Classic Car Museum of St. Augustine — Attraction in Saint Augustine

There is nothing more breathtaking than witnessing your child's face light up with joy, hearing their laughter echo through the room, or seeing tears of pure elation stream down their face as they experience unbridled happiness. At the Classic Car Museum of St Augustine, Florida, I had the privilege of experiencing such beauty with my daughter, thanks to the kindness and generosity of Sidney and Brenda Hobbs, the owners. My daughter's passion for cars, ignited by the 2006 Disney film "Cars," has only grown stronger with time. As a high school senior, class of 2021, I wanted to capture her senior photos in a way that reflected her passion, so I reached out to Sidney Hobbs of The Classic Car Museum of St. Augustine, Florida. After listening to my vision, he graciously invited us to take the photos at the museum, even offering to open the museum on a day it was closed. This act of kindness was especially meaningful, as my daughter has high-functioning autism and often feels overwhelmed by crowds. Through their selfless act, Sidney and Brenda Hobbs created an unforgettable experience for us. With 30,000 square feet of classic cars to explore, my daughter was in her element, reveling in the thrill of gripping steering wheels, sitting in plush car seats, and feeling the rush of adrenaline as she accelerated. As we navigated the museum, the roar of engines and the excitement of our adventure left an indelible mark on our hearts. In her own words, my daughter exclaimed, "I had the best day of my life!" This day will forever be etched in our memories as a testament to the power of kindness and the joy of pursuing one's passions. If you're looking for a way to put a smile on your loved one's face, to be treated with kindness and respect, and to experience a memorable, educational, and fun-filled day that will leave you feeling inspired, then visit the Classic Car Museum in St Augustine, Florida. It's an experience that will leave you feeling uplifted and energized, without breaking the bank. As we look back on our visit, we're remisometimes the smallest acts of kindness can have the...

My wife and I were on vacation in Amelia Island, and I am always looking for classic car stores or events when we travel. I asked for recommendations on the corvetteforum and was told this was a must see. We pulled the top off our '17 Vette and took the ferry to A1A all the way. It was a cool drive and of course we had to listen to "ICE, ICE Baby" several times on the way. (If your old enough, you know why) LOL!!! We got to the museum and from the start, were not disappointed. My wife is a newbie to old cars but is now married to an old gear head that reverts to a little kid in a candy store when around classics, resto-mods and muscle cars. We were walking around freely. The museum was comfortable and laid back, NOT a stuffy collectors vibe at all. My wife poked her head in the garage restoration area and listened to a couple of guys talking. She came back out, and we started to walk again when Scott came out and said, "Hey, what's your favorite?" We were standing by the '49 Ford "Christmas Truck" which she loves, and she was telling Scott that we decorate using the old red ford truck theme every year. Scott then asked, "Would you like to sit in it?". Now who do you think was a kid in a candy store? After that, Scott said, "But what's your favorite?". This time she pointed at the white Rolls with a big smile. Scott said' "Let's go sit in it". She moved so fast, I was left behind.... Scott continued to show us around, telling stories and letting us sit in different cars. He is a true car guy and loves what he does. When we were leaving, we were invited in and met the owner, Sidney Hobbs. Another really nice guy that is a true car guy. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit and highly recommend visiting if you are in the area. Even if you don't know anything about cars, you will enjoy the atmosphere. We will definitely go again!

Thanks again Scott! Wade & Adria...

My husband and I were looking for a unique getaway car for our wedding so we stopped by one day and Sidney Hobbs (the owner) personally took us around the museum himself! He let us sit in the cars (as my husband is rather tall and some of the older cars can be a little limited on leg room). We ended up choosing the Pink Cadillac (as we were both raised to be huge fans of Elvis) and we were so excited! The day of the wedding, Sidney showed up with the car and escorted us himself and was genuinely wonderful. He even helped stopped traffic so we could get a few photos in. He also brought Elvis sunglasses which my husband modeled for a few of our photos which was too funny! People were stopping on the street and rolling down their windows taking pictures of us in the car and it was really sweet and fun! He was even ready to provide us with a back up car if it rained. Sidney Hobbs and his daughter are wonderful people and it was such a great experience working with them! The museum itself is spectacular, we couldn’t believe how many different types of cars they had. We will definitely be back to show our dads around the museum as they both love...
