Mr. Protsman’s Antique Auto Museum at Stone Mountain Park will be closing soon. The Stone Mountain Memorial Association (SMMA) states that Mr. Protsman is “ready to move on to other ventures…”. An auction will be held March 22-23, 2009 to liquidate his remaining inventory. Some of the antiques cars and memorabilia have already been sold to private investors.

The Antique Car Museum was opened in 1963 by Tommy Protsman to showcase his private collection of antiques and cars. The museum had housed forty antique cars and over 4000 pieces of memorabilia. The museum included such rare cars as a 1948 Tucker and a 1928 Martin. Car Collector Magazine voted the museum one of the top ten car museums with fifty cars or less.
