Dells Auto Museum

[Amigo2k]

The Dells Auto Museum closed several years ago. Did you ever make it there?

I learned about this place via a post card that is on ebay for for sale:

The car in the photo was lost in a fire they had in 1999:

In the article it states at one point they had up to 400 cars … I wonder where they are now?

I visited it once many years ago. I didn’t realize they had that many cars at one time.

I made it up there once before it closed, the place seemed a bit small for 400 cars at once, the owner at the time told us that the display changed regularly as they cycled through cars in the collection that were borrowed from their owners. I think about 75 maybe 100 were ever on display at once plus a few for sale in the parking lot. Neat place, I can recall a 76 Eldorado sitting in the back corner of the museum that caught my eye and a late 60’s olds 98? for $8,000 out front. I took a few photos but don’t know where they are since that was back before I had a digital camera and 15,000+ collector car digital photo archive.
