Places to visit in Ahmedabad: Auto World Vintage Car Museum
Auto World Vintage Car Museum
Our city of Ahmedabad has many great places to visit. Today we’re going to highlight the Auto World Vintage Car Museum. In India, we are very fond of cars. Vintage cars hold a special place in our hearts.
The museum is the private collection of Pranlal Bhogilal. Bhogilal, who passed away 7 years ago, was profiled in the late 80s because of his vast collection of automobiles, namely his collection of 93 Rolls Royce’s. Occasionally, he would let governors borrow his Rolls Royce to impress visiting dignitaries. Bhogilal opened up his private collection to the public and the museum usually opened to the public year round. But closed for a day in order to honor Bhogilal’s memory.
Collection of Antique Vehicles
The museum is a collection of antique vehicles including cars, motorcycles, utility vehicles and buggies. The museum, a love letter to the short time in history when automobiles were a sign of wealth and style. Within the collection you can find a vast array of rare and ceremonial cars. Visitors may drive the vehicles for a small fee.
Bhogilal has preserved most of these cars for decades in order for them to be a part of and on display at the museum. The museum alone needs about an hour for patrons to be able to see all the cars in the collection. But of course you can set time apart for a small meal at the cafeteria on site to meet with others who may also be interested in, and knowledgeable of these cars. With over 100 cars, including Rolls Royces, Bentleys, Daimlers, Langondas, Mercedeces, Maybachs, Packards and Cadillacs in the collection you might be talking for a long while.
Great Spot to Visit
The collection is all housed outdoors, with protective awnings covering cars from rain and sun exposure. It’s a great way to spend some time outside during nice days. Entry allowed to all ages, a great experience for children and parents who would love to teach their children about the wonders of the automobile industry. The museum shines a light on a time when automobiles were built to boast about wealth as opposed to modern cars that boast about advancement in technology and are design to give the modern day driver a sense of power.
Auto World highlights the beauty and intricacy of the automobiles that launched the industry we know today, and is a window into the small period of time where cars were for luxury and not everyday use.
This museum is just another great spot to visit if you ever find yourself in Ahmedabad. It is open year-round, and a great stop for the whole family.
