Auto World Museum

At Our New Home

Text Box: The all new Auto World Museum features Mr. William E. Backer’s vintage automobile Collection and reflects his and his daughter’s, Vicki Backer McDaniel’s vision. A "home grown" engineer, Bill is a highly successful local manufacturer, businessman, and automobile collector. Bill spent his life collecting the amazing cars he loves. He has now entrusted this remarkable collection to our foundation to insure these automotive treasures are preserved and available for all to see.

1934 Model 40 Ford V8 Roadster

Text Box: A letter sent by Clyde Barrow to Henry Ford in April, 1934 said: Dear Sir: While I still have breath in my lungs I will tell you what a dandy car you make. I have drove exclusively when I could get away with one. For sustained speed and freedom from trouble the Ford has got every other car skinned and even if my business hasn’t been strictly legal it don’t hurt anything to tell you what a dandy car you got in the Ford V-8. Yours truly, Clyde Champion Barrow Text Box: OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK April through December 9 AM TO 5 PM (573) 642-2080
