Ypsilanti Automotive Heritage Museum

Housed in the last surviving Hudson Motor Car Company dealership in Depot Town, this small museum preserves local automotive history with a focus on Hudson, Tucker, Kaiser-Frazer and other regional marques. The restored dealership setting and period displays give a clear sense of early–mid 20th century car culture.

The collection of about 30 vehicles spans early 1900s to the 1970s and is complemented by artifacts, interpretive panels and regular community events such as Depot Town Cruise Nights and the Orphan Car Show. The museum is a compact, walkable visit best suited to automotive enthusiasts and local history visitors.
