About Nethercutt Collection

The Nethercutt Collection is a two-building museum complex in Sylmar, California, with a large car collection that its founder J.B. Nethercutt began in 1971. The self-guided Museum building displays many restored automobiles from the early twentieth century, mostly from before the 1940s, along with a few later cars. The Collection building is open only on guided tours that require advance reservations, and it holds more automobiles along with mechanical musical instruments and antique furniture. A restored steam locomotive and a private railcar sit outside behind the Museum and can be viewed at set times on days the weather allows. Parking is free and the site is wheelchair accessible apart from the train.
