A must for any car lover. You can get up close to some interesting and rare US cars, mainly 50 and 60s. Unfortunately, Bill passed away last month but you can still appreciate his passion for cars.We spent a couple of hours talking with our helpful and informative guide (sorry I didnt ask his name).

Clean, beautiful antique, classic and hot rods. Very large collection, some for sale. Nice, dedicated employees. Bill Pratt and his wife are owners. Unfortunately, Mr. Pratt has dementia and no longer can offer his service as a guide. We were sorry to hear that.Very much worth a visit!

Brilliant Beautiful cars. I got so excited looking at them and chatted with two of the people working there. Both of them know Bill personally, one of them is his mechanic. The whole experience made me feel like I was attending a private car show as an honoured guest. This is a hidden gem for car enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates beauty, art and carftsmanship.

Lots of neat old cars. Bill really was into Lincoln Continentals. Good selection of Ford & GM vehicles. Mopar kind of underrepresented though.

Stumbled upon this museum here in Amarillo by happenstance. However, turned out to be one amazing visit. A personal collection of vintage and antique cars alike. Very reasonable cover to get in and kids under 12 are free. The teaser warehouse has about 30 cars from LaSalle, WWII Jeep, and Hudsons. In this room you are free to roam around and get your feet wet. Then as you are ready to go see the rest of the collection, they hand you off to an experienced tour guide who will show you the next warehouse and walk you and answer any questions you might have. Show you the Bob Seger owned car the Houston Astrodome creators car, and the Camaro SS. Overall, about 115 cars to look and see thru. Knowledgeable staff, clean restrooms, and just a fun day to go down memory lane.

A really impressive collection of cars both factory and modified. Knowledgable guide to show us around, really enjoyed the visit as part of seeing route 66 and the area. Allow around an hour for a trip.

You cannot even fathom the amazingness of being in the same space with so many wonderful vintage vehicles. The guides that took us through the collection were so knowledgeable and willing to share the interesting tidbits about the vehicles. We highly recommend going to see this collection of cars before it may possibly be dispersed.

An absolutely amazing place for a car junky like myself. I had an absolute blast. Extremely friendly and out going people. Very well kept property, clean, organized and a moderately sized collection.

Review №16

Very disappointing. The cars were packed in like sardines. So close together you couldnt walk around each car. I didnt take a single photo. We had a tour guide hovering over us the whole time. Definitely NOT worth $10. No senior discounts either. Oddly enough, the owners were proud of their cars not being original.

This is a must visit when in the area.We visited Bills Backyard Classics during our road trip in Texas. We were very impressed by the show room, the cleanliness and number of vehicles on display.The knowledge of the tour guide regarding your exhibits was endless, This is one site during our 3000mile road trip through Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico that impressed us greatly.Thank you very much for a very pleasant visit.Noel Cairns, Northern Ireland.

I have a grandson who is infatuated with old cars and old music. This place rocks, as far as old cars go. We had a great time and want to thank our guide. He was shocked at how a 7 year old knew so much about cars.

A fantastic museum for any nastalgic walk down memory lane. Lots of restored cars and trucks. You can tell the passion is alive for restoring and keeping these old vehicles up and running. The location is off the norm but worth it to go out of your way to visit.

Friendly staff, beautiful classic cars. My husband was in heaven and our son loved the old army jeep. I even found a couple of beauties. Sad to hear the owner is so sick but nice to know the family is keeping it going.

A lot of cars, he needs to add another building and leave more space between the cars. The ones inside could have the windows down to see the interiors better.
