Take a step back in time and immerse yourself in our collection of storefronts throughout the museum. From dealerships and diners to gas stations and speed shops, you’ll be transported to a past lifetime that complements the automobiles in our museum.
Auburn Automobile Dealership
This dealership storefront replicates the appearance of a typical small-town Auburn dealership circa 1935, housing a two-car showroom and a one-bay service area. The construction of this dealership storefront was made possible by the generous contributions of the Auburn Cord Duesenburg Club.
Standard Oil Gas Station
This replica gas station showcases a standard gas station complete with an attendant and a drive up bell. If you're walking by on your visit or tour, make sure to STOMP the rubber line and listen to the bell ding!
The Valentine Diner
Manufactured by the Valentine Diner Co of Wichita, KS in 1948, this diner was one of 2000 created between 1938 and 1961. This particular diner was located in Angola, IN. This diner was donated to NATMUS in 2010 and was restored by a passionate group of volunteers, ready to be loved by museum visitors for years to come.
