The ultimate garage project - the "Flying Flea" was designed in 1934 so everyday people could build an airplane at home. (Folding wings included, so it fits in the garage!) Our rare two-seater waited decades to be finished before finally taking flight in 1998. Home-built dreams really can soar.

Come see it at Lane Motor Museum. Thu–Mon, 10–5.

Where else can you see the smallest car ever made, an amphibious giant, and a propeller-powered machine all in one afternoon? There's more to Music City than Broadway, so come find the best-kept secret in town.

We're open Thu–Mon, 10–5.

Meet two ends of our collection: the Peel P50, the smallest production car ever made (4'5" long, 250 lbs, and so light it has no reverse gear - you just pick it up and turn it around 😄), and the LARC-LX, an amphibious military giant that's 62 feet long, weighs 194,000 lbs, and rolls on 9-foot-tall tires. One you could carry. One you could practically live in. And they're both under our roof. Come see the full range in person.

When a 5-year-old picks the museum and the whole family leaves happy? That's a win. 💛

We love that our collection is unusual enough to keep the littlest visitors entertained - these aren't your typical cars, after all. Thank you for the kind words (and for letting us make the shortlist)!

Bring your crew and see for yourself.

Meet the 1948 Harvey Towne Shopper - a 600-pound microcar that promised to sell for just $600 and get an incredible 50 mpg. Marketed as "the postwar housewife's best friend," it put the engine in the back and a trunk up front for your shopping bags. Our favorite detail? A clever foot-pedal latch under the front bumper, so you could pop the trunk without ever setting your shopping bags down!

Billed as "The Small Car with a Thousand Uses," it even landed on the cover of Popular Mechanics in 1948, but very few were ever built, making this little survivor a rarity.

Besides the one-of-a-kind cars inside, we've got something almost as hard to find in this city: a place to park that won't cost you a dime.

No meters, no garages, no circling the block - just pull right up and start your adventure. Ten minutes from downtown, open Thu–Mon, 10–5.

Come see (and park) with ease. 🚗

The artistry, the craftsmanship, the attention to detail — we love it all. There's something about a classic car that modern manufacturing just can't replicate: hand-shaped curves, thoughtful details, and a character you can feel the moment you see it. At Lane Motor Museum, we celebrate the vehicles built in an era when getting there was half the art. Come admire them in person. Thu–Mon, 10–5.

No flights, no long drives, no stress - just 200+ of the world's most unusual cars, ten minutes from downtown Nashville. It's the easy day-out answer for restless kids on break (and the grown-ups who need something to do with them). Free parking, about two hours to explore, and free admission for kids 5 and under. Come make a fall break memory!
