About Lane Motor Museum

Lane Motor Museum Front Entrance Lane Motor Museum in Nashville, Tennessee features the largest collection of European vehicles in the United States. Approximately 150 cars and motorcycles not typically seen in the U.S. are on display.

Lane Motor Museum features a unique collection of mostly European automobiles, housed in a former 132,000 square foot bakery. The majority of our vehicles were built in the 1950s through 1970s although we have some as old as the 1920s and as new as 2000.

You will be introduced to a broad cross-section of vehicles; over 45 marques representing Asia, Europe, and North and South America. Politics, geography, familial relationships, and economics are but some of the factors which have shaped vehicles throughout history. This is a working museum with the goal being to maintain all vehicles in running order.

The majority of our collection is arranged by country–Austria, Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Sweden and the United States. Here you will learn how similar–and different–vehicles are from one part of the world to another–and why.

Here you will find:

* The largest Czechoslovakian
collection outside Europe
* Microcars
* Amphibious vehicles
* Competition cars
* Alternative fuel vehicles
* Military vehicles
* Motorcycles
* One-of-a-kind vehicles
