America's Automotive History

In honor of America’s 250th anniversary, American Built showcases automobiles and motorcycles from the Museum Collection alongside select vehicles on loan.

Spanning more than a century of history, the exhibition explores the evolution of American design, engineering, manufacturing, and innovation through a chronological journey featuring vehicles from many of America’s most recognizable manufacturers.

American Built invites guests to experience how mobility shaped the American experience while celebrating the people, machines, and breakthroughs that moved a nation.

ABOUT

What you'll Experience

Located in our Level 2 Collection Gallery you'll travel through history as American design, engineering, manufacturing, and performance evolved over generations. From pioneering automobiles of the early 1900s to legendary muscle cars, and groundbreaking motorcycles, each vehicle represents a chapter in America's story.

For the first time in a major exhibition, American Built has been designed without traditional stanchions, allowing you to experience the vehicles in a more open and engaging gallery setting.

To help preserve these historic vehicles for future generations, we kindly ask that you admire them from a respectful distance and refrain from touching them.

We can't wait to welcome you as you experience America's Automotive History like never before.
