The Hays Antique Truck Museum
contains one of the largest collections of
antique trucks in the United States. The
museum was formally established in 1982 by
Mr. A.W. Hays, a pioneer and leading figure
in the California trucking industry.
Retired after fifty years in the trucking
business, with "nothing to do," this active
76 year old man began to collect and restore
the old trucks you see at the museum today.
The museum's collection
includes over 100 different makes of old
trucks, representing 94 different
manufacturers such as Fageol, Freightliner,
Mack, Sterling, Oshkosh, Peterbilt, and the
one and only 1916 Breeding Steam Truck.
Also on display are trailers, industrial
powerplants, tools, equipment, and trucking
memorabilia. The museum attracts visitors
from around the world and serves as an
educational resource for schools and truck
historians.
