Volo Auto Museum The Volo Auto Museum has a mix of authentic prop cars and antique autos. The antiqu autos are available for purchase, the props are for display only.
[Bill Weisner, 04/01/2013]Great museum with a collection that spans 4 buildings and a multi building/level antique mall. Surprisingly, most cars are for sale, so you can "what if" to your heart's content. If you go, don't miss bldg. #4. This is where the oldest collection rests. Beautiful limousines from the era where the driver sat uncovered, to perfectly restored 1940s convertibles. These cars look like new and you can poke your head right inside. Great for all ages and a fun surprise even if you're not into cars.
