History

The Terrill Antique Car Museum in De Leon was started in the 1970s by Feltz Terrill and is run today by his son Feltz Jr., who also operates the adjacent Terrill Machine Shop supplying parts for antique cars. The museum displays a collection of restored vehicles including 18 drivable cars dating from 1901 to 1941, a 1915 REO Speedwagon, and about 90 vintage 1920s hubcaps. Its most notable piece is a rare steam-powered 1901 Coffin carriage that spent much of its life in the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit before Feltz Terrill brought it to De Leon; admission is free.
