Museum Guide News
The Vintage Automobile Museum of New Jersey was incorporated in 2000. At first, it consisted of a group of passionate collectors who liked to talk cars. Although they didn't yet have a building, they knew they wanted to share their love of automotive history with the community and to recognize automobiles' monumental impact on the world.
Today, The Vintage Automobile Museum of New Jersey's primary goal is to provide an educational and entertaining family attraction that preserves, shares, and takes pride in the automotive heritage that truly shaped the growth of our state, our country, and indeed the entire world. We are proud to serve New Jersey as the state's only public car museum. Admission is always free because we believe that everyone should be able to share in the joy of cars.
In 2013, thanks to the community's support and a lot of hard work, we were able to secure a building in Point Pleasant, NJ, where we could finally provide a permanent location that anyone could visit.
The Museum is staffed by volunteers from all throughout Ocean and Monmouth Counties, NJ. We love cars as much as you do, and we are thrilled to be able to enjoy them together with you! For more info about volunteer opportunities with the museum, please see the membership page.
The museum has housed countless vehicles over the years, ranging from the groundbreaking Model Ts of the early 20th century to the muscle cars of the '60s and '70s. Vehicle owners include the museum organization, the museum's trustees, donors, and local car clubs. To view all of our cars in the museum check out our gallery: https://vamnj.org/gallery/
Different vehicles are brought in every 2-3 months, allowing you to learn about all eras of automotive history. Sometimes, there will be special exhibitions that disrupt the regularly scheduled rotation of vehicles. For example, we might randomly host an all-British car display for a month. Visit often to see all the amazing vehicles the museum has to offer!
We are located a short drive from the Garden State Parkway, near Route 35. Our museum is wheelchair-accessible, and we are committed to ensuring all visitors have a comfortable experience. Please let us know if you have any special needs or require additional accommodations.
Museum hosts are experienced volunteers, so feel free to ask questions while you're here! We recommend calling ahead, as the museum may be closed during inclement weather or when a host is unavailable. We look forward to seeing you! 732-899-0012. https://vamnj.org/visit/
