With over 100 vehicles spanning the history of the horse-less carriage around the world, this museum is not just for technophiles. Styling, fashion trends and history are all given considerable weight. See a working replica of the first production Toyota, as well as such historical novelties as a Packard Twin-Six, specially made for U.S. president Franklin Roosevelt, and a dazzling exhibit of Lalique glass hood ornaments. A new annex shows how the automobile has influenced life in Japan. See website for map and details.
