Visit McFeeters Motor Museum to see lovingly restored vehicles from a range of eras. Even if you’re not a motor vehicle fan, the impressive street rod machines and custom cars are a spectacular sight. Set aside plenty of time to admire more than 60 vehicles presented by the McFeeter family.
The private collection features vehicles dating from between 1902 and 2015. Before you step inside, take a moment to view old models outside along with vintage signs. Inside, inspect the mint green 1902 English Mechanic, complete with mannequins depicting fashion from the era. A range of old and new Holdens impress fans of the carmaker, while rows of motorbikes on a second level around the walls compete for attention.
Kids and adults love the display featuring a towed camper from the 1950s, with a mannequin family enjoying the trip. See a 1972 two-seater British Jensen Healey convertible, a cherry-red 1958 Porsche and a Jaguar XJ-S from 1984. Quirky vehicles join vintage and classic cars, including a Japanese funeral car and a 1964 XM Falcon called Barbie, with a colorful pink and yellow paint job.
Walk up the stairs to get a closer look at the second level. This is also a great vantage point for panoramic photos of the venue. In the Die Cast Model Shop, browse a large range of model cars to find your favorite tiny replicas to bring home. The souvenir shop provides further opportunities to buy memorable themed gifts.
