The Tampa Bay Automobile Museum, located in Pinellas Park, Florida in the Tampa Bay Area, displays historic automobiles from the 20th century. All of the vehicles displayed are from the collection of Alain Cerf, a French entrepreneur and the Cerf family.
The collection is focused on innovative engineering. This includes rare front-wheel drive cars from 1899-1937, Tatra air-cooled V8 rear engine cars, rear-engine Mercedes-Benz, Citroën cars, the only 1965 original all wheel drive Ford Mustang, electric and hybrid cars from the early 1900's, early two and valveless four stroke engines, the only surviving car by French engineer Émile Claveau, and a unique working full-scale replica of the first self-propelled mechanical vehicle, the steam powered Fardier of Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot.[1]
