Welcome

A show you can experience — not just look at

In the hall at the Tulln fairgrounds, every car tells its own story: Rocket engines, Space-Age design and the spirit of the American auto industry — explained in plain language, no jargon.

Clear & relaxed

Easy paths, generous spacing between exhibits and quiet zones overlooking the Danube floodplain. No crowds — time to take it all in.

Plenty of photos & detail

For every car: year, engine, highlights and restoration history in English. Original ads and workshop photos at each station.

Made for Austria

Prices in euros, accessible entrance, parking right in front of the hall — perfect for a weekend trip from Vienna.

The collector

Ing. Franz Huber — passion, not fashion

Franz Huber, 62, a mechanical engineer from Tulln, has collected Oldsmobiles for over three decades. What began as a teenage dream after an exchange year in Ohio is now one of the few dedicated Oldsmobile collections in Austria.

"I didn't want an anonymous museum hall," Huber says. "Visitors should smell, feel, hear — that's why I explain in person why the Rocket engine was revolutionary and why Oldsmobile broke the rules with the Toronado in 1966."

His workshop in Sieghartskirchen restores not only his own cars — Huber helps Austrian classic owners source parts and documents every step for the show.

"Oldsmobile was General Motors' innovation lab. In Tulln I show what still fascinates us today."
