• In addition to a wide variety of cars, we also have a significant amount of motorcycles and scooters in the collection. For example, this is our 1963 Fuji Rabbit Superflow S601. #FunFact This stylish, two-toned Fuji Rabbit Superflow S601 was one of the best scooters ever built in Japan. Keeping with the Jet Age style, the Superflow came with plenty of chrome, such as the full body trim and parcel hooks running alongside the seat. Its streamlined body panels also featured grills and air ducts, giving it a look that was fast and purposeful, like a jet. For luxury, the Superflow had features the competition couldn't match: front and rear turn signals, a fully instrumented dashboard including a gas guage with warning light, air suspension, and electric start. The Superflow also came with a foot-controlled headlight dimmer, a parking brake, and most notably, the Superflow torque converter automatic transmission, an innovative feature for a scooter of the early 1960s. . . . #Nashville #NashvilleTN #NashvilleTourist #uniquecars #carfacts #oldcar #classiccar #carhistory #visitmusiccity #motorcycle #scooter #ridinginstyle

  • We visited Nashville on Dec. 2, 2019 and that day toured your museum. Along with our children from New York and Wyoming we were in town to celebrate my husband's 75th birthday. We were asked not to touch the vehicles but my husband who is legally blind was given gloves and told he can touch. I can not tell you how much that gesture was appreciated. We all enjoyed the museum and your kindness to him made it special. A great memory. Thank you! . It warms our hearts to make everyone feel included at Lane Motor Museum. We do our best to accommodate everyone's needs. . Touch tours are available upon request, either by calling ahead or notifying the front desk. We love hearing experiences like this. If there is another way we can accommodate your specific needs, please let us know! #Nashville #NashvilleTN #NashvilleTourist #visitmusiccity

  • We have a small collection of rally cars, including this 1985 MG Metro 6R4. #FunFact this is a Group B rally car, designed and built under contract by Williams Grand Prix (F1) Engineering. The 6R4 is designed with a normally aspirated V6 engine, rather than turbocharged. It's basically a Rover V8 engine with 2 cylinders removed. The fuel injected engine, as well as the radiators, are mounted in the rear, where the back seats would be in a normal MG Metro. Just as developments were beginning to make the car successful, Group B rally cars were banned in 1986, due to safety concerns. . . . #Nashville #NashvilleTN #NashvilleTourist #uniquecars #carfacts #oldcar #classiccar #carhistory #visitmusiccity

  • Is this the @teslamotors Cybertruck prototype? Not quite... This is our 1977 Urba Car. #FunFact The Urba Car first showed up in a 1973 edition of Mechanix Illustrated magazine. These cars could be ordered as a kit, and built in a home garage for a cost of around $1400. The Urba Car was the response to the Arab oil crisis of the early 1970s, and it was hoped the car could reduce America's dependence on OPEC-supplied oil. However, after only a year, the oil crisis abated, and interest in production waned. Think you've seen an Urba Car before? The Arnold Schwarzenegger movie Total Recall featured several of them! . . . #Nashville #NashvilleTN #NashvilleTourist #uniquecars #carfacts #oldcar #classiccar #carhistory #visitmusiccity #tesla #teslacybertruck #arnoldschwarzenegger #totalrecall

  • This is our 1974 Saab 97 a.k.a. Sonnett III. #FunFact Introduced in 1966 with a comparatively different-loojing fiberglass body, the Saab 97, or Sonett III, seen here was redesigned for the 1972 year model. The two cars were essentially identical from the base of the windshield to behind the doors, but after studying American sports car preferences, a fresh design was commissioned. Sonett is derived from the Swedish phrase Så nätt den är, meaning It's so neat! . . . #Nashville #NashvilleTN #NashvilleTourist #uniquecars #carfacts #oldcar #classiccar #carhistory #visitmusiccity

  • Biscuit-er or Bi-scooter? . The correct pronunciation is Bi-scooter! #FunFact our 1956 Autonacional Biscuter was designed by French engineer Gabriel Voisin (Wah-san). Bi-scooter, the French name, was in itself a playful name for a car the size of two scooters. Despite debuting in France, it became more popular in Spain after the hardships of WWII and the Spanish Civil War created a market for affordable vehicles. Known in Spain as the Zapatilla, which means little shoe, it became a beloved mode of transportation. . You can see this, along with the rest of our collection, on the weekends with a Vault Tour - only an extra $6! . . . #Nashville #NashvilleTN #NashvilleTourist #uniquecars #carfacts #oldcar #classiccar #carhistory #visitmusiccity

  • Welcome to the future! This is our 2014 Volkswagen XL1. #FunFact, unlike traditional hybrids, this 2-seat, experimental production VW is a diesel hybrid. Reported to achieve 280mgp, due to a combination of lightweight materials, an aerodynamic body, and an engine and transmission designed and tuned for economy. Only 200 of these cars reached the public, and were only in sold in Germany. This is part of our Fuel Mileage Champs exhibit! . . . #Nashville #NashvilleTN #NashvilleTourist #uniquecars #carfacts #oldcar #classiccar #carhistory #visitmusiccity #fuelmileagechamps #deiswl #hybrid #VW #volkswagen
