Not really a museum, but a destination that automobile enthusiasts should not miss. Vehicles are on display inside a historical building in downtown Bay City. All vehicles are available for sale, but it is also fun to “window shop.” Who knows, the hot rod you’ve always dreamed about could be on display right now! Bay City Motor Company’s inventory is continually changing as cars are continually finding new homes with their new owners, so visit often!

A fun adventure for the entire family. Begin your visit in the NASCAR Room—loaded with almost every model collectible toy car ever raced!

Be sure not to miss the highlight of the museum—the motorized Fire Trucks! Containing over 80 fire trucks, this exhibit’s oldest truck is the 1914 International, believed to be the oldest motorized fire truck in the world. Also, make sure to see the New York Super-Pumper, the biggest fire truck ever built. Other exhibits in the museum include the Snap-On Tool Room, the Coca-Cola Room, the 9/11 Memorial, the Antique Alarm System, and more.
