Antique Car Museum of Iowa

The Antique Car Museum of Iowa features a collection of more than eighty automobiles dating from 1899 to 1965. The collection also includes an original Skelly gas station and antique Iowa license plates. The museum is located inside the Xtream Arena, which was built in 2020 and also houses the Johnson County Historical Society.

Most of the cars in the collection are in their original condition. Some of the notable cars include the 1916 Hayes Cloverleaf Coupe, a 1910 Demot, a 1908 Cadillac, a 1920 Velie Touring Car, a 1912 Sears Motorbuggy, a 1924 Hupmobile, a 199 LaSalle, and an A.O. Smith Flyer, and a 1915 Milburn. The museum considers the 1916 Hayes Cloverleaf Coup as perhaps the most unsual car in the collection. It features a big engine covered by a large hood, and, unlike most roadster coupes that have two passenger seats, it is a four-passenger car with a back seat. The overall design is sleek as the body sheet metal contours into the interior leather. The 1910 Demot roadster is another highlight of the collection. It was built by the Detroit Motor Company and is one of only three left in the world.
