America’s Car Collection -
Flying A Garage

America’s Car Collection - Flying A Garage is located at the eastern end of Winnemucca near the Interstate 80 onramp. This project was brought to the community by a former Winnemucca resident, Ralph Whitworth, and current resident Dave Bengochea. The two men graduated from Lowry High School in Winnemucca.

Currently constructed on the property is the Flying A Garage which is a 6,600-square-foot climate controlled state of the art restoration shop. The Flying A Garage is fit with the latest equipment and facilities, making it capable of hosting “concourse” quality restoration workmanship. Its mission is to return some of America’s coolest and historically important custom, race and classic cars to their former glory.

Eventually, Whitworth and Bengochea hope to complete a world class automobile museum.

During the summer, America’s Car Collection – Flying A Garage and the Chamber of Commerce hosts Kruise Night on Bridge Street in Winnemucca the second Thursday of each month. Kruise Night is a community event, where automobiles are on display and street vendors cater to the crowd. For more information on America’s Car Collection call (775) 625-3555.
