Overview

Lions Automobilia Foundation is a nearly 100,000 sq. ft. nonprofit museum and restoration campus dedicated to Southern California automotive and motorsports heritage. Founded in 2019, it houses themed galleries, restored cars, hot rods, drag‑race memorabilia and on‑site restoration shops.

The foundation runs public hours (typically Wednesdays and Saturdays), docent tours, restoration‑shop tours, youth programs and ticketed events; the facility is also available for private events and workshops.

What to Expect

A large, museum‑style campus focused on SoCal car culture with period‑themed environments and active restoration work.

Look out for:

  • Period galleries such as a 1950s speed shop, Main Street Gallery and Rick’s Diner with restored vehicles.
  • The Spirit of Lions Drag Strip exhibit and extensive drag‑race memorabilia.
  • On‑site restoration shops where technicians work on exhibit vehicles and special projects.
  • Noted collections, including one of the largest Willys car/truck collections in North America.

Best way to experience it: Visit on a scheduled public day or book a docent/restoration tour to see both exhibits and the working restoration bays; check the museum website for event or workshop dates before you go.
