I heard about this place and finally checked it out yesterday. Great people who operate it, and even more cool they let you sit in many of the cars. The owner is over 90 yrs old, owns all of the cars, and is super cool! If you’re ever in Arizona and in the Phoenix area go check it out! Here are some pics and info. https://www.martinautomuseum.orgLOCATION / HOURS 4320 W. Thunderbird Rd. Glendale, AZ 85306 Open Tuesday to Sunday 9 am to 5 pm Closed Mondays

Those are just a few photos. Lots more to see if you visit.
They had a small room where they were getting rid of items with a blowout sale yesterday. There were only a few things left and I walked away with some good stuff on the CHEAP!!! Only stuff they had left over was a few NASCAR items.

Went there for Scott Kilborn's celebration of life, It is a place FULL of automotive eye candy. Holy cow - didn’t know he passed away. Is that the guy who ran the (I think) blue 2nd gen Camaro at Speedworld?

Was there last winter on vacation, A LOT of nice cars and worth the visit. I kept putting it off, but finally checked it out. Well worth the $15 entry fee.

hear they have a nice car show there , not sure how often.
Been wanting to go , just never worked out to to do so
The 65 hemi car they just got recently It’s open weekly. I also liked the fact there wasn’t a lot of people there which gives more access to the cars for photos or crawling around them.
