Lane Motor Museum is located in Nashville, Tennessee and features a collection of mostly European automobiles. The museum is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, founded by Jeff Lane, his father having founded the family's automotive extrusion business, L&L Products in Romeo, Mich. in 1958.[1]
Museum
The museum was established in 2003 by Lane, beginning with his personal collection of 70 vehicles in Nashville's former American Bread Company (1951-1994). The collection currently includes art, memorbilia and over 450 vehicles,[2] with 150 cars displayed on any given day. The museum features European cars of unusual design, propeller-driven vehicles, microcars, three-wheeled cars, amphibious vehicles, alternative fuel vehicles, military vehicles, competition cars, one-off vehicles, prototypes — and 23 Tatras.[3]
Since 2010 the museum has hosted an annual fundraiser where donors can drive a museum car on a nearby rural route.[4] [5]
