About National Automobile Museum

The National Automobile Museum in downtown Reno grew out of William F. Harrah's collection of historic automobiles and opened in 1989. More than 200 cars fill four galleries that run from the 1890s onward, linked by themed streets with facades such as a hardware store and a movie theatre. Look for Elvis Presley's 1973 Cadillac Eldorado, John Wayne's 1953 Corvette, a gold-plated DeLorean and the surviving prototype of Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion car.
