WHEELS OF THE PAST

The motorcar changed the world, bridging continents. Automobiles have advanced since the early days. Elements such as hand cranks, manual crank windows, and external sun visors are now history, though, the steering wheel, gear knob, and dashboard remain as builders of a company’s identity. The museum of vintage automobile interiors respectfully sits inside the handcrafted site as a box-in-a-box, honoring the past, and respecting the forgotten. Extinct, precious, and irreplaceable. The museum allows these cars to take the user along for one mighty impressive journey through decades of innovation and evolution.
