AN INSTANT CRASH COURSE IN THE HISTORY OF TRANSPORTATION AND OF COURSE CARS FROM THE EARLIEST TO THE HOTTEST AND RAREST AND MOST EXOTIC!
The Louwman Museum houses the world's oldest, maybe biggest and certainly most interesting private collection of cars.
The collection started, like most, with 1 car purchased in 1934 which is still on display as the mother of all these 230 historic set of wheels!
The 1934 car is a Dodge which was made in 1914 and the Louwman Museum's mobile treasures were accumulated by 2 generations of Louwmans with the founding father Pieter Louwman the father of the present owner. Pieter Louwman had a headstart as he was a Dodge importer so he was already knee deep in the trade and had plenty of contacts.
Some cars are in perfect running condition while others are unrestored engine-wise but their exteriors are beautifully done up to look as good as when they first rolled off the maker's workshop or factory.
Tickets are RM 58 for adult and RM 48 for kids under 12 and worth every sen! Allocate 4 to 5 hours so you can really enjoy yourself and then at the end, collapse into a comfy chair at their restaurant!
This museum is so fascinating and riveting and engrossing I will refund your ticket if you can swear on the Bible and Kama Sutra you had a lousy 5 hours!
This antique Mercedes-Benz is actually in the carpark so I don't know if this is meant as an exhibit or if it belongs to a visitor

This is my favourite modern set of wheels!
This was made in 2008 so is brand new and is my all time favorite and wait till u see what it carries inside its boot!
This is the sexiest modern car ever! I must get it, or rather, them!
Maybe you can just see what's lurking in the boot...
This Lincoln comes with its own, matching motorbike! A bike that you bring along!
Not just a matching motorbike by Harley-Davidson but one you can stuff inside the boot and bring along!
Drive and park your matching motorbike INSIDE your boot and bring it along!
