It might look like a sleepy town, but hidden in Rambler Ranch in Elizabeth, Colorado, USA, is arguably the world’s best car collection.

It’s the world’s largest collection of AMC vehicles.

Billed as being ‘well worth the price of admission’ – visitors seem to agree.

In fact, guests are treated to a unique historical experience.

The world’s best car collection?

The ‘Centennial State’ of Colorado isn’t where you might think of for automotive excellence.

While the car collection at Rambler Ranch isn’t about cutting-edge technology or breaking speed records – if you have an affinity for old cars it’s certainly worth the trip.

The hidden gem is home to the largest collection of AMC (American Motors Corporation) vehicles in the world.

Touted to be an absolute must-see’ the car collection features a near-comprehensive collection of Nash, Rambler, AMC, Jeep, and Eagle vehicles.

Its goal lies in historical preservation educating younger visitors, and sparking nostalgia in older guests.

The sprawling site of seven buildings contains far more than just cars, though.

It also boasts ‘Kelvinator appliances and various associated products, advertising, promotional materials, toys, collectibles,’ and other nostalgic Americana.

Other car collections to get your engine revving

This isn’t the only place that classic car fans can rev their engines.

One restaurateur in Sicily is hiding a secret classic car collection behind his restaurant that boasts Italian and ‘foreign’ beauties.

He’s been collecting them for years.

Meanwhile, this unbelievable $3 million car collection in Arizona has an owner with a unique fascination with specific cars.

Plus at Galpin Speed Shop in Los Angeles, California, their custom car collection has an unbelievable number of rare and one-off gems.

They include a one-off Dodge Charger, dubbed the Willomet Charger, this motorcycle that has been kitted out with a V12 engine from a Lamborghini Espada, and this guy who made his own off-road Tesla Cybertruck
