The Bennett Classics Antique Car Museum

Reviewed By cherriseb2018

A wonderful and well-worth the trip activity for a rainy day in the mountains of North Carolina. Over 70 automobiles in immaculate condition. We were told 69 of them were purchased by Mr. Bennett himself and he has a story for each one. If you enjoy the art of classic automobiles (and a couple newer muscle cars), this is a great way to spend a couple hours. And if you are lucky, as we were, there may be someone visiting that knows A LOT about cars and can share some interesting details with you.
