Auto World - Ahmedabad

A museum of Vintage & Classic Cars of India

It was a boring Sunday. My daughter was getting stressed due to study for her forthcoming board examination. Nothing goes inside her head. I searched the net, what is there in Ahmedabad we can visit and enjoy. Moreover, she could be stress free.

I could find one, at the opposite side of Ahmedabad - on the eastern side. It is a Vintage Car Museum. After a heavy breakfast, we decided to set out. We took the inner road instead of ring road. Most of the roads are BRTS in Ahmedabad. Being Sunday, it was a pleasure driving.

We crossed the whole city in 45 minutes and reached at the eastern periphery of the city. Once on the ring road, another 4 km north, we reached the location. The car parking was open between the trees & free. The parking itself is a beautiful picnic spot. Because of the dense canopies, it provides shades to the ground, to car precisely.

There are entry tickets for visit as well as for still camera. As we were carrying one camera, we bought one ticket for it. There is one tag for camera to be tied, else the security would ask for the same.

We entered the campus. It's  huge and well maintained.

World Vintage Car Museum - Ahmedabad

'Auto World' is a part of one the most important collections of Antique Vehicles - Cars, Motorcycles, Utility Vehicles, Buggies etc. Built by one family over the last century. It represents several of the greatest marquees of cars from all over the world, of all types and ages. 

It showcases that time of history when an automobile was not a mere means of transport but a symbol of wealth, power, and style; the mighty ceremonial limousines, the romantic convertibles and the snappy "Sports Cars" -cars specially coach built like Railway Saloons, Horse drawn Carriages, Boat tailed Wooden Speedsters, Shooting Brakes - Cars built for the Riches and Famous, cars to see and be seen in.

Witness the triumph of human creativity, combining the best of science and technology with sublime art and aesthetics, all at Auto World. Facilities at Auto World include a Souvenir Shop, Cafeteria, an Auditorium and Fun drive at Vintage Cars.

There are so many more cars that this space would be limited to capture them all. Some of them are showcased in the blog..
