My Cold Winter Discovery of the Millbury Classic Cars & Trucks Museum
It was one of those biting, cold winter November mornings in Ohio where the sky is clear and the sun shines
bright. I was driving aimlessly along the country backroads, watching the dormant cornfields rush by. I
wasn’t planning on stopping anywhere when I saw a sign for the Millbury Classic Cars & Trucks Museum.
It sat at 26929 Cummings Rd, Millbury, OH 43447, a large, unassuming building that you might mistake for a warehouse if not for the signage. I pulled a U-turn right there on the empty road and pulled into the lot.
The entry fee was $12 for adults. For those planning a visit with family, seniors and kids get in for $8, and little ones under 5 are free.
Everywhere you look, there is neon—vintage signs for Pontiac, Chevrolet, Route 66, and old gas pumps standing like sentinels from a bygone era. The collection on display includes over 90 cars and trucks ranging from American muscle to TV icons.
Here I am posting a selection of photos which I shot during the visit.
The entrance sets the perfect retro tone with beautifully restored vintage gas pumps, proudly displaying the iconic Texaco star and Fire-Chief Gasoline branding. The classic red and white color scheme of the pumps, paired with the large Texaco sign mounted on the pole, instantly transports you back to the golden age of full-service filling stations.
Center stage was a stunning 1982 DeLorean DMC-12, fully converted into the time
machine from Back to the Future. It was displayed on a turntable with the gull-wing door propped open.
It was displayed on a turntable with the gull-wing door propped open, showing off all
the movie-accurate wiring and gadgets along the side.
One of the most beloved cars in movie history: Herbie the Love Bug. The little
white Volkswagen Beetle looks exactly like from the Disney classics, sporting the signature red, white, and
blue racing stripes and the famous number "53" emblazoned on the hood. Flanked by a bright yellow Sunray
Gasoline pump.
The psychedelic teal, green, and orange color scheme of the Mystery
Machine van from Scooby Doo is vibrant enough to wake you up on a cold morning. The display also
featured life-sized figures of the entire teenage detective squad—Fred, Daphne, Velma, and
Shaggy—standing alongside the sliding door.
The collection on display includes over 90 cars and
trucks and various artifacts from the bygone era.
A 1976 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser finished in a classic baby blue with a white
roof. The placard revealed it’s a "Resto-Mod" beast, swapping the original engine for a 350 V8 and upgrading to
an NV4500 transmission and disc brakes.
A 1967 Ford Fairlane 500 XL finished in a beautiful champagne gold, this car
perfectly captures the transition from cruising to racing.
The 1962 Chevrolet Impala was pure elegance in chrome and steel. This is a
classic "sleeper," packing a massive 454 cubic inch V8 that puts out 525 horsepower, all controlled by a
Muncie 4-speed manual transmission.
The 1966 Pontiac GTO with a powerful 389 cubic inch V8 engine stood proudly in a
striking cream/yellow color.
A signage of Phillips 66, which is a major American energy company behind
a cherry-red 1965 Chevrolet Nova.
This flawless 1968 Chevrolet C10 featured custom wheels and a beautiful wood
floor in the truck bed. Under the hood there was a modern fuel-injected LS 5.3 Vortec engine.
A 1967 Austin Model FX4 in its day was the most widely used taxi in London. The
cab on display still had the original diesel engine and that the old "Tax Hire" meter is visible inside.
A bright yellow and white Brazilian-built 1975 Volkswagen Type 2
bus restored as a 23-window Deluxe Samba with 4-speed manual transmission, sliding sunroof and whitewall
tires.
The International Harvester B-Series pickup truck built between 1959 to 1961 before
being replaced by the C-Series.
The Cadillac Eldorado luxury car manufactured and marketed by the Cadillac Motor Car
Division of General Motors.
