Seventeen years ago, car dealer Ray Skillman turned his collection of classic cars into a showroom and classic car museum. The museum contains classic cars, antique bicycles, restored classic neon signs, a carousel, and more. There are hundreds of classic cars, some of which Ray Skillman has personally restored! Ray’s enthusiasm for cars started when he restored his first car at the age of 14. The restoration shop is on the tour!
The museum’s collection includes a 1954 Corvette to classic DeLoreans, Kaisers, and even antiques. Reestablished classic neon signs from companies such as Studebaker, Texaco, and Meadow Gold Ice Cream hang from the ceiling.
Several clubs will be attending — Cadillac-LaSalle, Buick, and Lincoln have all been invited, so you’ll likely see someone you know from these fine organizations
