Lions, More Than A Museum 

The Lions Automobilia Foundation is More Than A Museum, its an experience. Our galleries not only feature Southern California’s famous car culture and rich motorsports history, but also the largest collection of Willys cars and trucks in North America as well as the Home of the Spirit of Lions Drag Strip Exhibit.
Preserving and Understanding our Motorsport Heritage
The Lions Automobilia Foundation - Museum is the Home of the Spirit of Lions Drag Strip featuring a replica of the iconic starting line, staging lanes, and tower. Nostalgia race fans will discover memorabilia and historic cars that raced at Lions dating back to 1955 thru the last drag race in 1972. Beyond the race track, the Lions Automobilia Foundation spotlights the early history of the automotive aftermarket as many of today's well known manufacturers like Isky Cams, Keith Black Engines, Ed Pink and Moon Equipment launched in Southern California. More than a museum, the Lions Automobilia Foundation takes preserving automotive history to the next level with its onsite restoration facility including a custom paint and body department. Our team of talented and veteran restoration experts support the Lions Youth and Career Path Program by providing seminars and workshops to ignite the next generation of builders and designers
Youth & Career Paths in the Automotive Trades
What makes Lions unique is our in house Fab, Paint, Body and Assembly shops that are devoted to maintaining and preserving classic and historical vehicles. Lions Automobilia workshops and seminars demonstrate automotive trades and provide the opportunity to experience a functionating restoration facility. The Lions Automobilia Foundation is proud to support Hot Rodders of Tomorrow, a Nationwide High School Engine Building Competition and host a competition in May at Lions. Lions recently introduced the Spark Plug Challenge, an opportunity for youth visiting Lions to learn how to change a spark plug.
Southern California Car Culture
Southern California’s Car Culture is closely coupled with Californians dating back to the arrival of the horseless carriage and magnified by Hollywood imagery as seen in the Lions Hollywood Gallery.
