What visitors say
Tom, the owner, was very gracious and answered all my questions about his collection. It's a wonderful collection and display, and my favorite part was the garage room with all the works in progress. The smell in there alone is well…
What a gem to find in Galax Virginia. Lots of antique cars and other things. Tom was great at telling us the history of the cars we asked about. We really enjoyed ourselves there.
This place is a jewel. He has so many unique cars in his private collection. Tom is a friendly guy with great stories about his collection. I enjoyed following my husband and our friend around listening them ooh and ahh over all these…
