Washington's classic car scene is anchored by LeMay America's Car Museum in Tacoma — one of the largest auto museums in the world, with around 250 cars on display and a foundation collection of nearly 3,500 vehicles built by the LeMay family. The Concours d'Elegance Pacific Grove series, the various Seattle and Tacoma cruise events, and the XXX Root Beer Drive-In cruise nights in Issaquah keep the scene active. The Forest Grove Concours d'Elegance is just across the Columbia in Oregon. Pacific Northwest weather is moist but salt-free for the inland regions, and the strong Boeing-era prosperity through the Puget Sound area produced a substantial collector base.
Donated classic cars from Washington include American muscle from across the state, European sports cars from Seattle and Bellevue collectors (Porsche, Mercedes, MG, Triumph, Jaguar, Volvo classics, and the occasional Ferrari), vintage pickups from Yakima Valley and eastern Washington agricultural operations, and pre-war Fords and Chevrolets from estate channels. Boeing-era prosperity produced an unusual concentration of well-maintained Mercedes, Cadillacs, and Lincolns from the 1960s through 1980s. Northwest weather ages cars steadily but garage-kept survivors are common.
