Texas Museum Of Automotive History

Automobile racing starting in Fair Park in 1901 and culminated with the staging of the United States Formula One race in 1984. We are working with the City of Dallas, Dallas Parks and Recreation Department and Friends of Fair Park to build a world-class Museum of Automotive History in Fair Park. The Museum will provide attendees with an overview of the history of the automobile from 1901 to 1984, and showcase the interaction between racing and commercial car development during that period. The Museum will feature an ongoing and open restoration capability, (The Restoration Factory) designed to educate visitors about the automobile manufacture and restoration process. The “Restoration Factory” will employ “at risk” youths and will function to educate and provide a career path for selected individuals. The operating goal of the Museum will to become recognized as one of the top 10 Automotive Museums in the world, thereby enriching the State of Texas, the City of Dallas, its citizens and its visitors.
