Today, as the Museum celebrates its 15th Anniversary, it is the largest classic car museum in the Northeast, with over 160 vehicles on exhibit in 5 connected buildings. Exhibits include over 25 Franklin Automobiles (made in Syracuse), the Post-War Collection, and Cars Made In New York State, among others.  

A special limited-time exhibit is opened each year at the Museum, built around a theme, specific year, or trend.  In May 2012, the Museum opened the “Crystal Collection”, to celebrate its 15th Anniversary.  This collection recaps 15 years of fantastic exhibits, and features examples from many of the special displays throughout the years.  These include a 1941 Lincoln Ambulance (Red Lights & Sirens), 1959 T-Bird (Nifty Fifties), 1908 Mora (Cars Made in New York State), 1953 Kaiser Dragon (Wild Things & Wild Rides), among others.

In addition to a world-class vintage car collection, the Museum also displays authentic period clothing, WWI & WWII airplane engines, and a tribute to the Bennett-Ireland Company, which was located on the site of the Museum.  

The Museum is open 7 days per week from 9am-5pm, and is handicap-accessible.  3 motorized scooters, a wheelchair, and 2 strollers are available for guest use at no charge on a first-come, first-served basis.
