LeMay – America’s Car Museum (ACM) announced the opening of American Built, their newest exhibition that celebrates America’s 250th anniversary through the automobiles and motorcycles that helped shape the nation’s history.
American Built transforms the Museum’s Level 2 Collection Gallery into a chronological journey through nearly a century of American mobility. Featuring vehicles from the Museum Collection alongside vehicles from select collectors, the exhibition showcases iconic American automobiles and motorcycles from many of the nation’s most recognizable manufacturers, and even some of the more unique ones, while exploring the evolution of design, engineering, craftsmanship, and culture.
More than a display of historic vehicles, American Built tells the story of America through the machines that connected communities, powered industry, inspired freedom, and transformed everyday life. By bringing together automobiles and motorcycles into one unified experience, the exhibition highlights the innovation, ingenuity, and people behind the machines that helped move a nation.
“The story of America is, in many ways, the story of mobility,” said Bruce Patton, Vice President of Curation and Education at LeMay – America’s Car Museum. “American Built celebrates the people, ideas, and machines that transformed how our nation moved, worked, and grew. As America’s Car Museum, there is no better time to tell that story than during the celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.”
American Built continues the Museum’s mission of preserving and celebrating America’s automotive heritage through engaging storytelling and historically significant vehicles while honoring the innovation and craftsmanship that continue to inspire future generations.
The exhibition is now open to the public as the Museum joins communities across the country in celebrating America’s 250th anniversary.
