Martin Auto Museum, Automotive museum in Phoenix, United States
Martin Auto Museum is a car museum in Phoenix, Arizona, that displays a large collection of vehicles from many different eras. The vehicles range from early antique cars to hot rods and custom-built machines from across the 20th and 21st centuries.
The museum opened in 2008 as a nonprofit organization with the goal of preserving vehicles and objects that document the history of the automobile. Since then, the collection has grown to cover more than a century of automotive development.
The museum connects people through shared passion for automobiles and shows how cars shaped American life and culture. The collection tells stories about the relationship between mobility and everyday life across several generations.
The museum is easy to get around, with exhibition areas organized by vehicle type and era. Visitors who want to see the full collection without rushing should plan for around two to three hours.
Alongside the vehicles, the collection includes old gas pumps and roadside signs from the early days of American fuel station culture. These objects show how streets and daily life changed as cars became part of everyday life, adding a layer to the exhibition that goes beyond the vehicles themselves.
