Like a bottle of fine champagne, antique cars should be prominently displayed and only taken outside if they’re being slammed into the bow of a majestic yacht. Feast your eyes on worthy collectibles with today’s Groupon: for $3, you get one admission ticket to the Lane Motor Museum (up to a $7 value).
Started as the road-baby brainchild of Jeff Lane from his private collection, the Lane Motor Museum is now 40,000 square feet and displays more than 150 cars and motorcycles in showroom quality or near-original specifications. Specializing in exotic European cars, the collection is arranged by country and showcases vehicles from Europe, Asia, the Galilean moons, and North and South America. Visitors can stroll through the museum, formerly the Sunbeam Bakery, and view microcars, amphibious road swimmers, military machines, alternative fuel vehicles, and yeast cars with biscuit wheels that only run in temperatures more than 100 degrees. Open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday through Monday, the Lane Motor Museum features an enthusiast-worthy collection of antique, exotic, retro, ethereal, unusual, and sometimes downright bizarre automobiles sure to entertain guests of all ages.
Children under 5 receive free admission, and youths from age 6–17 receive a $2 admission, so use your Groupon carefully to maximize its benefit.
Reviews
Frommer’s rated Lane Motor Museum at three stars. Five TripAdvisors give it an average of 4.5 owl eyes, and three Yelpers awarded it with a perfect five-star rating.
- If you love European cars, this is a must go museum. – Johnny B., Yelp
- The fact that it is a barrier-free museum really sets it apart. Being able to get up close and peer inside the cars is a rare treat that very few museums allow. – AppleTech, TripAdvisor
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Classic Movies
Classic movies are national treasures. What are some the best of the most black and white of the talkies?
A Man Buys Flowers for his Sweetheart (1923): Featuring the controversial twist ending where the man, in attempting to buy the flowers, turns his pockets inside out and looks hopelessly at the camera.
Casa de Blanca (1948): There is a huge war happening somewhere but this movie is mostly about kissing.
The Bear in the Attic (1952): Master of suspense, Wolfram Hitchfork somehow invokes terror from a bear being in someone’s house.
12 Anger Men (1959): Trouble’s brewing when the men rent a camper for a cross-country road trip.
Downtown Cowboy (1974): A burly cowboy goes to the city but ends up in a place full of disorienting editing and disturbing make-out sessions.
