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.
    • One (1) month prior to the expiration date of the adoption, a renewal notice is sent to the “owner.” Payment for an adoption renewal must be received within 10 days of the adoption expiration date to keep the vehicle in your possession. If not renewed, it will become available for a new “owner.”
    • Personalized Certificate of Adoption (if you adopt in the name of a business, the business name and logo will be on the Certificate of Adoption along with your name).
    • Photograph of you in your adopted vehicle; the midget, bikes and motorcycles will be stand-by photos.
    • A dedicated sign at the vehicle with your name (and your company logo) prominently displayed along with the vehicle’s description.
