The National Automobile Museum in Reno, Nevada — also known as The Harrah Collection — holds one of the most significant automotive collections ever assembled. William F. Harrah spent decades acquiring historically important vehicles, building a collection that at its peak exceeded 1,400 cars. The museum today preserves over 200 of the finest examples, displayed in four street scenes recreating different eras of American motoring history. The collection includes presidential vehicles, racing legends, and one-of-a-kind concept cars. It was one of the first institutions to treat the automobile as a cultural artifact deserving museum-quality preservation.
