Floyd Garrett's Muscle Car Museum, Sevierville, TN - Museum

If you remember the great muscle cars of the 60's and 70's, then you will especially love visiting Floyd Garrett's Muscle Car Museum in Sevierville, TN. There are plenty of muscle cars to see that are in excellent condition and are sure to bring back the memories of days gone by.

Floyd is considered to be a nationally known authority on muscle cars. The current collection started out as a hobby with him when he wanted to buy and repair some of the cars he remembered. Today, it is a museum with many different muscle cars of all makes and models from that great era.

There are now 90 different models in the museum. Although Floyd likes Chevy's the best, he has tried to round out the museum with a wide variety of cars. In the museum, you will see great cars like the '70 Chevelle LS6, the '67 Firebird, the Superbee, the '71 Camaro, the '70 GTO Judge, and many more. There are even some cars from earlier days - in the 40's and 50's, too - just because he loves cars of all kinds. Altogether, the cars are worth more than $7 million!

Floyd Garrett has put together a fine collection of the great muscle cars. There are also some unique ones, too, like Elvis' first limo. Other cars may be on display for a short time as Floyd brings in other ones for display from time to time to always have new things to see.

The museum is one of the largest collections of muscle cars in the country. When you want to visit, you can take time to see the Great Smoky Mountains and take in some of the many sights and activities of the region.

In addition to all of the cars, there are also more than 5,000 other items on display - other treasures worth seeing. There is also a great gift shop that is more than 6,000 square feet. There you will be able to look through more than 18,000 different collectibles. This includes items like T-shirts, die casts, posters, NASCAR, unique items and much more.

While you are visiting the Smoky Mountain area, you will also want to be sure and see many of the other sights that are nearby. It would be a great way to let the whole family enjoy the scenery and fun going on around there.

Probably two of the best places to go as a family are to Dollywood and to Dollywood's Splash Country Water Adventure Park. Other great places would have to include the Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies and the new Ripley's Marvelous Mirror Maze & Candy Factory.
