Lane Motor Museum

IMG_0875

   As far as car museums go this one is really unique. It specializes in mini European cars but also has amphibious vehicles, military vehicles, alternative fuel vehicles, prototypes, one-of-a-kind vehicles, and motorcycles. These are cars you won’t see anywhere else in the US. The lack of ropes or chains along with opened windows on most of the vehicles allows visitors to get close enough to peek inside without window glare – not a normal practice in auto museums.

  The museum is accessible.

   RV parking is in the rear of the building but the walk back up the driveway to the museum entrance is long and steep. Visitors with mobility issues may wish to be dropped off at the entrance. Museum  36.13983, -86.73462

  2. Ohmygosh, I called Jimmy to my computer to see the cars, 'cause I knew he'd like seeing them. He said next time we're in Tennessee, we'll stop. Looks like a lot of fun!

    1. He'll love it! There's a sign by each car with details about the construction and builder. Many were built by very small companies or are one-of-a-kind built in a garage by someone who wanted a car but couldn't afford to buy one.
