Cars

With over 200 classic and collectible cars on display, the DFW Car & Toy Museum is nirvana for car lovers. The museum is home to an extraordinary lineup of vehicles including rare exotics, unique oddities, historic marvels, European masterpieces, and pre-owned cars for local enthusiasts. The museum has two big showrooms, an exhibit with cars that shouldn’t exist, a micro cars gallery, a Volkswagen showroom, and an Asian car exhibit. Each automobile on display tells a fascinating story, representing decades of automotive innovation and craftsmanship. My personal favorite automobile was the Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo. I’ve loved Scooby Doo since I was a kid so I was so incredibly happy to take pictures and go inside the car.
