The museum contains approximately 140 vehicles from Japan, Europe and the US. The cars are in phenomenal condition and very well presented. It does a great job showing how advances in auto technology was inspired by the interaction between countries.

The museum also  has a Culture Showroom with about 4000 auto posters, toys and mascots on display.

The gift shop really is a great place to purchase souvenirs, especially if you are interested in Toyota models that were only for sale in Japan.

Looks like a very interesting place. The museum’s website, unfortunately, does not provide a lot of detail about the exhibits. However, I found this:  https://www.globalphotos.org/nagoya-city05.htmApparently, Franklin Roosevelt’s Packard Twelve ended up here.
