This is a really cool stop on route 66. The owner has a ton of vehicles in here from all different years. They're classic cars that are well taken care of. Lots of cool retro stuff to check out. You can get in and out of here in about 15 to 30 minutes depending on how much time you spend at each vehicle. I could've swore. I saw a sign that said free but I think the entrance fee was only like five dollars so it wasn't a big deal. Definitely worth the five dollars. If you want to break up the long drive and stop for a bit and walk I suggest you stop in and check out all these really cool vehicles. Some of them are for sale. So you may stop in to find your dream car.
Cute little museum off historic route 66. Around 30 older fancy cars in the museum with some other memorabilia as well to look at. Cost is $5 a person. We were in there around 30 minutes so not super long. Person working didnt seem super interested in chatting with us, looked like she had a friend visiting with her. It was cute to see and listed as one of top 5 things to do in santa rosa. This would not be something I would come back to but it was fun to see once
Made a stop here with friends on a road trip to California from Texas. The nicest people own and run this museum. Very impressive car collection here. Good selection of souvenirs & gifts. Recommended if you appreciate classics cars of all types.
On my most recent road trip drive from Roswell to Albuquerque, my husband had decided for us to make a stop at this small museum in Santa Rosa. This museum is a collection of privately owned cars that can be described as classics, vintage, etc. There are about 30 or so cars to look at. Some of these cars are also for sale and surprisingly most are kept in well condition. You will definitely see some hot rods with some cool designs, but also some much older cars as well. There are some cars and vehicles parked outside in their lot as well that are really interesting to look at too. In addition to cars, there are a lot of random car memorabilia like things you would expect to see in an auto shop. Admission is only $5 per person, which is pretty cheap and so we didn't mind paying. There is a small gift shop here that sells route 66 souvenirs and there is also a small eatery in here but I don't think they were open. To really look at everything, my husband and I were here almost an hour or so. To be honest, I wouldn't consider it worth a special trip to drive out here but my husband liked to break up road trips with roadside attractions (www.roadsideamerica.comis a great place to look up things to visit on your next road trip).
Great place. Price is right. Well worth it. Good gift shop. Thank you! App Wants me to keep writing. Have a great day!
This museum is a stop you don't want to miss if you're a fan of classic cars! Tons of classic trucks and cars from the 1930s and on, including a 1949 Ford Woody Station Wagon and a 1931 Auburn! Vintage memorabilia can be seen all across the museum, including many signs and other pieces of automotive decoration from the early 20th century. The couple that owns the museum were the most friendly people I've met, and were happy to talk about the collection and their work on their restoration projects. Stopping by was one of the best decisions I've ever made, and I will be looking forward to my next visit!
Nice, but not huge collection of cars, maybe 30, but with admission only being 5 dollars, I definitely think it's worth a stop if you are on the Route passing through Santa Rosa. Some unique cars I've never seen anywhere else. The Car Dozer out front! And a couple of unusual trucks inside. Nice gift shop as well, with some of the expected 66 type souvenirs as well as some more unique items that you don't see everywhere.
My husband absolutely loved this place! Our kids really enjoyed themselves too! Our youngest is 12 and still had a hard time keeping her hands off of the cars! She did, but it was hard!! She fell in love with her dad and my favorite car...65 mustang!! Now she wants one!! Our middle boy loves his photography and had a blast taking photos! This was our stop on route 66 that I wanted to hold off on purchasing our route 66 souvenirs and I was so right! Not that other places don't have good stuff and some of the same stuff too, but it felt right visiting the museum and purchasing our t-shirts, hoodies, magnet and a few other memorabilia! The woman who helped us was very nice! She let us take our time, filled us in on the town and her family history with the business!! Pretty sweet stop to make on our trip!
If you like cars, stop and pay the small fee into this place. Take a step back in time and check out some of these classics. Support small local places! Not only will you enjoy walking around but listening to the stories of other people as they walk through and relive their memories.
Fun place to stop along historic route 66 in the town of Santa Rosa. The store sells route 66 hats, t's and other gift shop items. To enter the museum, it's $5 per person. There are about 30, mostly 80's, vintage cars. It's one room and can be done in about 15 minutes or so, depending on how much time you want to spend taking pics.
A neat , privately owned collection of cars...some of which are for sale. The are several hot rods and classics, along with gas pumps and automobile memorabilia. Entrance fee is only $5. If you're a car buff and passing by, check it out.

Omg this place was amazing if you're a muscle car lover .. for a small fee you can go in and admire their car collection. But before you do that stop and admire all the 50's and 60's car memorabilia and of course lots of cool souvenirs to buy . read more

Paid the 5 bucks to go on the tour. Tons of gorgeous old cars to look at and photograph. This is definitely a fun stop through New Mexico! I did wish they had some more info on each car, its history and how it is important in the lexicon of our car culture from the famed history of Route 66. read more
