Hidden Treasure

Explore The Brothers Collection and its 600+ vintage vehicles during annual toy drive on December 3

It is not publicized. There is no street signage. And its existence is generally only known amongst the highly engaged car enthusiasts. But Salem is home to one of the most comprehensive and impressive car collections in the world.

Nestled in a nondescript warehouse spanning over 100,000 square feet, The Brothers Collection features more than 600 collectible vehicles. From the outside, you would never know, but once you step through the doors, the space opens into a sprawling museum, documenting and sharing a slice of history. Neatly organized rows of cars polished to perfection form an artistic labyrinth-like display offering visitors the opportunity to admire and enjoy.

Even for those with little interest, it is a wondrous sight, yet one only open to the public during special events, such as the collection’s annual toy drive.

Curious? You are in luck. Get a peek at this incredible assembly during the Brothers Collection Toy Drive 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Dec 3. The museum will be open by ticketed reservation costing $10, plus one new, unwrapped toy.

Toys and funds will be donated to Project Joy, a nonprofit organization that aims “to help all foster, adoptive, guardianship and relative care families. [Its] hope is to help relieve the financial burden for these families and most importantly for these kids to know that they matter, are loved for who they are and to put a smile on their faces.”

In 2022, its inaugural year, 4,126 toys and more than $30,000 were collected for Project Joy.
