relive the excitement of your first car
Adopt a CarRemember your first car? Whether it was a hand-me down, clunker, or hot rod, it was yours! You can relive the excitement of your first car or the first car that made your heart race by adopting a car from the Elliott’s permanent collection.
About Our Adopt A Car Program
relive the excitement
You may find a make and model that holds special memories for you, or maybe one you owned in the past or wanted to own. We also have trucks, motorcycles, bikes, a school bus, and a field-tested swamp buggy available for adoption!
The Adopt-a-Car Program offers an opportunity to not only adopt a vehicle, but also provide financial support which will ensure the care and maintenance of over 80 vintage automobiles and other vehicles in its collection.
-
- Currently there 58 vehicles in this program and ONLY 11 vehicles available for adoption … they get adopted quickly!
- You choose a vehicle to adopt in your name and/or your business … on a first come first “adopt” basis.
- Adoption is for one (1) year; the year begins the date payment is received.
- Pricing levels are $100, $250, $500, and $1,000 depending on the vehicle adopted.
