Didn't even scratch the surface of what they have at LMM. I planned a family vacation around visiting Lane, and the entire family (including my wife) loved it. The staff are genuinely friendly and a joy to shoot the breeze and ask questions. If you like cars as oddities, cars as works of art, cars as engineering curiosities this is the place to go. They also have a collection of unusual motorcycles and pedal bikes on display.
How can one not love Jeff Lane! He seems utterly enlightened, and plentiful with the massive amount of fun he has running this most incredible museum. This planet needs more people like him.
@@thekingsilverado3266 that's literally the opposite of what "real" car guys would do, but maybe someday you could be a real car guy too. We appreciate the engineering, the stories, and the history of vehicles like these.
@@Boe_Jidens_Hair_Sniffing I am not a car guy so you are right I am a truck guy and maybe one day you could afford a real nice truck and appreciate the engineering of not getting stuck in the seat of some tiny death trap with 4 rubber tires. Besides where I come from men are Sasquach size not girly size.
Thanks for preserving the BARC 60 amphibian. Thats" Barge Amphibian Resupply Cargo" and rated at 60 tons payload. I am a Vietnam era Army veteran and I was trained to work on these when I was stationed at Fort Story, Virginia. The sound of the four Detroit Diesel 6 cylinder 2 stroke engines running a full governed speed is something I will never forget! BTW you forgot to mention the crab steering feature of these machines. The steering mast was formed like a motorcycle handle bar and it had a locking pin in the center which allowed each side of the bar to move separately when it was disengaged. Pulling back on each bar together would turn the rear wheels to the right as well as the front wheels causing the BARC to side-step to the right. Pushing the bars forward would have the opposite effect. It was an odd sensation and took some getting used to.
That's awesome. I am a total gearhead and US military machinery buff going on 65 years now and I never even heard of them before. Thanks. I learned something today therefore I'm not dead yet!
@@patrickshaw8595 You are welcome, Pat. It was great seeing that behemoth. It brought back some memories for sure. The drivetrain in that thing was unbelievably complex. Everything ran through shafts.
Thank you Jeff Lane for being such a great steward of the hobby. Without people like you, we wouldn't have nearly the resources available for people to see real-life history - that we can actually experience and witness! *TOM* - Hopefully there's a "Part 2" of this visit to Lane? Heck, make it 3! Great stuff that needs more time and exposure! (Now, get your butt back to Davin's shop and help that poor boy with that old race car you two started on!) - Ed on the Ridge
@@ka3097 The people and the stories behind the cars is what the hobby is all about to me - well, and owning something that takes me back to younger times.
I enjoy listening to someone who is very knowledgeable in his craft..i also enjoy the history that he is able to tell of each car..i think the story is just as important as the car itself..thank you for sharing
Great Speaker !! No drama , no lies , just the facts , not afraid to say “we dont know” . Very concise, with a genius level of understanding what matters . A+++. No fake ego , no idolatry (not worshiping the cars , just displaying them) , just not enuf people like this (especially around big car collections)
What's brilliant about this place is the curator is knowledgable in the pieces, not only in a "this piece is on the floor therefore I must study this piece" but in a genuine "every car has a story and I want to share" way that I'm sure thousands of people have for their own machines handed down through generations
Truly one of the best transportation museums on the planet. I stop by every time I pass through Nashville because there's always something new and interesting. There's a lot here so you don't want to rush it. I would allow at least a full morning or a full afternoon or both. A very memorable experience every time I visit.
@@robertparker3172 LoL This one word comment was going to be mine, but I tacked an extra thought on. Glad I did so I didn't seem to copy another Spock fan? I'm guessing.
I used to live in Nashville, and for sure if I go back I will visit the museum. But I was SO impressed by Jeff Lane's knowledge. He knew every car and the details on each one. One smart dude!
11:22. Left out the weirdest things about the Hoffman. I saw this car in 2008 when it was in Georgia and I'll never forget it. The front wheels don't steer at all as they always point straight ahead. There's no storage under the enormous parcel shelf because the motor is mounted on a swing arm which also carries the rear wheel. When the steering wheel is turned, the entire swing arm including the motor pivots left and right. Bizarre! Great video. Thanks for posting it.
When I was a young boy, my Dad had the DKW. No water pump. It used convection currents to move the water upward to the radiator. No fuel pump. No Distributor. It had 3 sets of points and condensers, right off of the crank. 2 Stroke, so no valves or camshaft. You did have to add oil to the gas yourself. Very reliable.
Great! Many of the cars I saw on the streets when I was a child. In the back ground there was a Trabant - my first car. And the black chech car at the beginning is pronounced: [shkòda]. My grandfather had one of these.
We have a membership there. It's always a great place to visit. Seems like there is something new there every time we go. They also have several activities throughout the year for folks to get more involved with the displays. Jeff is a wonderful person for sharing all these wonderful machines for the public to see.
Hello friends.... I try to dimple repair and some new things for my car and I make video that's and put this videos in RUclips, I try make a RUclips channel...I hope everybody will like that's and I can help to somebody about repair of give ideas !!!!!!
Absolutely spectacular! I love Jeff and his enthusiasm for the odd. He and I did a trade years ago, a double ended Honda Civic for a very odd little electric car. One day I hope to visit and get the tour!
Outstanding Barn Find Hunter! Tom and Jeff Lane are kindred spirits with interests in the usual and often forgotten. I bet these two could talk for hours about peculiarities in a cars. This entire episode made me smile! Thank you - Sno Dawg from Philadelphia
7:56 Hey, that's a Škoda 100, that's marvelous how they managed to put their hands on so many vintage Czech cars. I had one for a short period of time.
The BEST car collection I have seen in my life, worth taking a whole day to explore. The basement tour only happens once or twice on certain days so plan ahead.
I just finished watching the Barn find video and I freaked out when you showed the Skoda in the early '60s a investor brought a boatload of sodas over from Czechoslovakia and they sat on the docks New York for four or five years and nobody would handle or sell the cars because they were made behind the iron curtain. So my dad and my uncles got wind of it and went down and they were auctioning him off for three or $400 a piece Will needless to say they bought of them. Needless to say my brother my sisters some of my cousins all drove skodas. This was a car that was ahead of its time it had front disc brakes IRS rear suspension a four-speed manual on the column and a puppy little four cylinder. When the carburetor wore out I cut off the intake flange from a 6 cylinder Chevy and put a one barrel Rochester on it to help it breathe a little better, I also put a small glass pack cherry bomb muffler on it which I slipped off most of the time and ran around with an open pipe. When the four speed shifter linkage failed I cut off the top cone of a Difco milk truck transmission welded it to a quarter inch steel plate to fit on top of the top loader transmission adjusted the height of the stick in the ball and ground end of the stick down so it could shift beautifully as a floor shifter. I have to tell you I had more front in that car during high school and most guys with their parents big yank tanks, GTOs, chevelles had a hard time keeping up with that little car on the humpback back roads of Connecticut. Oh one of the things the backs of the front seats disconnected and went to total horizontal which was great for the drive-in theater. I hope to see your museum in person someday. Thank you for taking care of such beautiful machines.
I've been to this museum once when I first visited Tennessee, the amount of just strange crazy vehicles they have is awesome. I definitely recommend any car lover to check them out cause you won't be disappointed.
2:51 that must be a Skoda Octavia! My Grandfather had two of them. But not in the same time. I had a Wartburg 353S I loved it. It is a successor of your DKW. A Wartburg 311 would fit perfectly in your collection!
This place is great! I was on a trip in Nashville four or five years ago when one day I happened to pass by a sign for the museum. On a whim, I decided to add it to my list of places to check out later on in the week. I'm glad I went early in the day. The place is huge and has loads to see!
Affordable family friendly museum, with a surprisingly phenomenal bicycle collection, and kids play area! Situated in an old bread factory. Just note middle of the summer is rough as the building does not have air-conditioning! I will be back!
I've seen Lane cars from Doug DeMuro reviews (and thank you to Lane Museum for letting him do that for those of us that might not otherwise know about these treasures). Mr. Lane is everything I had hoped he would be and more. Thank you for being such an avid collector of all things weird and wonderful in the automotive world!
What is truly impressive about this presentation is the production quality. From precise editing to camera angles, blocking and flow it shows true excellence in line with the outstanding subject matter. Pro quality all the way, well done!

A friend had a Skoda convertible. It was actually an older and prettier model that the one shown here. At the beginning I saw one of my absolute fauvorite oddball cars: The Tatras. The models of the late Fifites were exotic but really beautiful. With the three headlights, the special front fenders and an aircooled engine in the back.
I visited this museum in October of '23 and was a great place. The basement tour is on my bucket-list. The One-Off collection he has is absolutely amazing.
Love Lane museum, but this gave me an entirely different appreciation to know Jeff Lane (the owner) has this much knowledge/love of cars, I appreciate this quirkily little place all the more Thank you!
Wow, what an unusual and rare collection. Kudos for taking the time and interest to show us these fine cars! Without this, many of us would never see or even hear of such unique cars and ideas 💡
DAMN I want to visit Lane even more now. And it's so amusing to watch a walk through the basement of a 'weird' car collection from the European's perspective, seeing cars that I regularly see on the streets and listening to someone explaining what Skoda is and that it still exists today :D Awesome.
@@pdcichosz I'd like to think you were right Piotr but they are built on VW designs with VW engines and here in Australia VW engines have a terrible reputation. A member of my family replaced the engine in their VW twice before getting rid of it and buying a Toyota.
@@rais1953 I know. What I meant was that despite being built on shared platforms and engines, they still have their own designs, a factory and the brand associated with their nation. That's not badge engineering, which is 'just the name' slapped on the exact same car.
@@pdcichosz True it's not badge engineering, Škoda vehicles have distinctive styling. I like them actually but knowing Australian experience with VW engines I wouldn't risk buying one.
I am a docent at the Savoy Automobile Museum and Cartersville and we have a treasure trove of cars the Lane Museum has graciously loaned us. The Hoffman is one of them and it is truly and "unique" car (using that term loosely). Thank you Lane Museum.
My friend and I have gone here a couple times, amazing collection. I want to make the 400 mile drive there in our Saab Sonett, seems like an appropriate trip.
Looks like it's awesome place. 0:39 lovely Tatras, pre-war models were infamous for bad handling, during WWII nicknamed 'nazi killers' as they were rear engined, powered with huge V8 and weren't exactly sticking to road that well. Their unconventional looks got many high officers attention, and many of them died in crashes, to the point that there was official order forbidding officers to drive them. Just before war Tatra's main designer Ledwinka was suing Porsche for "borrowing" a lot of his designs, but then WWII happened. Tatra is still there, making heavy trucks and is third oldest car maker with uninterrupted history. 3:00 Skoda Octavia from 1950s is probably as rare now as it was back in the day in Chicago, but I remember them on roads in then Czechoslovakia when I was a kid. 4:55 I might be wrong on that one, but it's Auto Union 1000 - model that superseded DKW 3=6 6:49 Concept of doors and inside looks very similar to BMW Isetta from 1950s, I wonder if there was some "borrowing" going on there 9:41 That's interesting, there was 2CV with 4 wheel drive powered by two engines one in front and on in back, that had almost unaltered 2CV body - called 2CV Sahara. It might seem funny at first but as a car designed for very harsh driving conditions ingeniously allowed to keep driving even when one engine had catastrophic failure.
The Isetta came to my mind too... 0.3l bike engine. Ermenegildo Preti meant he built that inspired by a military glider he helped constructing in ww2. Seeing this makes him look like a copy cat ;)
If it has 4 rings on it, it's an "Auto-Union" (owtoh oonihone) not DKW and it's "owdee" not "awdee". Also it's not "pennheart", those cars had no hardened pans inside them, it's "punnaar". It's a french brand, no d, no h. Great collection.
another great video Inregards to the King Midgets i have often seen them for sale on Ebay over the last 15 to 20 years very reasonably priced in Various Condition but what i like to refer to as very restorable and mostly Complete and /or Original
I wish I had some pictures but I don't. In the mid-1960s a friend of mine took a wrecked 1964 Cadillac Coupe De Boat De Ville with a 454ci V8, and shortened it by close to half. Essentially removed the rear seat and trunk. Cut the drive shaft. And created what he called the 'Cadiddle'. It sat two in the front seat and would do a wheelie with little more than a tap on the accelerator pedal! Truly a one-off!

Please make a longer video from there I saw at least 20 other interesting cars in the background 🙏🏻😁😁
Amazing to see so many Citroen, even a Visa :)
"If you're ever in Nashville, you got to see this." Hell! I'd make a trip to Nashville JUST for this museum. What an awesome collection.
Love Lane museum, but this gave me an entirely different appreciation to know Jeff Lane (the owner) has this much knowledge/love of cars, I appreciate this quirkily little place all the more Thank you!
Lane seems to know everything there is about these rare cars . Thanks Jeff
Ive seen this place on Aging Wheels. He reviewed several of their vehicles. They have super rare and obscure stuff for sure!
The dedication and open-mindedness of Jeff Lane is impressive. Imagine remembering all these facts with spirit!
I didn’t want this ep to end. So much interesting cars
I can't believe they didn't mention the metro MG rally spec 😔 3:45
I LOVE weird cars! You could do a year's worth of videos at that place (and I wish you would).
4:52 A guy in my town here in Sweden has two of these! Beautiful car to see riding around every once in a while.
I sure wish this video was an hour longer.
Wow, what an unusual and rare collection. Kudos for taking the time and interest to show us these fine cars! Without this, many of us would never see or even hear of such unique cars and ideas 💡
DAMN I want to visit Lane even more now. And it's so amusing to watch a walk through the basement of a 'weird' car collection from the European's perspective, seeing cars that I regularly see on the streets and listening to someone explaining what Skoda is and that it still exists today :D Awesome.
Yes except that nothing remains of Škoda except the name. They're just Volkswagens.
@@rais1953 I think the people of Mlada Boleslav would disagree.
@@pdcichosz I'd like to think you were right Piotr but they are built on VW designs with VW engines and here in Australia VW engines have a terrible reputation. A member of my family replaced the engine in their VW twice before getting rid of it and buying a Toyota.
@@rais1953 I know. What I meant was that despite being built on shared platforms and engines, they still have their own designs, a factory and the brand associated with their nation. That's not badge engineering, which is 'just the name' slapped on the exact same car.
@@pdcichosz True it's not badge engineering, Škoda vehicles have distinctive styling. I like them actually but knowing Australian experience with VW engines I wouldn't risk buying one.
I am a docent at the Savoy Automobile Museum and Cartersville and we have a treasure trove of cars the Lane Museum has graciously loaned us. The Hoffman is one of them and it is truly and "unique" car (using that term loosely). Thank you Lane Museum.
My friend and I have gone here a couple times, amazing collection. I want to make the 400 mile drive there in our Saab Sonett, seems like an appropriate trip.
What a cool collection. The guy’s enthusiasm and passion for collecting is awesome.
Looks like it's awesome place.
0:39 lovely Tatras, pre-war models were infamous for bad handling, during WWII nicknamed 'nazi killers' as they were rear engined, powered with huge V8 and weren't exactly sticking to road that well. Their unconventional looks got many high officers attention, and many of them died in crashes, to the point that there was official order forbidding officers to drive them. Just before war Tatra's main designer Ledwinka was suing Porsche for "borrowing" a lot of his designs, but then WWII happened. Tatra is still there, making heavy trucks and is third oldest car maker with uninterrupted history.
3:00 Skoda Octavia from 1950s is probably as rare now as it was back in the day in Chicago, but I remember them on roads in then Czechoslovakia when I was a kid.
4:55 I might be wrong on that one, but it's Auto Union 1000 - model that superseded DKW 3=6
6:49 Concept of doors and inside looks very similar to BMW Isetta from 1950s, I wonder if there was some "borrowing" going on there
9:41 That's interesting, there was 2CV with 4 wheel drive powered by two engines one in front and on in back, that had almost unaltered 2CV body - called 2CV Sahara. It might seem funny at first but as a car designed for very harsh driving conditions ingeniously allowed to keep driving even when one engine had catastrophic failure.
The Isetta came to my mind too... 0.3l bike engine. Ermenegildo Preti meant he built that inspired by a military glider he helped constructing in ww2. Seeing this makes him look like a copy cat ;)
@@justRORIRARU there were companies in the past that claimed that it's not the same it just have similar 'look and feel' ;)
If it has 4 rings on it, it's an "Auto-Union" (owtoh oonihone) not DKW and it's "owdee" not "awdee". Also it's not "pennheart", those cars had no hardened pans inside them, it's "punnaar". It's a french brand, no d, no h.
Great collection.
another great video Inregards to the King Midgets i have often seen them for sale on Ebay over the last 15 to 20 years very reasonably priced in Various Condition but what i like to refer to as very restorable and mostly Complete and /or Original
I wish I had some pictures but I don't. In the mid-1960s a friend of mine took a wrecked 1964 Cadillac Coupe De Boat De Ville with a 454ci V8, and shortened it by close to half. Essentially removed the rear seat and trunk. Cut the drive shaft. And created what he called the 'Cadiddle'. It sat two in the front seat and would do a wheelie with little more than a tap on the accelerator pedal! Truly a one-off!
