On February 22 of 1991, the automobile museum opened its doors to the public and finally the dream of some collectors who love their cars and had waited many years for a place to exhibit them and share the beauty of their pieces with the general public, came true.

Now days, a lot of different associations and car clubs of Mexico City participate with the purpose of joining all the amateurs fans, of those cars that by their characteristics deserve to be recognized like history pieces.

The exposition has a permanent character, even though every three months they change approximately 30 cars with the purpose of giving the same opportunity to all the collectors that wish to show their cars and also to have a variety in the museum. The ticket to enter in the museum is to help the maintenance.

The museum counts with the following service: parking, gift shop, car accessories boutique, car rental for weddings and special event, wheel chairs, etc.

The museum has the purpose of showing the advances in the car industry, also to maintain and conserve the old cars. Until today cars have been exhibited that goes since 1904 until 1970, representing the most famous brands like: Alfa Romeo, Packard, Pierce arrow, Rolls Royce and some others.

In conclusion:  The original translation has words that are translated in a literally way so when you read it sounds strange. Our translation has sentences that make more sense because it uses the appropriate words making correct sentences that are easier to understand. In the original translation the sentences have a bad structure; some of them have the predicate before the subject. It also includes abbreviations that shouldn’t be used in a proper paper.
