Cussler Museum

The Cussler Museum stands as a testament to the enduring passion for automotive history cultivated by renowned author Clive Cussler. Our mission is to preserve and showcase over 100 rare and vintage automobiles spanning from 1906 to 1965, offering visitors a unique journey through automotive innovation and design. Founded on Clive Cusslers lifelong dedication to classic cars, the museum reflects decades of meticulous collection-building, beginning with his first acquisition of a 1946 Ford club coupe. Our seasonal operations from May to September provide structured access to this extraordinary collection, while our venue remains available year-round for special events. The museums curated exhibits highlight mechanical masterpieces that embody the artistry and engineering of their eras, ensuring these vehicles are appreciated as cultural artifacts.

Through public tours and private rentals, we aim to educate and inspire future generations about automotive heritage. Our team is committed to maintaining the highest standards of preservation and accessibility, honoring Clive Cusslers legacy of storytelling and mechanical fascination. The museums location in Arvada, Colorado, serves as a regional destination for enthusiasts and historians alike. By combining historical context with hands-on preservation efforts, we bridge the gap between past and present automotive excellence. Our operating schedule and admission policies are designed to accommodate diverse visitor needs while sustaining the integrity of the collection.
