Antique and classic cars, private Motte family collection. The venue includes antque appliances and community history.
In 1951 John Victor Motte bought a Chevrolet Touring for $15, overhauled the engine, and restored the car in the late 1970's. That Chevrolet was the car that began the private collection, and fueled the Motte Brothers desire to restore antique automobiles. The 1926 Chevrolet Touring is currently on display at the Museum, and the preservation of the rest of the restored automobiles continues today.
Leon E. Motte built the Motte's Romola Farms Barn in 1985 with architect Robert Morris. Robert Morris has done much architectural design in downtown Temecula, and is known for his wrought iron work and western artistic touch. After building the Barn in 1985 from all salvaged materials, the Motte’s sold produce for about 10 years before leasing it out to other food vendors, such as Tom's Farms and Hamshaw Farms.
Dedicated to the preservation and education of antique/classic automobiles.
