Worlds Rarest
Over the years, the Blackhawk Museum has been proud to showcase some of the world's most rare and unique automobiles. Our collection ranges from one-of-a-kind prototypes to breathtaking concept cars, providing visitors with a truly unparalleled experience. The centerpiece of our current display is the 1936 Bugatti Type 57s Surbaisse, a stunning roadster that has captured the imagination of car enthusiasts for generations. Despite being mentioned in numerous Bugatti books, the original 1936 model was unfortunately destroyed in its early life. The car on display at the museum, however, was meticulously constructed in the 1950s using an original Type 57 engine and chassis, and its attention to detail has led many to believe it is the original.
Classics
At the Blackhawk Museum, we are proud to showcase some of the most highly prized classic automobiles in the world. These vehicles offer a fascinating glimpse into the past and serve as rolling works of art and sculpture. One of the highlights of our collection is the 1931 Chrysler CG Imperial Roadster, a true masterpiece of automotive design. The stylish and distinctive lines of the CG-Series Chrysler Imperial were crafted by LeBaron, one of the preeminent design firms of the classic era. We invite you to visit our gallery and experience the beauty and elegance of this and many other classic cars that have captured the hearts of car enthusiasts for generations.
Modern Super Cars
The Don Williams Automobile Gallery boasts an impressive selection of top-tier supercars, characterized by their unparalleled power, elegant design, and indulgent amenities. Among the most sought-after, high-performing, and distinctive vehicles on the market, supercars often serve as the flagship offerings in a manufacturer's sports car lineup. These exceptional automobiles incorporate advanced technology and engineering techniques inspired by motorsports, delivering an unparalleled driving experience. The 2017 Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta, showcased in the accompanying image, is a prime example of the type of luxurious and powerful supercars that can be found in our collection.
