automobile driving museum

This is a relatively small but surprising museum. Great and enthusiastic staff that will share their knowledge to anyone who would like to listen. The entry fee is actually a donation with suggested fees. This includes a ride (on Sundays) on a well preserved classic car (this alone worth the entry fee). Unlike other museums, here, the staff will encourage you to touch and take pictures inside some cars! Small suggestion - the museum is very close to the LAX airport, you can stop by before taking off (3 hours is more than enough).I had lots of fun! Thanks! Say hi to Liz!

we were made to feel like we were an intrusion to 'their' day. they didn't want to talk to us about anything, untill we paid. so we walked away. if you love souped up snazzy cars, go to some other 'show', where you might feel like a valued customer

What a wonderful little treat this museum was. Not only do they have a beautiful collection of classic cars - mainly old American models, but even as a a nice surprise to this Brit a few of ours too - they are not only for show. I went on a beautiful morning and was given a ride in a couple of the cars. What an amazing experience. While I was there, several people stopped by in their own classic cars, which added even more to the visit. If you are in the area and you like cars, you simply have to go.

The Automobile Driving Museum has its name referring to the very interesting fact that all the cars in the museum are ready to drive on the street. This is quite a challenge to keep all these machines ready for use on the street, Really Amazing. Another point of interest is the note that the museum's admission charge is a recommended donation. Note only recommended. The autos are in one large room with about eighty cars. There is a glassed in room that visitors are not allowed to enter that houses the ultra rare classics that can be viewed from a distance. There are cars here that are in the Rose Parade each year, cars that have carried dignitaries and even one customized Packard Pickup conversion. I found the quality quantity and condition of all the cars to be excellent. After talking to one of the docents I learned that they had several cars on loan from the Peterson Museum. Quite an honor to have loaners from such a prestigious museum. The Automobile Driving Museum also has multiple additional warehouses with several hundred other cars that they rotate into the displays. This makes the museum ever changing and always interesting. Each Sunday they choose three cars and give people rides in the cars. Every Sunday they choose three different cars. Wow! and if you check in with Yelp there is an offer for Free Ice Creams. What a deal! The quality and selection of autos is marvelous and it is a worthy stop for anyone. When I was picking up my son who came in on a flight at Los Angeles International Airport, it was a simple 5 minute drive to pick him up. I found the museum to be a much more satisfying stop than a cell phone parking lot at the airport. So, plan a little extra time into your airport pickup or drop off and enjoy The Automobile Driving Museum. It is another one of the many small museums in beautiful Los Angeles area.

Nice original and replica vintage car exhibit. Friendly staff and visitors. Inexpensive, easy to find, free parking.

Small little museum/garage with a nice collection of antique cars. If you like antiques, try and stop in for a peak.

I stopped in for a Big Band Swing Dance and loved the place. It us very small, but has a good selection of cars. I ended up spending half my time in the museum instead of the dance.

If you're on the way to LAX and have time to spare visit this Museum. Set up as an old time luxury dealership and a garage, all the cars are driven. The cars are arranged in a logical time line and looked after by some very dedicated and knowledgeable staff. Allow yourself a couple of hours to go through the museum. This is a down to earth presentation of cars with no pretentions. They were cars that were driven by ordinary people and will bring back memories.

If you are near LAX airport save a couple hours to stop in and enjoy this fantastic auto museum. The autos range in age, type and purpose from just about every era. If you are a real good scheduler, you can arrange to ride in one of the autos as they periodically drive them around the block on a rotating basis to keep the seals oiled. Give them a call and plan your visit!

I was introduced to the ADM on one of my birthdays and Loved it! Since that time I have been to the Car shows & coin shows. I liked the place so much I referred a friend to ADM for her Wedding. I am thrilled that she is having her ceremony & reception at ADM. I can't wait!!!!! I just know everyone will have a GREAT time !

My husband and I enjoyed our visit to this fun car museum. The range of automobiles is excellent. Perhaps the most unique feature is the opportunity to ride in selected cars on Sundays. We live in the area so it is easy for us to get there but there is also an opportunity for travelers passing through LAX on a layover. The museum is about a ten minute taxi ride from the airport.

We happened to be in the are so we stopped by the museum. There is no charge only suggested donations. Since we were visiting with small children and wouldn't be able to stay too long I gave less than the suggested donation telling them we wouldn't be able to stay so long because of the kids. They were very understanding and did not pressure us to give more at all. They do accept credit cards. The museum was very interesting. They have the cars in sections by the age starting with the late 1800, 1910s, 1920s, etc. It was interested to see. My son liked seeing the original prices of the cars. We had some questions and they were able to provide one of the staff to act as a guide for us which was nice. Here was very informative. There was 1 non-working car that they let the kids go in. If you go on Sundays they give rides in the local streets. I believe they said you need to be either 10 or 12 years old to get a ride in the cars.

Fantastic display of cars and super knowledgeable docents who let my kids sit in some classic vehicles. Needs some other materials around/about the cars, however.

Different to other car museums. Check the website as they often have special events, but more particularly because most Sundays there is the chance to ride in 3 of the museum's cars. Great value, and well worth a visit.

Thank you for visiting the ADM. We are glad you enjoyed your visit. Make sure to tell your friends and come back and see us real soon.All the best,The ADM Management Team
