Blackhawk Museum

The Blackhawk Museum (founded 1988) is a museum in Blackhawk, California, best known for its significant collection of classic cars.

The museum houses about ninety classic cars. It also houses a display showcasing the work of the Wheelchair Foundation [1]. The facility is located within the Blackhawk Plaza outdoors shopping mall. The museum is an affiliate through the Smithsonian Affiliations program.[2]

The museum was founded by local real estate developer Ken Behring; it was originally known as the Behring Auto Museum, and later, the Blackhawk Automotive Museum.

One of the museum's most unusual features is a 1924 Hispano-Suiza H6C made entirely of tulipwood.[3] It also houses a 1962 John F. Kennedy limousine and a Chinese Hongqi.
