LOWER SALON – 1st FLOOR

The Lower Salon is where guests assemble to start the guided tour. This floor is a microcosm of the entire collection. It showcases about 25 automobiles dating from the early 1900s through the late 1940s. Also exhibited are nickelodeons, music boxes, David Winter cottages, antique dolls, and crystal figurines.

GRAND SALON – 2nd FLOOR

Marble columns, crystal chandeliers, and painted ceilings make up our beautiful Grand Salon showroom of the 1910s, 20s and 30s. On display are some of the finest automobiles of that era, including cars from Duesenberg, Bugatti, and Hispano-Suiza. Here, guests will see the essence of the Nethercutts’ legacy as collectors of functional fine art.

MEZZANINE – 3rd FLOOR

Our Mezzanine features a large assortment of radiator hood ornaments and mascots, including rare Lalique crystal mascots, as well as our many awards and trophies.

MUSIC ROOM – 4th FLOOR

The last floor on the tour displays a world-class collection of automated mechanical musical instruments including Reproducing Pianos, Nickelodeons, Cylinder & Disc Music Boxes, Orchestrions, and the Mighty Wurlitzer Theatre Pipe Organ. During the tour, some of these instruments are demonstrated, including a mini-concert on the Wurlitzer Pipe Organ. Also on display is our beautiful Louis XV-style dining room.

 

 

Impressions from our valued guests

 

 

“Unlike most museums that are static, The Nethercutt Collection is truly kinetic, as all of the vehicles run, are driven regularly, and can be seen on the street as well as in the museum.”
– Jay Leno, TV Host and Car Enthusiast

“This is the crown jewel of American Automobile Museums.”
– Phil Hill, America’s first Formula One Grand Prix Racing Champion and classic car collector

“J.B. Nethercutt has done more than any other collector to preserve the world’s greatest cars, establishing standards of restoration to originality that others have aspired to equal for decades.”
– Jules M. Heumann, Chairman, Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance

“The Nethercutt Collection is an automobile museum founded in 1971. It has over 200 prestigious, antique, and exotic vehicles, including Austin-Healey, Bentley, Bugatti, Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, and others.”
