ORPHAN CAR SHOW

Rev up your engines and take a trip down memory lane at the Orphan Car Show! This one-of-a-kind event is a celebration of the quirkiest, coolest, and most unforgettable cars from brands that are no longer with us. Think of it as a reunion for the misfits and mavericks of the automotive world, where vintage charm meets retro flair!
From sleek classics to funky oddballs, these “orphaned” cars are packed with personality and stories to tell. Whether you’re here to geek out over rare finds, snap selfies with wild designs, or just soak up the nostalgia, there’s something for everyone. Bring your curiosity, your camera, and maybe even your dancing shoes—because who says a car show can’t be a party? Come join the fun and celebrate the history, creativity, and spirit of the cars that paved the way!
POWER PLAY FOR HEROES
SAT, Nov 8
Join us for a powerful day of patriotism, gratitude, and community as we come together to honor our nation’s heroes. This unforgettable tribute welcomes veterans and guests of all ages to celebrate the courage and sacrifice of those who served. Stay tuned for the announcement of our special hockey game, Team Stahl will once again take on the Detroit Red Wing Alumni team in what is sure to be a nail-biter of a game!
All proceeds will benefit Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs, helping veterans live safer, more independent lives.
Let’s stand together in support, because freedom is never free.

Our Reviews
“My Father, son, & I enjoyed a wonderful tour of the Stahls Museum last week. What a fantastic collection, the music players and automobiles! It was my engineering brained son’s highlight of our trip back east. We appreciated the kind volunteers- answering our questions and helping us to better understand the details and nuances of the fine collection. Beautiful, one of a kind, exceptionally kept displays. We were so impressed and grateful for the generosity of you and your husband – in sharing and opening this experience for the admiring public! Our trip from the center of Idaho – to Michigan was to pick up and tow home my grandfather’s 1951 military jeep – gifted by my late grandfather to my son- who carries his name. My son is turning 17 this weekend and will be entering his newly acquired m38 Willy’s jeep in our small town car show. The joy in his heart- working on and shining up his jeep is filling our home with energy- much as your museum’s effect on us as we explored and took in all the wonders.
I extend our heartfelt thanks to you and your team!
We will certainly make it a point to stop by again if we find ourselves in that neck of the woods!”

“Just a quick note to let you know that our group really enjoyed our visit to your facility. Also the Docents were very good at accommodating us. They all knew we were coming and were happy to make our visit a success. Many of our members came up to me and thanked me for introducing them to the museum. It is unique in that it has large organs, fancy music machines from the early 1900’s and of course the cars. All of which are perfectly clean. Give all the docents a big hand from our guild.”
Best Regards
Stahls was so wonderful! The cars and instruments are so well maintained and enjoyable. There are a few photo op opportunities throughout, so that is fun as well. The volunteers are so friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. We had such a nice visit, and I would highly recommend it. What a fun day date! Check out their website for more details. * The pics are just a sneak peak into all the wonderful cars and instruments they have on display. I didn't want to ruin the surprise. 😘

Amazing place. The player pianos/organs/orchestras are a pleasant surprise. Free, but they do accept donations.

I shared the Stahls experience with a lifelong friend and super knowledgeable car guy, Jim Kilroy. We had an amazing experience and the staff of volunteers educated us on so many things, we were in shock. We cannot wait to visit once again. Thank You to the amazing people on hand to help enhance our first visit.
