North America's LARGEST Auto Museum!! - The Gilmore Car Museum

[@richarda.brosnan9224]

Seeing this display brings back memories of touring the Gilmore Museum with my wife and son. We lost our son to cancer but watching this video has brought back memories of wonderful family trips. Thanks to Matt and Mike!

[@markseaman4750]

Ah yes! The Gilmore Museum. What a jewel. On Wednesday evenings in the summer the museum opens the grounds to a cruise-in for all kinds of cars and motorcycles. People come from near and far to attend. A fabulous experience. Well done on the video Matt and Iron Trap Garage.

[@viewer925]

Wow! What amazing cars!

[@automotivemuseumguide]

Gilmore is an amazing museum

[@tedhewitt4299]

The Gilmore has tons of fantastic cars. Love to see them every time we go there.

[@mikeslattery8715]

Outstanding, tremendous museum I, have ever, seen on social media! A very unexpected treat, thank you Gilmore museum and Iron Trap Garage!

[@BillCurry-o6h]

Great video being a 72-1/2 year old lol car guy I just loved it. It’s amazing how many cars I actually new the model and year. Thanks So Much

[@aaronmalkiewicz884]

You NAILED this video.!!!!! I just took pops there last year. Simply unbelievable. A Bucket list place.🛣😎👍

[@kevinbarrett9615]

Great video, love this museum. I love the Ron Howard Impala aka Steve Bolander coupe. As Toad says “ this is better than the Superflex Moon Beam” ! ( a Darryl Starbird custom). I also concur that in the pantheon of muscle cars for me the 67 Shelby Mustang G.T. 500 reigns supreme. It doesn’t hurt that it was Jim Morrison’s first car he bought after the Doors hit it big. Of course I love all the muscle cars but that’s my fave.

[@northcackalacky4694]

Perfect on the video Mike!!! Caught every paint and chrome sparkle in the building. Amazing 👏 Loved the Packard, Cadillac and 1910's rooms! Cadillac was the real deal until 1971!!! Excellent video gentlemen

[@Tom-zo2rc]

Thanks so much. Hope to visit soon

[@jeffkalte9371]

Thank you Matt for supporting this Museum, especially in these times. BTW - you clean up well!

[@levitheonlylevi2047]

Very cool and thank you for sharing HOWEVER this clickbait title is nowhere near the world's largest collection. Lemay in Tacoma was and is to this day FAR larger than this. But again all collections are appreciated. Thank you for taking the time and producing a fine film.

[@black88coupe]

Hands down the best auto museum I have ever been to. LOVE The Gilmore!!!

[@gregoryware7636]

HI Matt, I was there a number of years ago with my uncle who has two Packard's and a Cord. It wasn't as big and someday we'll half to go again. This IS DEFINITELY THE BEE'S KNEE'S!! These are some Beautiful cars! Thanks for presenting this video. Awesome!! Greg

[@stevenpdxedu]

The colors and paint quality really pop out at you, and of course the tons of chrome. Thanks for the taste of what the museum has to offer, I'm definitely planning to see it.

[@DayDreamUSA]

[@jadedequeljoe3283]

I would love to be able to visit this museum, but as a 72 year old living in the Netherlands it’s not going to happen. Thanks you guys for this video tour, I wish it was longer with more cars and stories about each one. In my 72 years I have watched as cars devolved from works of art and mechanical masterpieces to the boring contemporary vehicles that are hi tech look a likes. Very functional but about as inspiring as a bowl of cold leftover pasta with tripe. The magnificent cars of the 20’s and 30’s, wow! Duesenbergs, Packards, Cadillacs, Auburns, Marmons, and many other makes no longer with us today. The cars of the 50’s, each one very distinctive, unlike todays cars that look pretty much the same. Those 40’s and 50’s cars were what people were driving when I was a kid. Even plenty of 20’s and 30’s cars still on the road. In around 1960, 61, I was roaming around in a junkyard with a friend ( yes, you could do that in those days). We came upon an old Marmon. No idea of the year, late 20’s or perhaps early 30’s. I don’t know if it ran, but it was in decent shape. If we only knew what the future held. Probably could have hauled it away for $500, I don’t know. Maybe more, but still, if my dad had just bought it and put it in storage, maybe slowly restoring it, kept it in the family, it would be worth a fortune today. I’ll never forget the little curtains it had in the rear windows.

[@glennnickerson8438]

Good job Matt! It amazes me that within a couple of decades the automobile went from a "horseless carriage" to rolling pieces of art. Unfortunately the design and craftsmanship will never be replicated but thankfully they have been preserved. I'll have to add the Gilmore to my bucket list!

[@geofo60]

Wow, that’s Petrolhead Paradise !!! You guys are so lucky to have a motoring heritage museum like that, I could spend a week there and never tire at looking at it. The Graffiti display was really neat, did you know that Jeff Beck has the original license plate on his ‘32 five window coupe ? He’s been a hotrodder along with Eric Clapton for decades. The track nose T & the Chicken Coupe were great examples of Hotrods from the past. Thanks for the walk around Matt, I thoroughly enjoyed it 👍👍👍👍. Regards from the U.K.

[@garyhughes9199]

Thanks Matt, I will watch this video 100 times. I will make the trip to see the Gilmore Museum.

[@leeroyholloway4277]

This is a tremendously well-done presentation, gentlemen. Thank you !!

[@tractordave9300]

Actually was a awesome video/ camera work was outstanding. Thanks guys!

[@email4664]

@@tractordave9300 editor did it no favors

[@dalenielsen7054]

This place is jaw dropping, the travel trailers weren’t there when I was there. The cars are amazing but the barns are over the top. I’ve seen pianos that weren’t as nice as theses barns! Thanks for sharing.

[@robertbrady9597]

AMAZING OLDS CARS IN THE MUSEUM MATT AN MIKE GREAT WORK ON MAKING THE VIDEO TODAY STAY SAFE DOWN BY YOU GUYS

[@gmoneyonroof]

It's amazing living close enough to where I could go every day if I wanted to do so

[@2rueblue]

Beautiful collection, really interesting for me, this is something I just would never have seen, a lot of the cars you guys might think of as commonplace we have never seen in the uk, lots of makes just never made it over the pond so this is a real treat thank you I love the Duesenbergs, the model t roadster is beautiful, this place is the equivalent of walking into the louvre in France, every one of those cars is a work of art, people forget building cars is a artwork you are creating works of art, you use a hammer and dolly to create, this is way harder than picking up a paint brush, we are now seeing cars being given their rightful place in museums like this and the designers getting the credit they are due. The Lincoln convertible, that blue is gorgeous. You guys are so lucky that you can do what you do with cars and then drive them, we just can't do the same here, insurance and government just spoil everything I am so jealous. Thank you for the tour I loved it

[@robertszymanski7804]

Great comment!! I am grieved what I read going on in Europe regarding gasoline powered automobiles, vintage and more recent models. I hope the decisions being enacted become more balanced with common sense. All the best!!

[@2rueblue]

@@robertszymanski7804 i believe customising and renovation and rebuilding with modern components is the ultimate in recycling and is better for the environment than all the pollution involved in manufacturing a new model, we already have guys dropping electric motors into older cars, that is what we should be doing all the big car makers should be offering a swap out and conversion to electric on existing models that are mechanically sound. I dont know if you guys have any laws protecting vintage and classic vehicles if not someone need to get on it quick, you guys made some ground breaking technologies as well as beautiful designs, I would be making sure that car design and also modification should be classed ss an artwork and should be protected from idiotic government legislation. Dont be complacent get hot rodding protected and recognised world wide. The fastest people on 4 wheels are not the big car manufacturers Bonneville is full of guys and girls who made these vehicles in their garage, I would hate this to dissappear, its massive in amaricas culture. Its all this I am jealous of, I would love to move over to America to learn how you guys do it so well. This channel reminds me of the martin brothers garage, the talent is here, only difference is that we get to see more and we get anything we dint understand or we miss explained to us. This is my favorite channel because of this education. Love it

[@brianmartin5601]

Just can't wait to visit

[@artszabo1015]

Wow, Matt, I am seriously blown away. Of course the museum is awesome and Mr. Pete just did a 2 part video on his channel that was excellent. The only way you could have improved this is to have had your beautiful wife with you. This is on a par with any documentary I have ever seen on TV. The photography, the music, the narration, the presentation was artistically and professionally spot on. 5 huge stars my friend for you and all that helped you. Please do this again and bring your wife with you. Art

[@bigbird2100]

A truly great video 👍 Sharing a place which I would never have known about.

[@andyd2806]

Thanks Matt, I was shouting at you to linger longer on so many cars, decided that when I come over to the states for a holiday/car fest. this will be a stopping place for at least a full day.

[@pappabob29]

Impossible to pick a favorite from that bunch!! So many beautiful machines and so much American Icon History !!! You guys should be congratulated for your presentation of this great collection !!!! No "Roadster Show" this year. This kind of helps to fill that void!! Thank you!! 👍👍👍

[@waynehigden]

You two, Matt and Mike, have done a great job putting the video together. Thanks.

[@halffasthenry]

Thanks Matt. Gilmore is always a treat, also features great outdoor events on the beautiful grounds in the summer. Always something new to see.

[@spenserthomas3635]

Thanks for all the great content it's awesome to be able to see all the cool stuff you do.

[@chuckster6513]

Hey Matt & Mike Thank you for the tour. Really great to see automotive history like that all in one place. Be Safe and Well

[@REMBRANTTUBE]

Wow Matt!! Totally Awesome!! I Enjoyed This So Much!!!! Spectacular!!!!!! 🚙 🚘 🚗

[@eppyschopshop]

You need to check out Kevin masters hot rod school and museum next time you head this way! A shop full of 30s willys, wagons, gasser style hot rods. Fiberglass go kart molds! It's too cool!

[@overdrive39]

This place is off the hook, been there twice, and love how they present the cars to the public. Very nice displays putting almost all the cars in period correct displays.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Great video ! Thanks for taking us along. I’m going to have to plan a trip out there. It look like an incredible place !

It’s definitely a first class museum. Great video tour and it reminds me I need to get back over there this year again. It’s been a few years since my last visit and it looks like there have been many additions and improvements.

Just , WOW , thank you for sharing this with me ! Now I know where I have to go and see for myself ! You guys did an awesome job with this video ! Take care , stay safe and healthy with whatever you guys maybe doing next ! Doing well here in Kansas .

[@timothyflanagan3641]

Absolutely jaw dropping

[@_Peremalfait]

Really nice video. I'm sure there was much more than could be shown, but I think you did a great job in condensing your visit down to 25 minutes. My compliments for the editing and use of music. My favorite was the Packard racer. How exciting must it have been to see that era of racing, when pro motor sports were just beginning.

[@jackphilly338]

Hey Guys awesome video. What a collection of cars its hard to pick a favorite.👍

[@brigittehazelmyer605]

Actually the worlds largest car collection and museum is the LeMay collection here in Tacoma Washington.In fact, The collection has been certified my the Guinness Book of World records As that largest... and yes they actually counted each car.....last count? the collection numbered in the thousands, including Tucker car #7

[@wa1ufo]

Mind blowing! I'll take the orange Dodge Charger!

[@robertjean659]

Great video Matt, Many beautiful cars to see. Thanks

[@thomasst.martin3308]

Matt, the Gilmore is my favorite place on the face of the Earth. Mike did an awesome job on this video. This place exists because Don Gilmore's grandchildren, the Parfets, kept this place going and expanding. Next time you are in the area, see if you can get into the Off Brother's collection. It is in the same neighborhood.

[@freddiebates5539]

Thanks for the trip back in time, I would love to go there for a visit.

[@qwiked]

Excellent!! Thanks for the tour and excellent commentary.

[@neildickson5394]

What a Premier Auto Museum. Top Drawer as they used to say. Oh, those Packard's. Reminds me of the Duesenberg room at the old Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.

[@FloridaClay]

WOW Gotta go see this.

It’s an amazing place, I live only 20 minutes from there! I guess you just take it for granted when something is that close👍🏻

A beautiful museum and I hope that one day I will make a film about this museum.

[@eppyschopshop]

Was just there a couple months ago. Beautiful place! Made a little video myself but had a broken camera lol

[@richardcox84]

Nice cool,background music - which makes a change from the the usual high speed lunacy that is associated with car or motorsport vids. And the highly professional filming makes a refreshing change from the jerky stuff recorded on somebody's I-Phone. PS the cars are FANTASTIC - wished I lived on this side of the pond.

[@Horacio-Lorenzo]

Hello Matt, excellent collection of cars in that museum, really beautiful te mando un fuerte abrazo y bendiciones para vos y tu familia desde Buenos Aires Argentina cuidense mucho 🍻🍻

[@deanrivera8016]

Awesome collection of American history, love the Cadillac section

[@463high]

Got to see the Turbine cars running at the New York Worlds Fair in 1964 while on our senior class trip.

[@Pedroisanickname]

I wish you got a better look at the Caddie flathead V8s. Gorgeous motors. The Gilmore is awesome.

[@johna1160]

Glimpse into Matt's future? Great job presenting the cars. Maybe in thirty years when Matt's had enough of scraped knuckles and greasy fingernails, he's got the chops to host his own museum. Good camera work, Mike. Just wish you let us peek into some interiors (dashes, steering wheels, etc.) a bit more.

[@dennisschickling5759]

Great Video. Now I know of Three Turbo Jet Cars. I went to California in 1995. We went to the Petersen Museum. They have the one that Lucille Ball's Car. Jay Leno has One, and now Gilmore. Thanks. #STAYSAFE

[@JeffDeWitt]

Great museum, and they will even teach you how to drive a Model T!

Matt great video, looks like I’ll have to put this on my list next time I’m in Mi. Thanks for sharing. Kevin

[@mattfarahsmillionmilelexus]

The Chrysler Turbine is one of my favorite cars of all time.

[@JAWSatBCPerformance]

Cool. Reminds me of Harrah's in Reno. I wonder how many came from Harrah's when the new owners took over. They sold 80% of what was there....Great video. Look forward to the next installment.

[@silverpairaducks]

This is a beautiful museum. I still talk about the Lincoln zephyr.

[@burnout9674]

Great video! Love the Gilmore, My triple black 1971 Lincoln Mark III is on loan there.

[@brucegordon4992]

Great video - thanks. There was a Packard museum in Fort Lauderdale owned by a man named Arthur Stone who was a florist by trade. Sadly he passed away and his wife kept the museum going - the last time I was there I met her and she was sharp however appeared frail. A couple years back the museum closed. I wonder if the Gilmore got some of those Packards. Among the cars Mr. Stone had a 1929 Dual Cowl Phaeton that was red and a Packard converted to a tow truck.

[@BrunoWiebelt]

that silver Packard ... killer ride
