If I were ever to write a story about the 10 most unusual vehicles I’ve come across in motor museums, at least half of those oddities are likely to be found at the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville, Tennessee.
In a town that’s famous for its country-music singers and guitar slingers, the Lane is a world-class attraction in its own right.
With its ‘Unique Cars from A to Z’ mantra, there is a vehicle to represent almost every letter of the alphabet.
To give an idea of the breadth of the collection, the letter ‘S’ alone includes the following marques: Saab, Sabra, Schmitty, SEAB, Simca, Škoda, Smart, Steyr, Subaru and Suzuki.
The museum claims to offer the largest selection of European cars on American soil, but there is so much more.
National flags hanging from the rafters of the former Sunbeam commercial bread bakery designate areas for cars from the UK, Sweden, Japan, the USA, the former Czechoslovakia and more.
The main floor displays approximately 150 cars and motorcycles, chosen from a collection of more than 500 vehicles.
