LeMay - America's Car Museum Opens To Large Crowds

A 10-year vision became a reality on Saturday as opened its doors to the public for the first time in Tacoma.

A stream of car buffs entered its doors, all to look at the vast private automobile collection of the late Harold E. LeMay:

America’s Car Museum turned on the ignition today with a grand opening that drew thousands of people to the 165,000 square-foot automotive museum, the largest in North America. ACM, dedicated to celebrating America’s love affair with the automobile,  features the cars of Harold E. LeMay, whose car collection, at its peak, numbered more than 3,000 vehicles and led to the creation of the new museum in Tacoma.

Opening festivities included remarks by museum President and CEO David Madeira and Nancy LeMay, widow of Harold, plus fireworks, an outdoor car show and a free concert by six-time Grammy Award winners Asleep at the Wheel.

We'll have more information about the museum's opening weekend later. For now, check out this picture provided by the car museum.
