This fantastic museum and transportation presentation needs to be on every car persons “Bucket List”. 

Cars of the Rich & Famous
Welcome to the Cars of the Rich and Famous Collection. In this collection you will be able to view cars owned by some of the biggest celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan and Princess Diana. High end brand named cars like Rolls Royce, Mercedes and Lamborghini. We don’t collect just any celebrity owned car, we want cars with stories. Like Zsa Zsa Gabor’s Roll Royce convertible, this was the car she was driving when pulled over during the famous incident when she slapped the Beverly Hills office. Or Elvis Presley’s custom built Cadillac station wagon that has been lost to the public for 37 years. Did you know the Bentley we have on display was Michael Jordan’s inspiration for the 2005 Air Jordan sneakers? Be sure to read the signs during your visit to get the interesting stories that accompany each automobile.
 

The Duesenberg Room
Here you will find the most beautiful and elegant car ever built, the Duesy. Our Duesenberg II collection is the largest collection of Duesenberg II cars ever assembled. Within these pages you’ll learn the history and background behind these remarkable automobiles. If you have a Duesenberg II please register it in our registry. The Volo Auto Museum is the official historian for the Duesenberg II, we have all the records and files obtained from the factory archive.
 
 
TV Movie Cars
Welcome to the TV and Movie car collection at the Volo Auto Museum. Here you will see some of the most famous and favorite cars from both the big and small screen. We began our collection in the 1990’s and have been refining the collection over the years to be able to provide the best of the best. Each of our TV and movie cars has a story. Most of them are actual screen used cars with the providence to document their authenticity. Volo Auto Museum is home to the only screen used Miami Vice Daytona on display in the world. We are also home to what many consider “The Holy Grail” of General Lees. It is the only surviving, un-restored General Lee in existence that was built during the first season. And it’s in pristine condition! However, sometimes screen used just isn’t an option. We look for cars that have some level of pedigree whether it’s a promotional car from Hollywood or a licensed reproduction. Each of our vehicles in our TV and Movie car collection is displayed with a sign providing the cars history.
The multitude of displays are too numerous to list, but in addition to the above you will experience displays representing:
