Floyd Garrett's Muscle Car Museum is in SEVIERVILLE, and it publishes here with nine films. Fortunately the first film is the right one to lead with: Dennis Gage of My Classic Car walks the museum with Floyd Garrett himself. Garrett, a North Florida native, picked Sevierville for its car-show scene, and at filming the museum held 93 cars totaling some 30,000 horsepower — 'enough to pull the state of Tennessee out of the Union,' as one customer joked to him.

The highlight is a 1964 Ford Thunderbolt lightweight — fiberglass panels and Lexan glass over a 427 FE rated at 425 horsepower — the kind of factory drag car that anchors a collection rather than decorates it. The tour treats the room as Garrett built it: a working enthusiast's museum, not a showroom.
Why it started at one film
At first publish, the only other long-form candidate the wave found was a different museum entirely — the American Muscle Car Museum in Melbourne, Florida — and it was rejected rather than mislabeled. Pages here do not pad. The top-up pass has since landed: eight more full tours of Garrett's museum now follow the Gage film on this page.

Sevierville's car culture is the context: the museum sits in the town that hosts the area's big car-show weekends, chosen by its founder for exactly that reason. The film is the visit, until you make your own.
