Caramulo Museum

The Caramulo Museum is the car museum that I visited last year (2008). Many of the cars there have a direct link to the history of Portugal. Its collection was started by Joao de Lacerda in 1955 when he purchased a 1925 Ford. Since then, he has increased his collection massively, leading to the Museum of Caramulo as we see it today. The Museum has a permanent display of 30 motorcycles and 65 cars representing 36 brands in 7 countries. The oldest is a 1886 Benz and the most recent is a Porsche. Included among the display are a Peugeot 1899, Bugatti, Mercedes armored Cadillac, Rolls-Royce, etc.. Well worth visiting if you are in the Sierra de Caramulo.
