They did have a few cars from after 1950 and before 1920. This is 1964 Corvette concept car and a 1906 Cadillac. In addition, there is a fine collection of automotive art. A highlight is this small bronze sculpture entitled Jaguar by Vicenzo Tabacco. As a Canadian citizen living most of my life in Western Canada, I have considered the auto to be an unavoidable necessity.
Distances are vast and public transport is spotty and expensive.
In 1997-98 I was working in Mississippi. While the Interstate highways are excellent, it is disappointing to see the lack of public transportation and lack of consciousness on automobile issues. Life was impossible without a car. My current primary transportation is a 1993 Chevrolet Corsica. I have owned this five-year lemon since April 1998.
