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

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
Very fun! We can on a Tuesday afternoon and this held our middle school age kids attention for about 1 hour. Several volunteers shared their knowledge and we had a great time.

Had an amazing time at Stahls. Loved the photo ops with our little one.

Since seeing a local tv station evening news story about Stahls a few years ago, I had been meaning to check it out. I never really prioritized going there, though, thinking that it would end up being another time when I would find myself thinking something akin to "I thought it would be bigger". Having finally visited it, I can now tell you that I WAS ABSOLUTELY WRONG!! THIS PLACE IS NOTHING LESS THAN AMAZING! This collection of automobiles is HUGE, and contains mint condition common, and rare cars from the very beginning of the auto industry through to more recent times. From a curved a dash Olds, to a Tucker, a rare turbine powered Chrysler, a '57 Chevy, a Nash, and many, vehicles from makers, the names of which, are mostly lost in history. And don't get me started on nostalgic paraphernalia! Also, while they accept donations, IT'S FREE! I nearly forgot to mention that they have a collection of antique mechanical music making machines, some of which are absolutely colossal! You, might go there for the cars, but you'll never forget the mechanical music contraptions! Prepare to have your sense of nostalgia satiated!

Very nice museum. Nice spots for kids to have photo ops like the Flintstone and Grinch cars.
