NB Center for American Automotive Heritage
Overview
The NB Center for American Automotive Heritage in Sarteano occupies two restored industrial buildings and displays a rotating selection of American cars from the early to mid‑20th century. The site focuses on vehicles kept in running condition and on conservation and restoration work.
Visits and driving experiences are offered by appointment; the Sarteano facility complements the NB Center’s larger collections in Rome and Allentown. The location is best for visitors who want to see working vintage cars and, when arranged in advance, drive them on local roads.
What to Expect
A compact, working heritage site showcasing American middle‑market cars from roughly the 1910s–1950s.
Look out for:
- Restored and road‑ready American cars kept for excursions rather than static display.
- Workshops and visible restoration activity inside converted factory and warehouse buildings.
- Rotating exhibits—the roster of vehicles changes, so specific cars vary by visit.
- Opportunities to arrange supervised driving experiences on surrounding Tuscan roads.
Best way to experience it:
Book a visit or driving appointment in advance through the NB Center website or contact details; allow time for a guided tour and, if booked, a supervised driving excursion to appreciate the cars in motion.
Things to Note
- Visits and drives are by appointment—check the official site before travelling.
- The Sarteano site is compact and focused on working conservation rather than a large museum layout.
- Expect active workshop areas; follow staff instructions for safety near vehicles and tools.
- Travel to the site by car; public transport options in the immediate suburb are limited.
