This little known Rolls-Royce museum in Pennsylvania hosts legendary cars dating back to the 1920s.
Located outside the city of Harrisburg, the Rolls-Royce and Bentley Museum houses an impressive collection of cars.
29 Rolls-Royce and Bentley vehicles are kept in the nondescript buildings in the area of Mecahnicsburg.
It’s owned by the Rolls-Royce Foundation and has an unbelievably impressive lineup, including some movie stars.

Taking a closer look inside the Rolls-Royce Museum in Pennsylvania
Over the years, we’ve seen a lot of cool car museums.
We’ve seen the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky, the Zimmerman Automobile Driving Museum in El Segundo, California, and the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville, Tennessee.
They all vary in different ways, but they have one thing in common – putting amazing cars front and center.
With cars dating back to the 1920s, the Rolls-Royce Bentley Museum in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, is a real treat.
What cars are in this museum?
While the number of visitors it gets might be low, the museum is anything but low-key.
Some of the cars stored within its walls have made their way into Hollywood productions.
For example, a 1961 Rolls-Royce Phantom V was rented out for use in A Complete Unknown, the recent biopic about Bob Dylan which starred Timothée Chalamet.
Amazon Prime has also made use of the museum’s stock, as a 1959 Silver Cloud I made an appearance in the fourth season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
In value, the cars vary massively – some are only $30,000, whilst others are as expensive as $120,000.
The Independent reported that a whiskey delivery truck estimated to be worth $320,000 was recently donated and is set to go on display soon.
Other cars in this remarkable collection included a Bentley Mark VI, a Bentley S, a Phantom Five, and a Phantom Four.
The museum’s history goes back to the 1960s, when Rolls-Royce put an owners’ club in nearby Harrisburg.
However, that location was wrecked by Hurricane Agnes in 1972, so a businessman donated the property in Mechanicsburg for a new facility.
And yes, Mechanicsburg is almost too perfect a name for the location of a car museum, we know.
The museum itself was opened up in 2004, and gets about 1,000 visitors a year, paying a $5 admission fee.
Most people who visit are members of car clubs or students on a school trip.
If you’re ever in the area, why not stop by and pay it a visit?
