FORT WORTH, TX, May 15, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Tucked inside a massive 150,000-square-foot former Coors distribution facility, the newly opened DFW Car & Toy Museum has quickly transformed into one of North Texas' must-see attractions. At the recent Tarrant County inaugural Cars and Coffee event, the museum captured the imaginations of families, car collectors, and nostalgia seekers alike. With free admission, dog-friendly galleries, and toy exhibits, it's not just a museum—it's an experience you did not know you needed.
Cars and Coffee is the largest car event in the DFW area, founded years ago by Steven Wayland III, but has always hosted its events outside Tarrant County, usually in Dallas.
With more than 200 cars on display, including rare and exotic models such as Italian sports cars, British classics, and supercars, the museum offers a unique and exciting experience for all ages. Among the standout exhibits is the beloved "Mystery Van" from Scooby-Doo, which has become a fan favorite, along with the "Let's Go Camping" exhibit featuring vintage Volkswagen buses, complete with accessories, tents, tables, and even a boat.
The museum has earned glowing reviews, with many visitors calling it "the best free museum in America." Guests also appreciate its pet-friendly policy, which allows dogs to join in on the fun. Many visitors are bringing their furry companions, making it a great outing for the whole family, including the four-legged members.
"We're thrilled with the response so far. The museum has exceeded all our expectations, and it's wonderful to see so many families, car lovers, and even pet owners enjoying everything we have to offer," said Ron Sturgeon, the owner of the museum and the collection of cars. "We're also excited to offer the museum as a venue for events, and we encourage visitors to come by, take pictures with their families, and share their experiences with us on social media," says Ron Sturgeon, museum owner.
