LeMay - America’s Car Museum

Our Vision

The new home for America's CarMuseum will be an inspirational icon for the the City of Tacoma, WA.A gleaming beacon above this growing city, it will be a technologically-advanced, interactive automotive museum and educational center that will showcase the cultural impact of cars, motorcycle and trucks on our uniquely American way of life. The Museum is based on the LeMay Collection, currently consisting of over 2000 cars. The new Museum will ultimately house over 1000 diverse vehicles, spanning not only a century of automotive history, but the future of our transportation system as well. This much anticipated $100 million project will be built in two stages. Upon completion of stage one, it will be the largest auto museum in the world!

ACM is being built in the heart of the technology-rich Pacific Northwest. Located just thirty miles south of Seattle, the Museum will be situated on nine prime, highly-visible acres adjacent to Interstate 5. Stage one groundbreaking is planned for summer 2008 with completion of construction and opening slated for spring 2010. The new Museum is being built on the premise that there is an important and unique story to tell and it involves not only the past, but the present and future as well. As a result, we are creating a place that will attract young and old alike, insire and delight everyone who enters...and help shape the drivers of the future.
