A one-of-a-kind vintage car show is rolling into the Kaáli Auto-Motor Museum in Dörgicse, near Lake Balaton, showcasing a jaw-dropping collection where global icons line up next to ultra-rare machines—some the only examples in Hungary. Every vehicle is operational and presented either in original, like-new condition or meticulously restored. The cars and motorcycles shine in period-appropriate rooms, bathed in gorgeous lighting and surrounded by authentic décor and accessories. Visits are by online reservation only, and all tours are guided.
Showpieces and rarities
Front and center: a 109-year-old FN Model 1950s.

Curated to perfection
Hungarian and international experts helped source the vehicles and compile background lore. Vehicle data plates were prepared by automotive historian Dr. Pál Négyesi, while restoration expert Péter Nagy left his mark throughout. The museum even stages a classic American diner set: vintage jukebox, Coca-Cola vending machine, iconic furniture—and period-correct cars parked out front for the full postcard vibe.
