R.E. Olds Transportation Museum

Loved it. My dad and I went and it brought back so many memories! Very nice staff and many nice cars

I m back. More cars, more fun… love this place. Where cars began.
I was there quickly this time, I had to see the leather license plate from a 1899 Olds.
American Pickers, Mike and Frank, picked it up in Detroit in 2012 and traced it back to an Oldsmobile. Awesome, it is right on display there and I couldn’t wait to see it.
The same and some different cars are there and it is always a joy to return here.
My only problem, hey, sell better postcards would ya?! Post cards are awesome, and I still send them. So pick up a better selection. OK?

I always forget about the smaller museums. Driving through Lansing to drop someone off, I remembered hearing about the Olds museum. Little did I know it was exactly one block away from the convention center. So, on a quiet Sunday afternoon, I paid my $ 6 and went in.
I was very impressed at the layout and the amount of history here. I didn’t realize how diverse R.E. Olds was in his endeavors. And I was very excited to see so many old cars there, from the teens through 2000s. And in keeping with a «transportation museum» theme, there were other cars in there as well, including a Cadillac CTS and the Saturn EV1, which I really didn’t expect to see. And lawnmowers and an REO Speed-​Wagon, which.
After about 2−½ hours of wandering around, I could only say there were only a few cars I was hoping to see: I was looking forward to seeing an Aurora and a first generation Toronado, both of which I believe are among the best cars they ever did. I am looking forward to going back someday — I have to believe they rotate the cars often enough, especially the newer 60s and 70s cars.
Definitely go.
