My friend and I stopped here for a tour just trying to kill some time in Columbus. The owner was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and excited to share fun facts about every car he has. It doesnt look like much at a glance, but the cars are gorgeous and the owner is a delightful guide!

If youre looking for something to do in German Village and you love cars, this is the place to go. I recommend you to call, since its by appointment. They have cars from the 40, 50 & 60. Also plates from different states and other countries... I found one of Puerto Rico! The host guide you and talks about every car they have, and kindly answer questions if you have any particular doubt.

Great little bit of history tucked away in Columbus with a private collector who’s done his research and gives awesome little fun facts and trivia questions during the whole walk through. Thank you Steve for the amazing experience. 5/5 would recommend!

Such a fun place! Im really glad my group was able to get in today and see all the terrific vehicles. They sure do fit a lot of cars in a small space. That shouldnt keep you from booking an appointment, though. I dont want to ruin the fun so Ill keep my comments about the actual vehicles short. There have not one, but two Edsels! And a car with a record player. Yes, a record player. Vinyl.Go see this place!

I called the museum, Steve one of the owners answered. I asked for reservations for my wife and I he said there was an opening we went. Wow, what an experience great collection of license plates, Cars in factory condition some very rare. Also, nice collection of military vehicles and really neat military motorcycles. This shop was amazing and the knowledge I received from Steve was priceless. I would recommend this Classic shop for a great adventure through history.

My brother-in-law and myself drove there from Ashland without a reservation and were lucky enough to catch Steve just finishing a tour. We asked if we could look around. Steve finished with the other group and proceeded to give us the most entertaining and informative tour of his collection. He is obviously passionate about his cars and loves sharing that with others. Thanks Steve.

To my knowledge, it is a private car museum owned by two life-long friends that have been collecting cars since their early 20s. As of late, these guys have accumulated between 40-60 cars, that are scattered around Columbus. This location holds roughly 20 cars, ranging from mostly old classics, to newer sports cars, with the vast majority being mint.Ive passed this place so many times in the past, and I had always wondered whats inside... especially after seeing the pictures online, and even snapping a few myself as they rotated cars! I noticed the door was open on Labor Day, and I decided to stop in.I spoke briefly with Steve Wagner, and its clear that theyre just two car guys in love with what they do, and in love with these great classics. Their collection is open to all, but only by appointment. Tours are free of charge as far as Im aware, and they prefer to hold them on the weekends. Contact information is still hard to find, but it is out there.Overall, this is just one of the many gems lying around Columbus, waiting to be discovered! I highly recommend taking some time to stop by, and to hear the stories they have to share!!

Had a great time at the museum. The owner took time out of his day to give us a tour. He was super knowledgeable and had great stories behind his auto collection. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys the stories behind the cars as much as the cars themselves.

Steve Wagner and his partner very generously share their love of cars and their collection of over 40 autos and related memorabilia with anyone who makes an appointment to visit. Anyone with a passion for -- or just admiration -- for the great American automobile should visit!
