The Orlando Auto Museum, located at Dezerland Park, is the home to thousands of celebrity, military, historical and movie vehicles.

Guests to the museum, located along International Drive, can walk through the facility at their own pace and see in person 2,000 cars.

The collection is vast, unique and quirky and includes everything from a Scooby Doo Mystery Machine to a 1914 Ford coup.

Jonnattan Morales, operations museum manager for Dezerland, believes this is one of the most amazing car collections in the world.

One of his favorite custom cars is used in “The League of Extraordinary Gentleman” starring Sean Connery.

“We are looking at a masterpiece. As you can see, all this aluminum, including the outside, is hand carved,” said Morales.

Morales oversees and maintains around 2,000 vehicles and another 1,000 not viewed by the public.

There are 17 different car exhibits, including one of the largest and most valued collections of cars from a variety of James Bond movies.

One Bond car, from the movie “You Only Live Twice,” is valued at $41 million and you can also check out an Aston Martin DB5 from the film “Goldfinger,” still with all the gadgets, including the ejection seat.

“So, seeing these cars in the flesh, being able to handle them and take care of them — this is my favorite part about doing my job,” said Morales.

Another fun experience while visiting the museum is the VIP tour, where guests can sit in some of the movie vehicles, like the Batmobile, Ghostbusters station wagon or a DeLorean from “Back to the Future.” The tour costs an extra $15 per person.

The entire collection is owned by billionaire Michael Dezer, also renowned for his South Florida properties. He visits Dezerland nearly every week.

The park is open seven days a week, located near I-Drive.

The auto museum is $31.90 for adults, children ages 4 through 12 cost $22.31, and seniors cost $25.51.

Children 3 and under are free and parking is also free.
