Automotive Gallery
Welcome to the Sloan Museum's Buick Automotive Gallery and Research Center! Located at 303 Walnut Street, on the corner of Longway Boulevard, the Gallery features over 25 classic and concept Buicks, Chevrolets and other locally built automobiles. Regular feature cars exhibited include our five concept cars designed by Buick: 1951 XP-300, 1954 Wildcat II, 1956 Centurion, 1963 Silver Arrow I, and 1977 Phantom. A Hellcat Tank Destroyer built by Buick during World War II is also on display. Our automobiles occasionally travel for short-term special exhibits. Please call ahead to make sure the one you’re looking for is here for your visit! Buick Automotive Gallery has something for everyone! Visitors can relax with an old glass bottle Coke® at the 1940s soda fountain of Mackenzie's Drug Store; pose for a photograph behind the wheel of the Museum's climb-on car, a 1917 Buick Touring; or observe Museum staff and volunteers as they work on our automotive collection in our new vehicle conservation and restoration shop. There’s always something happening at the Buick Automotive Gallery! While you’re here, stop in to the Sloan Museum's Perry Archives.
