At Stahls, we are proud to sponsor the next generation of motorsport talent, cheering on fearless drivers who bring passion, grit, and awesome performances to the racetrack. We are excited to feature two incredible young racers representing our museum!
Charlie Baur
Charlie Baur is an ambitious 20-year-old, first-generation sprint racer from Fenton, Michigan, and the first official athlete sponsored by Stahls Motors and Music Experience. Charlie began driving at the age of 3, starting with snowmobiles, moving on to four-wheelers and jet skis. At 12 years old he started racing quarter midgets, then upgraded to race karts. When he turned 16, Charlie set in motion his passion for sprint racing, and today he competes with both pavement and dirt sprint cars.His journey still has its fair share of twists, turns, and challenges – but such is the reality of the racetrack, and life itself. He faces hardships head-on, and Stahls is proud to sponsor such an important member of the new generation’s athletes and car lovers.
Andrew Bogusz
Joining Charlie as a proud representative of Stahls is 20-year-old Andrew Bogusz. A mechanical engineering student at Lawrence Technological University, Andrew competes full-time in the Tri-State Sprints series and the Grand Bend Speedway Weekly Series for Eddie Sachs Racing, driving the No. 17 winged sprint car. Andrew’s racing career started in quarter midgets and dirt go-karts before moving up to sprint cars in 2022, where he earned the Must See Racing Midwest Lights Rookie of the Year award. Over four full-time seasons, he racked up an impressive seven wins, 31 top-five finishes, and a best points finish of third.
Join us in celebrating both Charlie and Andrew as they fly the Stahls flag high on tracks across North America! 🏎️💨
Welcome to Stahls Motors & Music Experience, Michigan’s destination where automotive history and music come alive. Explore rare and iconic automobiles alongside extraordinary automated musical instruments, all presented as living, moving history.
From daytime tours to Night at the Museum under a neon glow, Stahls offers immersive experiences that connect design, engineering, sound, and storytelling. Special events, speaker series, concerts, and community fundraisers keep the collection vibrant and always changing.
More than a museum, Stahls is a place to experience the creativity and innovation that shaped how we move and how we listen. Whether you’re a classic car enthusiast, music lover, educator, or first-time visitor, there’s something here that will surprise and inspire.
Step inside and experience where rhythm meets the road.
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.
