Ever wonder why the characters of Rust Valley Restorers feel right at home at our museum?
Because JF Launier — the heart and soul of JF Kustoms and the main contributor behind the Desert Speed Heritage Museum — has deep roots in the Okanagan car culture.
Inside you’ll find cars that actually appeared on the series, alongside world-renowned show cars JF has built over the years, plus incredible machines donated by other passionate collectors that form part of Canada’s motorsports heritage.
It’s not just a museum. It’s a living piece of the Okanagan story.
Come see it for yourself.

Friendly Face from Osoyoos History
Meet "Howie"
Our cheerful local tow truck and beloved museum greeter!
This historic vehicle is one of the very first tow trucks from the dealership that once stood on Osoyoos's Main Street.
Long before Indian Flame Restaurant occupied the site, it was home to Howard's Esso Service Station, a full-service Chevrolet dealership that kept the community moving for decades.
Today, Howie stands as a proud reminder of Osoyoos's automotive heritage - a piece of local history that continues to bring smiles, just as it did in its early days.
