The National Automobile Museum, located in Reno, Nevada, is a museum dedicated to showcasing the history of the automobile. The museum was opened in 1989 and features a collection of over 200 vintage and classic automobiles, including cars from the 19th century to the present day.

The museum's collection is housed in a 100,000 square-foot building that is designed to look like a classic car showroom. The exhibits are arranged in chronological order and highlight the evolution of the automobile and its impact on American culture. Some of the museum's most notable cars include the 1907 Thomas Flyer, which won the 1908 New York to Paris Race, and the 1949 Mercury driven by James Dean in the movie Rebel Without a Cause.

The museum also features interactive exhibits that allow visitors to experience what it was like to travel by car in the early 20th century, as well as a research library that contains a collection of books, magazines, and photographs related to the history of the automobile.
