Museum of American Speed
About This Museum
Tucked away in an unassuming industrial park in Lincoln, Nebraska, the Museum of American Speed is a gearhead's nirvana that feels more like a sprawling, three-story love letter to horsepower. You don't just walk through this place; you get pleasantly lost in a century of automotive passion, where the sheer volume of artifacts is both overwhelming and exhilarating. From the gleam of a perfectly restored vintage racer to the quirky charm of thousands of antique gas pump globes, every corner tells a story. It’s less a quiet museum and more an energetic celebration of everything that made America fall in love with the automobile.
Collection Highlights
The collection is staggering in its depth, anchored by a jaw-dropping array of rare early Ford V8s and historic dragsters like the 'Thai Caddy' slingshot. One minute you're admiring row upon row of vibrant, classic toy cars, and the next you're face-to-face with intricate scale model engines that reveal the artistry behind the machinery.
Visitor Information
Plan to spend a good chunk of your day here—there are over 150,000 square feet to explore. It's open most weekdays and Saturdays, but double-check their website for specific hours as they can vary. A friendly heads-up: it's located in a functional warehouse district, so don't let the exterior fool you; the real treasure is all inside.
Architecture & Building
Housed in what appears from the outside to be a massive, no-frills warehouse that matches its corporate campus neighbors, the building’s true character is revealed within.
