Our Reviews

Today (12/14/2022) was the 1st time my wife and I were able to visit the Stahls Collection, and we must say we were already blown away by the fantastic assembly of mechanical instruments in just the entry room. Then when the cars took over, whatever room left in the brain to fill it with fantastic automobilia was overloaded with superb examples across the range from 1900 to the 1970’s THREE Thumbs Up!

Lived in Michigan all my life. I moved 3 years ago and back visiting and made sure to stop to check this place out. WOW!!! I went on Tuesday. They have special days and times that they are open so check so you can plan your visit accordingly. And make sure to set aside a chunk of time because you will want to take your time to see everything. Think this is just cars. Nope they have an awesome collection of music automats such as player pianos but they have all types with accordions , violins and huge ones with what seemed to be an entire orchestra. In the beginning of your tour, you start in a room filled with them. Along with other antiques such as a few automated fortune tellers and antique games. The guide will play a few and explain what you're seeing and hearing. Pretty neat. Then in the main warehouse the huge ornate ones are set off randomly playing tunes from Phantom of the Opera, and Johnny Cash, U2, and much more. But then there's the cars. The cars are plenty and gorgeous. I found myself walking around 2-3 times because I didn't want to miss anything. I just loved seeing it all. And it was fun when I went because it was decorated for Halloween. Best thing is, it's free but you'll want to leave a donation. Definitely make the time to visit. It's fun for the entire family.
