Car Museums are gaining traction in the entertainment industry, but it is quite rare to find a museum that only displays cars and props from movies and TV shows. There are several vehicles that most of us would pay anything to see in real life because they came from our favorite shows, and the Velvet Collection is the best place to fuel that fantasy.

Located in Branson, Missouri, the Celebrity Car Museum: The Velvet Collection has housed and displayed these rare movie cars since 2012. Some of the cars that made our childhood are on display, including some cars that still haunt some of our nightmares. While the collection rotates as the management sees fit, here is an overview of the cars they have had over the years.

Cars Owned By The Stars: From Sinatra To Elvis

The Velvet Collection has one of the most extensive ranges of celebrity cars. However, this celebrity collection exceeds just cars from movies; you also have cars that some movie stars drove while acting in some movies but not on set. The collection also includes cars that some music stars, politicians, and public figures have driven over the years.

One of the most popular vehicles you will find in the collection is the Prospector RV that Frank Sinatra drove and lived in for a while between shows. After Sinatra gave it up, the same Prospector RV had some features in popular TV shows. Another car that would get your attention is the Ford Pinto that Steve McQueen commissioned for his son Chad McQueen with a special green paint job that is still intact over three decades later.

One of the strange coincidences you will find in the Museum is that there are two Cadillac Limousines in the celebrity car sections. One of them is the 1960 Cadillac that carried Jackie Roberts and John F. Kennedy Jr. when they attended the late president’s funeral. The other Cadillac Limo was a gift from MGM Entertainment to Elvis Presley while filming the 1967 classic Double Trouble. The King of Rock and Roll drove the Cadillac for about three years to public functions in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, several other parts of California, and back to Tennessee before he handed it back. The same Cadillac Limousine got an honorable feature in Charles Bronson’s thriller, the Mechanic. It is one of the few vehicles that has enjoyed multiple celebrity uses.

Another celebrity ride that found its way to the collection is Micheal Jackson’s Golf Cart from Neverland. There are still some disputes about when he drove that cart and which other celebrity was with him while he drove the cart at Lincoln Continental.

As one of the few places aside from Planet Hollywood that recreates the movie experience, the Velvet Collection buys, remodels, and displays some of the prop cars and even recreates the on-screen with their damages and after-effects.

The collection includes the van from Ben Stiller’s 1996 underrated satire The Cable Guy. Jim Carrey’s character Chip drove this van to Matthew Broderick (Steve)’s house to fix his cable, and their relationship evolved around the van and the cable. At the museum, you can see where the producers sawed off the van’s roof, so they could get closer shots of the interiors.

The collection also has the Original El Camino that Aaron Paul’s Jesse Pinkman and the 1988 Chrysler Fifth Avenue that Jonathan Bank’s Mike drove in El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie. You can also find some cars, such as the Hearse that Arnold Schwarzenegger drove in Terminator 3, a bullet-ridden taxi cab that Leonardo DiCaprio barely escaped in the Inception movie. Fans of the 1995 comedy Tommy Boy will love the original 1964 Plymouth GTX Convertible that David Spade and Chris Farley drove in their funny adventures. You can even spot markets from where the deer burst out of the roof.

Other cars in the collection are the 1978 Chevrolet Chevette [GM-T] that Michael Douglas’ frustrated antihero Williams drove in the 1993 classic Falling Down. The car has everything we remember from when Williams left it in traffic, except that interesting “D-Fens” license plate.

You also have some iconic movie cars such as Murtaugh's Caprice Classic from Lethal Weapon 3, The Chariot of Damnation from Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief, the Flintstone Family car from The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas, the race car from Iron Man 2, Billy's Car from Stranger Things, the Sons of Anarchy tow truck, the Ford Taurus from RoboCop, and the Batmobile from the Adam West series.

The Museum also has one of the original Scooby-Doo buses. This bus even has Jay and Tyler Bob's autographs on the dashboard. Another Jim Carrey car is the car that fell apart on the bridge in the popular comedy The Mask. This original car also has all the springs and features they included when making the car split into bits in the movie. However, one of the most impressive rides in the Museum is the Mutt Cutts from Dumb and Dumber. The truck has everything you love from the film, including the fur and tongue.

Since the Museum recreates, rebuilds, and resells some cars from their collection, the collection may change with time. But over the years, they have rebuilt popular rides like Rambo's XT bike from First Blood. The Museum also has remodeled the DeLorean from Back to the Future, and a recreation of cars from Jurassic Park with dinosaur claw marks all over the hood, and Will Smith's bike from I Am Legend.

Car and movie enthusiasts can check out The Velvet Collection in Branson, Missouri, for one of the best exposure to movie prop cars and celebrity rides in America. It is also a good place for families to visit as part of their holiday itinerary.
