Dozens of vehicles, everything from horse-drawn carriages to motorized cars and trucks to bicycles, are on display in a former truck body manufacturing plant. Also on display are significant examples of roadside architecture: a 1921 Sunoco gas station and a 1938 prefabricated diner. The Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles also features changing exhibits and special events throughout the year. Private Vehicle Collection (subject to availability) Every vehicle in the 3 Dog Garage collection is unique. Each has a history all its own, and each is preserved and presented as a tribute to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the individuals who were instrumental in their creation. Every vehicle in the collections is, in some way, a Ford. Some were purpose-built from the ground up to racing specifications. Others are modified examples of production-line automobiles. In either case, the vehicles stand as testimony to a period in American history that saw enthusiastic self-expression, mechanical skill, innovation and creativity combine to produce vehicles that were the technical and/or aesthetic realization of the goals of their creators, and it is to them that the collections are dedicated.
