The antique car collection at the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum is, quite simply, second to none. Since 2007, Fairbanks entrepreneur Tim Cerny has been lovingly and meticulously building the nearly 100-vehicle collection, carefully selecting each one for its historical significance, technological innovations or rarity. These magnificent automobiles exemplify some of the most fascinating developments in U.S. automotive history from the late 1800s through just prior to World War II.
When it comes to extremely rare finds, the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum is the only place where you can see a Compound, an Argonne, an Argo Limousine, a Columbia Mark XIX or a McFarlan Type 125, all of which are the last of their kind in the world. Our Sheldon, Heine-Velox Victoria automobile and Hay Motor Vehicle are the only models of their kind ever built.
Several of Alaska's earliest cars are also on display, including the Territory's very first automobile - hand built in 1905 by a man who had never seen a car before!
Most remarkably, all but three of the autos in the collection are operable and can be seen motoring on the 105-acre grounds of the Wedgewood Resort during the summer – making the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum a true "living museum."
