Virginia's Largest Family Collection is off the beaten path but well worth a trip for the car enthusiast. Examples of Carter, Star, Stephen, Cleveland, Hupmobile, Paige, Nash, Essex and the big iron - Packard and Cadillac are among the unique cars displayed. Most of the collection is comprised of cars from the 1920s and 1930s. The oldest being a 1904 Carter Electric Motorette and the most recent a 1948 Playboy Model A-48.
The museum features 32 vintage cars on display along with Stationary Engines, Horse-Drawn Equipment, Old Farm Tools, Period Advertising and a myriad of relics. The exhibit presents the preservation of many once-everyday items whose purpose and meanings were almost forgotten as the race towards progress rendered them obsolete - things many people wouldn't have thought to save. However our collector, the late John Dudley, made it his life-long hobby to bring together the autos and memorabilia that he remembered growing up, to share with others. |
