Closure

In 2018 the museum announced that it would close it doors. The reason given for its closing was to help
provide funding for the newly established division Dick's Classic Garage. Ninety of the cars were taken to
auction. The remainder of the cars in the collection were moved to Dick's Classic Garage.[1] The plan was
to be able to provide funding for the new museum much longer than income from admissions taken
would sustain.
