snook's dream cars

A cozy size facility and every car is a gem. Old posters and artifacts adorn the place which is built like an old Texaco Station. It wasn't crowded at all and I got to take a peek in the real garage area where several old cars were being worked on. Very nice old Fords, Model A's, Model T's, 1934, 1940 Ford. Old Chevy's. Packards. A pristine MG. They also buy and sell old cars and repair and restore. We were traveling from Pennsylvania to Chicago and took a slight detour off the Interstate to see this place. A nice diversion on an otherwise uninteresting Interstate trip. A short side trip for us off I-80 onto I-75 and then a few miles south. Seniors discount. Worth the hour or two to go visit.

We use TripAdvisor for finding things to see while on a trip. As we take our time traveling we can pull off and do these fun things. We toured the facility and found a gem of a Chevrolet green pickup. Too bad it wasn't for sale. It was perfect to tool around in. Talk to the owners, looked at the repair shop, dreamed about the Morris Mini and just thought how cool it would be to go to the store in! They take such care in the keeping of those memories we have.

Who would think you would find a car museum of this caliber in rural Ohio? The front is a reconstructed "gas station" probably dating to the late 40s/early 50s. Unfortunately, I remember these gas stations. You go inside and you're going back 60 years in time. All of this was great and brought back a lot of memories. The real gem however is the back area where there is a collection of cars going back to the 1930s. While walking around we bumped into the owner and had a great conversation about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and, yes, cars! The only critique of the experience was that we couldn't convince him to sell us the 1964 Jaguar MK2. It is in running condition...it's a bute! If you go to Bowling Green don't miss this place. Have Fun!

As noted by other reviewers the collection is small, but the cars are unique and lovingly restored. There is a Packard that looks as if it just left the line, two types of Model A's (hardtop and convertible) an amazing Model T among others. There is also a nice collection of memorabila as well as access to a warehouse full of other cars included in the price of admission. Really a great stop for classic car lovers.

If you're a classic car fan you'll love this museum. Some fantastic antique and classic cars and trucks and lots of memorabilia. Worth the trip if you're a fan.

We were staying at a near by hotel and clicked the button that tells you what is near by for you to do. Found this place and was so glad I did. My dad and mom love these old cars. It has a Model T and 55's and 57's. Take the time to go if you like older cars. It was a wonderful stop

This is a really nice display of nice cars and memorabilia. The shop was also open to see some of the cars being worked on at the time. It is nice to see a collection of cars that also still run and are driven, not just museum show pieces. The owner was also very nice to speak with. Great stop!

Great place if you have two hours to spare in Bowling Green. They 27 seven cars (as of June 2014) in display, they are all shiny and look nice.Just a quick glance of what you'll find: model T, model A, GTO, mustang, a couple old Jaguars, among others.Not a very big selection, but this seems more a family hobby transformed into a museum.

We had sropped at Bowling Green for the night and there was a folder of Snook's Dream Cars and we visited the museum. There was a 1956 Ford Victoria identical to one my husband owned many years ago.After that, the visit was sheer joy. So glad we stopped.

This is a great local car museum with some unusual cars, all in wonderful condition. Snook's also has a colelction of vitnage erotic penny movies, so be careful what you let the kiddies look at:)!

This car museum is small with a limited number of cars on display at any given time. The exterior looks like a mid century service station.

This is a gem that any one interested in collectible cars will appreciate. Its automotive items is not limited to cars alone. This is an exhibit about past car manufacturers in northwestern Ohio and, as one reviewer mentions, there all kinds of accessories on display. Plus a working car restoring garage is on the premises. Children and those interested in history and beautiful machines of the past will also enjoy a visit here. In short it is for the family.

Heard about Snook's Dream Cars as I was passing through Bowling Green last week and decided I had to stop. Glad I did. It's not The Henry Ford Museum, but this is a respectable collection of excellent cars--including some classic foreign automobiles alongside the usual American classics.I was excited to see a Model A Station Wagon--not a car you see everyday. The owner knows his stuff, and the place is laid back enough that if you have questions he's happy to show you around.If you are in Bowling Green, don't pass this one by!

Spent a great couple of hours here. Being a Brit, it was great to see all the old American cars from the films, plus the old English classics. Everything about the place was friendly and welcoming, first seeing the old Garage front with an old petrol pump, leading in to his Texaco collection, automobilia and accessories, pedal cars and advertising incentives from bygone days, then on to the cars. A great collection in a perfect setting, in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Jeff was welcoming and let us wander at our leisure and was on hand to answer any questions. Took pictures galore and just loved the place. There is also a gift shop. Would highly recommend to anyone be a car enthusiast or not.

I think this place appeals to most everyone with its charming exterior and the wonderful old cars and memorabilia inside. It is a family oriented place and just the right size to see everything in a short period of time. We are locals and have taken friends and family there for an outing many times. The display of cars changes every so often so it is enjoyable each time. If you are lucky you might get to view a car actually being worked on in the garage.
