A must visit place if you are planning to visit Ahmedabad,
India.
I happen to visit this place in February, 2013 on a nice
sunny day.
A trip to Auto World, one of India’s biggest Vintage &
Classic car museum can make you nostalgic. The trip leaves you fascinated as you marvel at the vintage cars on
display from early 1900 to 1950s. Cars
which used to be epitome of luxury & status.
The museum was created by Late Shri Pranlal Bhogilal, a
connoisseur of vintage cars who passed away in 2011 leaving a unique legacy of
its kind. His family is taking care of the legacy.
The museum has rich collection of Vintage car models such
as Fort T model, Cadillac, Rolls Royce Phantom, May batch, Bentley ,
Jaguar, Mercedes, Fiat, Austin Ruby,
Magna, Sunbeam, Daimler, Rover , Chrysler, Humber, Riley, Alvis, Citroen and
Lincoin. One of the car has separate place for keeping rifles.
There are 100 plus vintage cars on display maintained in
excellent condition. They also offer rides around the estate for a fee in some
of these vintage cars. Apart from cars, there are also vintage carts and
motorcycles on display.
The place also has a restaurant serving delicious Gujarati
food and a small park for children making this an ideal place for outing with
the family. Ideal time of 3 -4 hours is sufficient to see the place.
Entry charges are Rs.50 and camera fee is Rs.100.
