I hve been there many times for Allegheny Region PCA social events. Very nice collection of cars and bikes to look at. A great place to have a cocktail party.

Yup, that place is pretty cool. I used to date a chick that lived on Criag St. I saw some post here about a 73 RS in Pittsburgh. Once I realized how close it was to my friend, I made a point to drop by and visit. Awesome people. They were actually pulling covers off of cars for me to check out. This was several years ago, but supposedly he has/had the second largest Porsche collection.

The owner of a company I used to work for in Tustin, Ca. has a similar type car museum/banquet hall and corporate meeting hall. No Porsche's yet. He has some vintage drag winners, Dale Earnhardts Championship Car, 1994 America's Most Beautiful Roadster, The First Gurney Eagle, and a 1917 buckboard racer to name a few.

Wow - there are some historically significant cars in that museum! Anybody know if they are on permanent display or are they there on consignment?

That would be a great place for a reception

cars

the cars are on permanent display and are owned by one individual. When i was there they had a ferrari 250? california that the owner drove to fla and back.
They also have some motorcylces and a couple of race cars that I am not familiar but they are very old.

You used to be able to tour it for 5 bucks so i was lucky to get in a couple years back to see them with my kids.

I've been there a few times. The cars and dealership are owned by a member of this family. http://www.mediatransparency.org/funderprofile.php?funderID=3 Needless to say, all the cars are theirs. I tried in vain to hook my single at the time brother up with one of their daughters. Didn't work out.

Does anybody know if this collection has been broken up a bit? I think I see cars in the pics that are now in other hands.
