There are trucks from very early (1800's) through the present. Not sure of the number. If you're like me it would take 1 to 11/2 hours to walk through and look.

Not sure of the exact amount of vehicles but even I found it very interesting the techniques they had to use and the resourceful tools they came with during the early days of vehicles. We were a group of 8 adults ranging from 45-80 in age, both men and women. We all found it interesting and well worth the admission (AAA members get a discount).
