Lane Motor Museum is an automobile museum in Nashville, Tennessee holding a collection of over 500 mostly European automobiles, with 150 vehicles displayed on any given day.
Museum
The museum was established as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization in October 2002 by Jeff Lane, beginning with his personal collection of 70–80 vehicles in Nashville's former American Bread Company bakery (1951-1994). The collection also includes automobile art and memorabilia. The museum features European, American, and Asian cars of unusual design, propeller-driven vehicles, microcars, three-wheeled cars, amphibious vehicles, alternative fuel vehicles, military vehicles, competition cars, one-off vehicles, prototypes — and 23 Tatras.Cars At Large
In 2010 the museum began to host an annual fundraiser where donors were able to drive a museum car on a nearby rural route, which continued at least through present day.Road and Track magazine, February 2014 issue, page 22Unusual cars meet rural Tennessee Road and Track website
When not on display, the rest of the collection is stored in the basement of the building. Tours of the basement storage area (otherwise known as the "Vault") are offered on weekends.
The museum expanded its exhibition space into the renovated garage space in June 2026.
