The area
Neighborhood: Palermo
Best known as the largest neighborhood in Buenos Aires, Palermo is divided into different quarters, each with its own unique identity. The high-end quarter is Palermo Chico, characterized by magnificent mansions, regal avenues, and exclusive apartment buildings, and home to the Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires (MALBA), a favorite amongst locals. The largest park in the city, the Bosques de Palermo, is Palermo's most famous landmark and a popular destination for nature walks, picnics, rollerblading, and cycling. The scene becomes much trendier in Palermo Soho, a hip area known for its cool cafés and unique design stores, filled with shoppers on weekends; and Palermo Hollywood, renowned for the numerous restaurants, bars and nightclubs, which make it the preferred spot for nights out and special occasions.

This is a small but excellent museum, it have around 25 cars but they are all amazing.
In the hall of the ACA are 4 cars and 2 motorcycles. Take the elevator to the 1.st floor and there are some fantastic old racing cars and even a Daimler from 1892.
There are different formula one 1 cars through 3 ages. It's small, it is good and it is free.
Open form 10 - 17 on normal work days.
Only minus is that all the information plates are on Spanish..

A nice place to get out of the hot 37C day. Four cars on the entry level, take the stairs to the rest of the show. Some early model cars I had not seen elsewhere along with some Formula period cars...check out the GP Renault. A couple outside in the parking lot, old pumps, posters, trophies. Very limited room, which may inhibit the display size?

My husband arrived this afternoon March 10th a Saturday at 3:30 p.m. and the young woman inside mouthed to us that it was closed. No signs no entrance no exit no hours nothing!!! Seriously people use your heads. We are not from here. Try to make it easier on us. We are your guests. Treat us accordingly. We would have loved to have seen the museum.

This was a very small collection - about 4 cars on the ground floor, and the main collection up on the first floor. Absolutely beautiful old cars, you could feel the history surrounding them. Admission was free, which was a bonus. We stayed about an hour here, so my husband could read all the details (especially the old racing cars). Glad we made the effort to see them.

Housed on the second floor of the ACA Club headquarters inside a massive concrete building built by one of Argentina's great architects, A. Bustillo, are truly some automotive works of art. There is a great deal of information related to Argentina's famed racing history. Several racing cars are proudly displayed including an exceptionally restored 1949 Ferrari 166 once driven by racing legend Juan Fangio. In addition, there is a nice collection of antique cars, trucks, motorcycles as well as automotive memorabilia - all very nicely displayed. The museum is free. Hours are roughly 10-5 and I would imagine crowds are not an issue as I was the only visitor during the hour I spent here. It is located on Avenida del Libertador across from Parque Tres de Febrero and close to several museums. Auto enthusiasts should not miss this museum.

There was no advertising, not even a sign outside. Go in and look at the 6 cars in the foyer, then ask the receptionist if you can see the others, on first floor.
It is free!

Having visited many mostly European car museums I was pleasantly surprised with the 18 vehicles on display here. Highlights for me were an early Austin, a two inline seater Wanderer and the scale 1:10 models are to die for!
Not a reason to visit Argentina but if you are a car enthusiast in Buenos Aires park your travelling companion at the Croc Madame cafe opposite (gate house for the decorative arts museum) and enjoy....although I think most travelling companions would find this small museum sufficiently entertaining to see how small is beautiful.
It seems they do rotate and reposition vehicles. No English information on this or museum but some plaques in dual language.
Free, 10-5 weekdays maybe also weekends but check!
