Opened by Herbert and Bob Horn in 1953 as Horns' Cars of Yesterday, it was promoted as the "second oldest continuously operating antique car museum" in the United States.[2] The museum displayed rare cars and ones owned by famous people.[3] It also had an Italian Car Collection which included cars from Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, and Rivolta.
It closed in June 2023 after the land owner, New College of Florida, terminated its lease. The site was turned into the Beruff Family Field of Dreams baseball stadium.[4]
