There are several classic car museums in South Carolina that cater to very different genres of the classic car enthusiast. The Darlington Raceway Stock Car Museum in Darlington, SC pays tribute to historic NASCAR race cars and drivers. The BMW Zentrum near Spartanburg SC features BMW vehicles from the past and gives a glimpse into the future. The Wheels Of Yesteryear Museum in Myrtle Beach showcases classic American muscle cars.

The Darlington Raceway Stock Car Museum started life as the Joe Weatherly Stock Car Museum in memory of the famous driver that won there in 1960 and 1963, and was killed in an accident at Riverside speedway in 1964. The museum was dedicated in May of 1965, and the name was changed following a major renovation and expansion in 2003. The museum of course features many cars with NASCAR historical significance, including the "winningest car in stock car history", a 1956 Ford Convertible that won a total of twenty-five races that year, Richard Petty's 1967 Plymouth that won ten races in the 1967 season, and the 1991 Lumina that Darrell Waltrip rolled eight times in one of the worst crashes in NASCAR history. The museum has a number of engines on display, including an example of the famous Chrysler Hemi that dominated many races in the late 1960s and early 1970s. There are many interactive displays, and even an impression of Dale Earnhardt's hands in concrete. The Darlington Raceway Stock Car Museum is a must-see for any NASCAR fan. (843) 395 - 8821

The BMW Zentrum has a very different focus. It is a snapshot of BMW history, from the very beginning of the company to where they are today. Located beside the only BMW manufacturing plant in the United States, the museum is 20,000 square feet of historic cars and motorcycles, aircraft engines, and interactive displays. It features the BMW Isetta "Bubble Car", BMW race cars, a James Bond movie car, a virtual plant tour in the state-of-the-art video-production theater with surround sound, and a café. You can view an example of one of the first BMW automobiles ever produced, the BMW Dixie, as well as a display of the company's work with hydrogen fueled cars. Guided tours of the manufacturing plant are normally available by reservation, but as of this writing the plant tours have been temporarily suspended. (864) 989-5297

The Wheels Of Yesteryear Museum just opened in September 2009 and features over 45 fully restored automobiles from the collection of Paul Cummings. The cars are displayed on a rotating basis from his 100-plus car collection of primarily Mopar muscle cars, with a few classic GM, Ford and AMC vehicles thrown in to the mix just for fun. The museum displays examples of the famous Mopar winged cars and nostalgia drag racers, too. (843) 903 - 4774

Sema: Cars Gone Wild

At this year’s Specialty Equipment Market Association Show, automakers and car parts manufacturers will flaunt their hottest products. And one of the automakers that intend to grab the limelight is Auburn Hills-based Chrysler LLC. with a bunch of wild cars.

The SEMA show, which will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center, attracts more than 100,000 industry leaders from over 100 countries. Last year, the show drew over 50,000 domestic and international buyers through two million square feet of exhibits. The displays are segmented into 11 sections, and a New Products Showcase features more than 2,000 newly launched parts, tools and components, the organization said.

Most minivans may not call the SEMA show home, but Chrysler designers have created a family hauler worthy of the license plate DBL-DWN. The Black Jack, one of eight pimped-out rides from Chrysler, will introduce at the SEMA show next week complete with a card room and a large screen TV, reported the Detroit News. Its smoky subtle exterior gives way to garish sin City’s showroom inside, where a lighted table and floor sparkle over the suede and leather interior.

"I found inspiration in those old lounges and bars," said the minivan's designer Marc Reisen. "We put 10 to 15 coats of paint on here before we knew we got it just right.”

Underneath the paint is an orange pin stripe that illuminates under the bright light that spells out "Black Jack" on the hood. It is extreme, fun and cuts to the point of how carmakers showcase vehicles at SEMA. Take the ordinary and make them extra outrageous, said Ralph Gilles, the vice president of Jeep/truck design.

"Under every SEMA vehicle there is an underlying truth," Gilles said. "Sometimes we're trying to stimulate interest in Mopar (Chrysler's aftermarket parts division); other times we're trying to test the waters and show people (a vehicle's) potential" through radical design.

Gilles said that the Dodge Ram BFT is an example of an extreme truck with real-world potential. "A savvy truck guy can look past the cosmetic parts and see a truck with a 10-foot bed," he said.

Designer Scott Krugger said that almost everything on the BFT, which stands for Built For Towing, is already factory-produced. The design team put a regular cab on a 160-inch heavy duty frame. They also used the metal from a Mega Cab's doors to extend the bed to 10 feet, he added.

All of Chrysler's SEMA vehicles are built by the Mopar Underground design team. The team consists of ultimate enthusiasts dream up and creates just about anything on wheels.

Included in this year’s Chrysler's SEMA lineup are the two-door Jeep Wrangler JT with a 5-foot bed, Jeep Wrangler Ultimate equipped with a 392-cubic-inch Hemi crate engine and an overhauled interior, Jeep Wrangler All Access premium interior vehicle with excellent off-road capabilities and 35-inch tires, and minivan racer Dodge Caravan R/T with a spoiler, hood scoop and 20-inch tires.

Another entry from the maker of the Dodge air filter is the Avenger Tuner Stormtrooper which includes a 4-liter V-6 for added power and Internet connectivity for all four passengers.
