The Automobile Production Museum (Autombilbaumuseum) was founded in 1967. Since 1994 it has its home in the rooms of the Wartburg Sparkasse´s Administration building at the street named Rennbahn. A select series beginning with the Wartburg Motor Carriage (1899) and ending with the Wartburg 1.3 in the early 1990s documents over 100 year tradition of automobile production in Eisenach. Sportscars, Prototypes, and special variations of the cars produced in Eisenach are being prepared for the expansion of the existing exhibition

"History on wheels" this is the motto of Automuseum Melle which was opened in 1997. It features over 200 historic vehicles.

Autohaus Hertrampf has been around for 90 years as a car dealer. Today it represents Renault. Adjacent to the showroom there's a museum with a lot of different cars - from a Ford Model T to a Soviet Tschaika and motorcycles.

"As a brand-independent museum, our permanent exhibition is based on the collection of both the museum’s founders. Unique automobiles from the Volkswagen and Porsche brands are on display, as well as a variety of classics, vintage cars, vintage commercial vehicles and rare models from other brands". There are temporary exhibitions as well

The Volkswagen AutoMuseum is situated near the Volkswagen factory where the latest Volkswagen models are produced. On an exhibition space covering some 5,000 square metres, a total of 130 vehicles provide a fascinating insight into the product history of Volkswagen. Among the main exhibits are many rare concept vehicles, prototypes and one-off models. This is a relatively down-to-earth museum, compared to the nearby AutoStadt complex, but for Volkswagen fans it is like a shrine.

This museum was opened in Spring, 2017 featuring "interesting exhibits and scenes from almost every decade" but focusing on the period between the 1960s and 1980s, including the VW Golf GTi, Opel Manta, Porsche Targa etc.
