Fabulous Classic Cars at the Bennett Classics Antique Auto Museum

The Bennett Classics Antique Auto Museum features one of the most impressive collections of classic cars in the US. The museum is located in Forest City, North Carolina, and it has more than 50 vehicles on display, including cars, motorcycles, trucks, and tractors.

The museum was founded by Buddy and Joe Bennett, two brothers who were born in Burnsville. They started working as car dealers for their uncle, Joe Young, and they developed a passion for automobiles, particularly flathead Ford V8s, sometime in the early 1960s. Later on, they set up their own businesses in Rutherford County and began to collect automobiles. As the collection grew, the brothers decided to open a museum to give automobile enthusiasts the opportunity to view the stunning vehicles in their collection.

The collection of vehicles in the museum covers eight decades of auto history, ranging from a 1923 Fordson to a 2004 Thunderbird. Some of the vehicles that visitors can expect to see in the museum are a 1928 Buick, 1935 Chevy Sedan, 1939 Ford Coupe, 1948 Mack, 1951 Mercury Coupe, 1956 T-Bird, 1964 GTO, 1976 Caddy, 1978 Lincoln, and others. The museum collection is constantly growing, with new vehicles being acquired from time to time. Those who are interested in purchasing some of vehicles that are on display can make inquiries at the museum.

The Bennett Classics Antique Auto Museum is open from 10 am to 5 pm on Mondays to Saturdays. Admission fees are $8 to $10 for adults and $4 for children. The museum is also a popular venue for special events and social gatherings throughout the year.
