Presidential Car Museum

While shopping for plants at the Quezon City Memorial Circle, we stumbled upon a delightful surprise—the Presidential Car Museum. This hidden gem showcases the National Historical Commission of the Philippines’ collection of vehicles used by former Presidents, meticulously restored to their original glory. Given its inauguration on August 19, 2018, these historic cars were previously stored in a private warehouse in Pampanga. A visit to this museum is definitely worth your time.

Here are the cars exhibited at the museum:

*1924 Packard Single Six Touring Model 233 used by President Emilio Aguinaldo*

A karwahe owned by the family of León Apacible, a member of the commission that drafted the Malolos Constitution.

*1935 Cadillac V-16 used by President Manuel Quezon as his presidential car and soon turned over to General Douglas MacArthur in 1937.*

*1937 Chrysler Airflow Custom Imperial CW used by President Manuel L. Quezon.*

The historic vehicle of President Quezon underwent restoration both in 1978 and 2009, coinciding with Quezon’s 131st birth anniversary celebration. Initially, it was showcased at the replica house of Doña Aurora Quezon in Baler, Aurora.
