AER Auto Museum
Showroom of Classy Vintage
Cars
What began as a passion for classic
and hot rod cars soon became an incredible showroom filled
with vintage cars and memorabilia.
The AER Auto Museum is located in a 12,000-square-foot
showroom in Carrollton, Texas, at the company’s corporate
headquarters. The museum features 14 cars and trucks,
each with descriptive informational signs. The cars are waxed
to perfection, and those with raised hoods
reveal engines that shine with the care that has been bestowed
upon them.
The backdrop for the vintage-cars display
is a 360-degree life-size mural that took two years to
complete. Artist Duke Horn painted the mural from 1994
to 1996. Using monochromatic black, white and red paint, the
artist draws viewers in with endearing scenes of days gone
by. The mural depicts famous and familiar scenes that correspond
with the wall’s location—such as the Dallas skyline
on the east wall, and Fort Worth on the west—with numerous
classic cars, hot rods and motorcycles throughout.
Among our favorites
AER Chairman Bob McGraw and fellow AER
employees have filled the showroom with their own personal
car collections.
