点评:As part of a adult father and son road trip, we visited the Auto World Museum in Fulton, MO and were blown away by the quality, quantity, and presentation of classic cars in the museum. The museum opened in it’s original location 1996 by William Backer, a collector and aficionado of classic vehicles and moved to its current location in 2006. What makes the museum special is not only the mint condition of the vehicles, the historical setting in which each is displayed to momentarily transport the visitor back to the time the vehicles was at its heyday. Whether a 1896 Ford Qudracycle, Ford Model T,‘57 Chevy Belaire Convertible, 1997 Mizzou Sun Tiger II, or anything in between, we satisfied our car appetites.
Tom Jones, Manager and Curator of the museum has a true passion for the cars and the facility. As the Artistic Director of TKJ Designs in Fulton, Missouri, Tom designed the Hollywood-like sets that bring the cars to life. He works in partnership with the current owner of the museum, William Backer’s daughter, Vicki McDaniel, who’s passion for her father’s legacy is continued in her desire to present antique and modern cars where everyone can see and appreciate them.
We almost didn’t go to the museum because of a potential scheduling issue, but we are eternally grateful that after a scheduling change, we had time to visit. Tom does a wonderful job welcoming visitors to the museum, providing a high-level oral history, and offering the best ways to enjoy and get the most out of your visit. his affable charm and friendliness made him as essential a part of the visit as the cars themselves.
I encourage everyone in the Fulton area to make the Auto World Museum a part of you next visit when visiting the area.

博物馆经理兼馆长汤姆·琼斯对汽车和设施有着真正的热情。作为密苏里州富尔顿 TKJ Designs 的艺术总监,汤姆设计了好莱坞风格的布景,让汽车栩栩如生。他与博物馆现任主人威廉·贝克的女儿维姬·麦克丹尼尔合作,维姬对父亲遗产的热爱延续至今,她希望将古董和现代汽车展示给每个人都能看到和欣赏。
由于潜在的日程安排问题,我们差点没去博物馆,但我们永远感激在日程安排改变后,我们有时间参观。汤姆在欢迎参观者参观博物馆方面做得非常出色,提供了高水平的口述历史,并提供了享受和充分利用参观的最佳方式。他和蔼可亲的魅力和友好使他成为参观中和汽车本身一样不可或缺的一部分。
我鼓励富尔顿地区的每个人在下次参观该地区时将汽车世界博物馆作为您参观的一部分。
