Our History

The Automobile Driving Museum was founded in 2001 with the vision that visitors would not only get an opportunity to see vintage cars but also enjoy a ride in one of the collection’s vintage, antique or special interest automobile.

Sparked by their fascination of vintage model cars, Board Members David Zimmerman, Mitchell Feinstein, Irving Davis and John Tonoyan, Jr. along with Earl Rubenstein, the Museum’s Curator and Stanley Zimmerman, principal sponsor, opened the Automobile Driving Museum in December 2002. To the delight of many, the museum houses one of the best collections of vintage vehicles on the west coast.

Today, the museum focuses on the preservation of orphaned vintage automobiles primarily from the 1930's through the 1950's in addition to classic vehicles from other time periods. The museum also offers access to a vintage automobile library, which includes books, magazines, service manuals and automobile users guides.

In November of 2006 the museum relocated to a new, 28,000 square foot facility in El Segundo, California to allow for expanded space to display its vintage automobile collection, gift shop and library.
