Collector Expansion The museum is actively growing its collection with recent acquisitions including five automobiles in 2025, presenting an opportunity to position partnerships around exhibit sponsorships, loan programs, and commemorative events that align with collectors and enthusiasts.

Grant Enabled A $750K Public Facilities Program grant secured in 2025 enhances capital project credibility and funding capability, suggesting opportunities to pursue co-branded fundraising, sponsorships, and public-private partnerships for new exhibits, facility upgrades, and community programs.

Community Partnerships Active collaborations with local organizations and events (Women in Motorsports Film Festival, Bootlegger’s Ball, Philharmonic partnerships) indicate a receptive audience for sponsorships, ticket packages, and experiential programs that cross-promote tourism, education, and culture.

Education & Accessibility Mission emphasizes multi-generational education and transportation history; potential sales opportunities exist in licensing, corporate and school group programs, virtual tours, and sponsored educational content that leverages the museum’s extensive collection.

Digital & Visitor Reach Tech stack and online presence (AWS, Joomla, Google Analytics, maps, and reviews widgets) show readiness for digital marketing partnerships, data-driven audience development, and sponsored digital experiences to expand regional and national visitor traffic.
