About the Hall

Honoring the Past and Shaping the Future

The Automotive Hall of Fame was established in 1939, to perpetuate the accomplishments of the early automotive pioneers. Called the “Automobile Old Timers,” the group was dedicated to honoring automotive innovators from all parts of the worldwide automotive industry.
