Clifton Classic Chassis Auto Museum

The final stop for my North Texas car museum road trip was the Clifton Classic Chassis Auto Museum. I managed to get to the Museum at just after 4PM, giving me just under an hour to check it out. You wouldn’t want any less time – there are about 30 cars as well as an interesting art collection. The art collection has objects that date back to 800BC.

The museum is open once a week on Saturdays and the owner is on hand to talk about his collection. I found him to be very friendly and he told me about […]

Weatherford Vintage Car Museum

The highlight of the Horton classic car museum is the Corvette collection. The museum has an example (and sometimes multiple) of practically every model year from 1953 to 1973. They also have a couple […]

North Texas car museum road trip

I have been in the Dallas, Texas area over the last few days for work. A free Saturday with the use of a rental car meant looking for an interesting way to fill it. I came across the a web page for The Ultimate North Texas Car Museum Road trip Guide. This piqued my interest – being the middle of Summer in the North Texas area, an indoor activity would be preferable. It also allowed me to see more of Texas outside of the big cities where I spend most of my time.

The guide lists four museums, and challenges […]
