What a great weekend for cars in Salina! 🚗❤️

We loved welcoming more than 75 members of the Vintage Motor Car Club of America to The Garage! These automotive enthusiasts traveled from across the country to spend the weekend in Salina; bringing some pretty incredible vehicles with them.

We’re always proud to share The Garage and our community with visitors from across the U.S. Thanks for making Salina a stop on your journey! 🏁

Who knew a hubcap could look this good on the ceiling?! 💡🚗

Vintage Ford hubcaps donated by AutoZone and transformed into one-of-a-kind lights by Travis at Pestinger Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc.

Old parts. New purpose. Perfect for The Garage. ❤️

🔥💡 Now THIS is a light fixture.

One of the newest additions to The Garage is officially hanging and it might be one of the coolest custom pieces in the entire building!

This one-of-a-kind automotive chandelier was designed and handcrafted by Brian Freeman, owner of Perfect Blend Construction in Lindsborg, Kansas. Built from vintage-style red taillights and plenty of creativity, it looks just as incredible turned off as it does lit up. 🚘✨

Brian isn’t just a talented craftsman; he’s also a member of The Garage and has generously loaned vehicles from his own collection for our exhibits over the years.

We love when the people who support The Garage also become part of the story we’re creating here. ❤️

Thank you, Brian, for dreaming up something completely unique for us. We can pretty safely say you won’t find another chandelier quite like this one!

Custom built. Automotive inspired. 100% The Garage. 🔥

Visitors who travel to Salina’s Garage Automotive Museum this fall will no doubt be impressed with the collection of red vehicles for the museum’s “Red Hot Rides” exhibit, which includes one 1950 Piper Pacer.
