The museum was established as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization in October 2002 by Jeff and Susan Lane,[2] beginning with his personal collection of 70–80 vehicles in Nashville's former American Bread Company bakery (1951-1994).[1][3] The collection also includes automobile art and memorabilia. The museum features European cars of unusual design, propeller-driven vehicles, microcars, three-wheeled cars, amphibious vehicles, alternative fuel vehicles, military vehicles, competition cars, one-off vehicles, prototypes — and 23 Tatras.[4]
In 2010 the museum began to host an annual fundraiser where donors were able to drive a museum car on a nearby rural route, which continued at least through 2014.[5][6]
