LeMay - America's Car Museum's Grand Opening Scheduled for June 2

The 165,000-square-foot facility next to the Tacoma Dome will offer a full slate of opening weekend activities.

The center of the automotive world is about to shift from Detroit to Tacoma in June.

LeMay - America's Car Museum, the large structure immediately south of the Tacoma Dome, is scheduled to hold its grand opening June 2. Many of us have spotted the museum from the highway and have wondered, "What's that going in there?"

That's like announcing Graceland's opening to Elvis fans, only the fans are instead classic-car buffs and gearheads. LeMay's opening has been highlighted by news organizations across the country.

In addition to the 500 or so cars that will be on display, including many from the record-breaking LeMay collection, the museum will feature a collector car center and a 3.5-acre show field.
