Vintage Grill & Car Museum, Automobile museum and restaurant in Weatherford, Texas

The Vintage Grill & Car Museum occupies a 1930s building at 202 Fort Worth Highway that once housed the McDavid Oldsmobile dealership and a gas station. Its museum displays 11 cars, among them a 1930 Buick, a 1948 Studebaker sheriff patrol car, a 1964 Lincoln Continental owned by President Lyndon B. Johnson, and a 1975 Trabant. The restaurant serves farm-to-table southern cuisine using produce from the Weatherford Farmers Market.

The site's buildings date from around 1919; by 1921, when the Bankhead Highway reached Weatherford, the lot held a 50-car garage, an auto sales and office building, gas pumps and a repair shop. The former gas station later served as Weatherford's Greyhound bus station. Fort Worth oilman Tom Moncrief opened the museum and restaurant in early 2015, after a 1988 visit to a similar Sydney venue on his honeymoon.

The restaurant calls its menu farm-to-table southern cuisine and buys produce from the Weatherford Farmers Market. The museum opened in early 2015 in a former 1930s service station that had also served as the town's Greyhound bus stop. A companion event center one block west, in the 13,000-square-foot Hobson Building, keeps original 1886 livery-stable rock walls and seats over 200.

The museum sits along Fort Worth Highway and is easily accessible from the main road through town. Visitors can tour the car displays at their own pace and then enjoy a meal at the restaurant or explore the event space.

The 1964 Lincoln Continental on display was owned by President Lyndon B. Johnson. Two cars in the collection appeared in the films The Godfather and Pearl Harbor, and a 1975 Trabant represents the East German marque.
