Burt Reynolds' Thunderbird.

Tallahassee Automobile Museum

A motor head's dream but doesn't stop there. My favorites include: Dolly Parton collectors doll, Burt Reynolds' Thunderbird, Evel's triumph and the wall of old radios. The woman who greeted us at the front desk with the blue hair was a doll!

Steer and Batmobile.

Batmobile and Big Steer

At the front gate of the Tallahassee Automobile Museum sit a mock-up of the 1966 TV Batmobile on concrete blocks, plus a giant bull standing guard on a trailer. You can visit them for free and there's even a parking spot so you can pull over and snap a photo. There are real movie Batmobiles inside the museum (admission fee). I'm not sure why the bull is there.

Tallahassee Automobile Museum

Definitely not worth the $17.50 price of admission. Everything is cramped and you can barely see the whole car. This museum mostly had glass cases full of pocket knives. Weird collection of items.

Creamery van.

Automobile Museum - Lincoln Funeral Carriage

My husband and I just stopped, this place is right off I-10...$13.50 for adults and TOTALLY worth it! Saw a Smithfield Creamery van, a De Lorean, and the Lincoln funeral carriage. This guy has every car you could probably think of, and every Case brand knife that was ever made. There are a lot of other odd and ends that make this museum a great attraction to check out!

Cars and knives -- always a winning combination.
