Your classic car donation to the Audrain can help preserve local history and help fund educational initiatives. Your vehicle, and its associated collections, are important to you, but by donating it to the Audrain, not only will your collecting legacy live on, it will become integral in preserving automotive history for future generations of car enthusiasts.

The Audrain Automobile Museum has been proud to display vehicles that have been donated from private owners. If you have a classic, vintage, or antique car that you’re looking to donate to a car museum, consider donating it to the Audrain Automobile Museum! Our classic car donation program can help with those pesky little details. If your car has been handed down a few generations, you may have a hard time tracking down missing legal documents like the classic car’s title – and perhaps registration has lapsed. For many who have not maintained the car, the cost of repairs and fixing up are greater than the value of the car. Maybe your vintage car is not in the best shape to sell it for a profit. It Doesn’t Make Sense to Sell the Car.When you donate a vintage car, your car will be towed for free and the charity will receive at least 80% of the gross proceeds from the sale of your vehicle. If you own a vintage Cadillac or antique El Dorado, getting the right replacement parts can be an expensive and time-consuming endeavor. The cost and effort involved with maintenance and repair of these specialty vehicles are one reason owners choose to donate a classic car. What’s the point of hiding a beautiful car that someone else can give new life to? Maybe a boat has replaced the antique Packard in your carport - or maybe you and your loved one are ready to pursue other adventures. It’s okay to let go of that antique that has been under a tarp in your driveway or taking up precious space in your garage for years now. Maybe you have a new hobby or your lifestyle has changed completely. You may have joined some antique car owner clubs and enjoyed weekend drives with other antique car enthusiasts. Let’s face it, when you bought your antique Studebaker, you were buying into a lifestyle. There are many reasons people choose to give collector car donations to charity. Or you’re tired of sinking time and money into that gas guzzler of a car. Maybe it’s been awhile since you’ve experienced the fun parts.
