Learning about cars in a museum is safer than experiencing it first-hand by accidentally ingesting a carburetor. Embrace automobiles with today's Groupon: for $5, you get a two-for-one day pass to the Canadian Automotive Museum (a $10 value), located on Simcoe Street South.

The Canadian Automotive Museum illustrates Canada's history in the automotive industry, spanning the details of economic development, Canadian craftsmanship, and valuable and rare car exhibits. The museum showcases around 65 vehicles built during 1898 to 1981, and artifacts on display include motorcycles, trucks, pianos, and the short-lived piano-car. Famous automotive names such as Brooks Steam, Redpath, Tudhope, and McKay exhibit Canada's impact on the auto industry, and a variety of international cars adds to the overall wealth of history inhabiting the 25,000-square-foot building. An array of motor-car and associated parts exemplify the development of engineering skills and craftsmanship in steel steed building from 1770 to present day.

A group of Oshawa businessmen decided to create the Canadian Automotive Museum in 1961 after a fortuneteller envisioned the concept while napping in a horse-drawn buggy. The collection pays homage to Canada's contributions to the auto industry while also giving a general overview of the tricked-out rides of years past. The museum stays open 364 days a year, closing on Christmas Day—when the cars come to life.
