Classic Car Museum

2024 VerHage Car Show - Click for more information

The VerHage collection began in 1969 when a '29 Plymouth was traded in on a new ’69 Plymouth Fury III convertible at our then Chrysler Plymouth franchised dealership. The ensuing MOPARS added in the early years were stored in the garages of various rental properties owned by Lloyd VerHage near the dealership. In 1982, the collection outgrew this arrangement and a new 50' by 64' metal pole building was built that held a dozen cars comfortably along with some space for detailing and reconditioning. By 1990, the VerHage collection had outgrown this structure, requiring some storage in other locations as the collection continued to expand. The larger museum was built in early 2007 to display the collection of 30 plus MOPARS and in 2014 it was sold to Holland BPW for their new energy park. In late 2014, VerHage expanded the original 50’ by 64' pole building to 100' by 64' to accommodate the 27+ MOPARS in the collection. In early spring 2015, the finishing touches on the museum exterior were completed and a ribbon cutting took place with the West Coast Chamber of Commerce.

The VerHage MOPAR Museum car show event has had a variety of special guests and vehicles over the years including Galen Govier in 2012 and the Silver Bullet ’67 GTX of Jimmy Addison (owned by Harold Sullivan) in 2005. In March of 2006, VerHage sold a vehicle from their collection, a ’34 Air Flow CX, to comedian Jay Leno that now is on display in Jay Leno’s garage. See www.JayLenosGarage.com for more info. In 2018, the show featured Futureliner #10 on display that was restored locally in Beaverdam, MI
