This February, our Car of the Month is a true symbol of elegance, romance, and timeless automotive design, the 1935 Brewster. With its unmistakable heart-shaped grille, this rare luxury automobile feels tailor-made for the season of love, making it a perfect February feature and a favorite with visitors of all ages.
Brewster automobiles were known for exceptional craftsmanship, refined styling, and coach built sophistication. In the 1930s, Brewster represented the pinnacle of American luxury, blending advanced engineering with dramatic visual presence. The 1935 Brewster exemplifies this tradition, with sweeping lines, balanced proportions, and a grille design that stands apart from anything else on the road, then or now.
What truly sets this car apart is its distinctive heart-shaped radiator grille, a design detail that feels surprisingly modern and undeniably romantic. Whether intentional symbolism or inspired artistry, the grille gives the Brewster a warm personality and makes it one of the most photographed cars in our collection during February. It’s a reminder that automobiles are not just machines, they are expressions of emotion, creativity, and design.
The 1935 Brewster Car of the Month will be on special display throughout February. Whether you’re a classic car enthusiast, a design lover, or simply looking for a unique and romantic photo opportunity, this is a must-see highlight of the month.
Fall in love with automotive history this February and get a souvenir digital photo. Don’t miss the heart of the collection.
What started as a special after-hours favorite has officially become a tradition. Night at the Museum is now a year-round, monthly event, giving guests more opportunities than ever to experience the magic of Stahls Motors & Music Experience after dark.
Once a month, the doors open in the evening and the collection takes on an entirely different personality. Neon signs glow brighter, chrome reflects the lights, and the sights and sounds of automotive and musical history come alive in an intimate nighttime setting. It’s a chance to slow down, wander, and experience the museum in a way daytime visits simply can’t replicate.
Night at the Museum offers full access to the collection, from rare and historic automobiles to extraordinary automated musical instruments. Guests can enjoy the atmosphere at their own pace, perfect for date nights, friends’ outings, or anyone looking for a unique Michigan evening experience. The ambiance alone makes it one of the most photogenic classic car events in Metro Detroit.
By extending Night at the Museum throughout the year, Stahls is answering one of the most common requests from visitors: more chances to experience the collection after hours. Whether you’re a first-time guest or a longtime supporter, each monthly event offers a familiar favorite with a fresh feel, shaped by the season, the lighting, and the energy of the crowd.
If you’ve only seen the museum during the day, Night at the Museum invites you to see it in a whole new light… literally. With its blend of glowing neon, timeless design, and immersive history, this monthly evening event has quickly become one of the most memorable ways to experience Stahls.
Night at the Museum now happens every month, making it easier than ever to plan an unforgettable night surrounded by automotive and musical history.

View DetailsMore than 200 guests joined us for an extraordinary night celebrating one of the most fascinating chapters in automotive history, the Chrysler Turbine Car.
Steve Lehto captivated the audience with the remarkable story behind this groundbreaking machine, sharing insights drawn from his personal interviews with engineers, designers, and insiders connected to the program. Guests were especially intrigued by Steve’s behind-the-scenes account of helping Jay Leno find the team to return his own Turbine Car to running condition.
One of the most meaningful highlights of the evening was welcoming descendants of those who originally worked on the Turbine project. Their presence added a deeply personal connection to the history, reminding us that these cars are not just engineering achievements, but human stories carried forward through generations.
The evening concluded with a moment everyone had been waiting for: Jeff Stumb firing up the Turbine Car. As the engine came to life, visitors experienced the unmistakable, jet-like sound that made this automobile unlike anything before or since. It was a thrilling and memorable finale.
Guests also enjoyed the opportunity to meet Steve Lehto and have copies of his books personally autographed.
