number of antique automobiles as early as 1924 as well as some unique modern cars.

Most of the cars are in running condition.

They only have enough space on the main floor to display about 150 cars at a time.

You might see the 1966 Honda S600 Roadster or maybe a 1960 Renault 4CV.

They rotate the cars so you may see something different each time you visit.

In addition to automobiles they have a collection of motorcycles as well.

Some of the automobiles you may see while you are there are:

• Amphibious vehicles

• Competition cars

• Military vehicles

• Mini cars

• Some one of a kind vehicles

In Nashville this is one of the great places for kids because they will really enjoy seeing all of these unique cars.

Lane Motor Museum has a small staff that works to maintain and restore vehicles for the collection.

They try to restore them as near to the original condition as possible.

Some of the work is done at the museum. You can look through the windows and see some of the cars that they are working on.

Danny and I visited the museum and to my surprise I wasn’t board. I am not that interested in cars, but Danny sure is. I enjoyed looking at all of the unique cars that they had on display.

The day we were there they were having an event called "Summer Crush". This huge military vehicle ran over a car and crushed it. This is one of those fun things to do in Nashville with kids.

The car was stripped down to basically the top half of the car. We didn't stay to watch it, but there was a large crowd there.

I enjoyed my visit very much but I just couldn’t figure out what some of the designers of the cars were thinking.

Check out the picture of the car above. I am not sure what the car is called but I call it a dual front car. There are two steering wheels, two gas petals and two brake petals. There is no rear. Amazing!!!
