Before the Henry J hit the road, there was the 1948 AMP Prototype. 🚘💡

Built by American Metal Products (AMP) in Detroit, this one-of-a-kind experimental car was designed as a lightweight, low-cost compact for post-war America. Kaiser-Frazer later acquired the prototype, tweaking its design to create their famous budget-friendly economy car, the Henry J.

Today, we made history at NATMUS! 🪏🚗

For the first time in our museum’s history, we officially broke ground on a new storage building, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the National Auto & Truck Museum.

Our new storage facility will give NATMUS additional space to properly preserve and protect vehicles, artifacts, and pieces of transportation history for generations to come.

Thank you to Mayor Dave Clark, our Board of Directors, volunteers, supporters, city officials, project partners, and everyone who joined us today to celebrate this milestone. Your continued support makes moments like this possible.

Today we turned the first shovels of dirt, and soon we’ll be building toward NATMUS’s future ⭐️

Here’s to making history together!

This 1969 Ford Torino Cobra (Talladega) is on an original Holman & Moody chassis that is believed to have run as the #115 Stropped Motorsports Fairlane in 1967. It won the Riverside 500 in 67 with International Motorsports Hall of Famer Parnelli Jones at the helm.
It has been reskinned displaying the #98 yellow paint that Benny Parsons famously drove to multiple victories in the ARCA series.
This car is generously on loan at our museum from Barry Miller.
