California Auto Museum: On May 1, 1987 the Towe Ford Museum opened to the public, displaying the personal collection of Edward Towe, which included one of almost every car Ford ever made, from the pre-Model T to the Pinto. In the mid 1990’s, the IRS slapped a lien on the cars and an auction in 1997 broke up the Towe Ford Collection. The renamed Towe Auto Museum began displaying vehicles of all makes and models, creating a much broader story of the automobile through history. In 2009, the Board of Directors officially changed their name to the California Automobile Museum. Contact information: 2200 Front St. Sacramento, CA 95816. Phone: (916) 442-6802.
