Could Your Car Be a Museum Piece? Tacoma Wants to See It
Tacoma – October 30, 2026 -- Car owners in Tacoma and the greater Pacific Northwest can now submit their vehicles for a museum exhibition, with entries open through December 14, 2026. LeMay – America's Car Museum (ACM) is building Local Flavor, a community-driven show opening Saturday, January 23, 2027.
The Museum wants meaningful stories, not just rare cars
ACM is inviting residents, businesses, car clubs, collectors and enthusiasts across Tacoma, the South Sound and the Pacific Northwest to take part. Eligible entries range from family heirlooms passed down through generations and beloved neighborhood vehicles to local racing history, custom creations and motorcycles.
Curator Bruce Patton said, "The goal isn't necessarily to find the most expensive or rarest vehicles." The aim, he said, is to find the stories that make vehicles meaningful.
