Tupelo Automobile Museum

The Tupelo Automobile Museum housed over 150 vehicles arranged chronologically, showcasing classic and rare cars from different manufacturing eras. The collection spanned from early automobiles to contemporary models, offering visitors a comprehensive view of automotive evolution.

Frank Spain founded this automotive collection, which began as a private endeavor and later became a museum destination. The operation ended in 2019 when the collection was sold to support an educational foundation.

The collection included the 1976 Lincoln Mark IV previously owned by Elvis Presley and the Leslie Special vehicle featured in The Great Race film.

The museum operated Monday through Saturday from 9 AM to 4:30 PM, with Sunday hours from noon to 4:30 PM. Visitors could plan their trip around these time slots to explore the collection at leisure.

The collection featured a Tucker 48, a rare 1940s automobile, alongside a Dodge Viper with zero miles on its odometer. A 1976 Lincoln Mark IV once owned by Elvis Presley was among the museum's most notable exhibits.
