The Cars of Dreams Private Museum is an unparalleled collection reflecting owner/curator John Staluppi's passion for classic car design. John Staluppi's car connoisseur status is well earned as a life long enthusiast and leader in the automotive industry. His museum celebrates the evolution in dream car design and is a comprehensive collection spanning over 50 years. Frequently updated with high caliber acquisitions, the museum is a constantly evolving, living collection.

Focusing on the golden age of American car design, post WWII - 1970's, the collection spotlights the era that was a perfect breeding ground for the classic cars we cherish today. Adding a further dimension to the experience is the exhibition space - a nostalgic village equipped with some of America's best loved icons that best reflect this golden age.

Located in the heart of Palm Beach County - known as America's tropical playground - is John Staluppi's Cars of Dreams Museum - a unique playground in its own right. Housed within a building larger than a football field, is one of the worlds great car collections set in a custom built village representing small town Americana to a tee. Inspired by John Staluppi's love of automobiles, Cars of Dreams is a soul stirring experience that transports us back to the roots of the American car culture and how it transformed the landscape of the United States.

For those of us whose earliest memories are in the years following World War II, Cars of Dreams Museum is able to capture the spirit of that era through thoughtful placement of cherished American icons throughout the extensive collection. The result is a sensory smorgasbord that creates a flood of emotion. Since much of the car collection is mid- century, a number of the village structures represent that period. From the post war modern curves of Bob's Big Boy, to the 50's fantastic fins at the drive-inn, we experience the romance and mystery of that unique time in American history.

It's an amazing place that is open to the public about 3 times a year.  Alas for all of 2011 it will be closed for renovations.


There are hundreds upon hundreds upon humdreds of pictures on the Cars Of Dreams Museum website http://www.carsofdreams.com/ if you have time to flick through all their albums it's worth it.
