Description

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
California Automobile Museum has a collection of over 150 classic cars, race cars, muscle cars and early models. The mission of the California Automobile Museum is to preserve, exhibit, and teach the story of the automobile and its influence on our lives.

Exhibits and attractions

Approximately 40% of the 150 vehicles are owned by the California Vehicle Foundation, while the remainder are on loan from private exhibitors. The cars on display represent a cross-section of cars driven in California over the last 120 years and are arranged in chronological order. In addition to the static displays, the museum also has "rolling exhibits" which change frequently and display specific types of automobiles like Japanese or micro cars. While the museum can be experienced alone, docents are available to offer personalized tours free of charge.

The museum also offers "Sunday Drives", an opportunity to receive a ride in a museum car free with admission every third Sunday of the month along with 5 cars to sit in on everyday basis.

Some of the notable cars on display include:

One of the 40 surviving 1997 General Motors EV1

A 1982 Porsche 911 SC Targa formerly owned by singer Linda Ronstadt

A 1978 Kawasaki KZ1000C CHP used in the “CHiPs” TV series
