Located in the Port of Gold Beach in Gold Beach, Oregon, Sheriff John's Classic Car and Doll Museum was the rival of all museums anywhere.

Featuring beautiful vehicles from 1901 to 1972 placed in elaborate and historically accurate settings, many families found this museum to be entertaining and educational. 

Carol's Artist Doll collection played a large part in the museum with characters placed either behind glass, in the classic car historic settings, in the Old Town Movie Theater (featuring real old classics), or in the Gift Shoppe.  This collection of Artist Dolls was the largest collection available for public viewing on the west coast.  Artist Dolls are a 'doll connoisseur' must see!

Summer of 2008 marks the ninth year (eighth season) that Sheriff John's Classic Car Museum has been thrilling car and doll enthusiasts.  Sadly, one of the founders of the museum, Carol Gillespie wife to Sheriff John Gillespie, passed away in 2007.  The 2008 season was dedicated to the memory of Carol Gillespie and was also the final summer that the museum was open.

The vehicles, dolls, and memorabilia are being liquidated.  If you are interested in any of the museum items, please contact John at 541-247-8067 or 541-698-6190 (cell).  You may find a listing of the cars available for sale here.

Sheriff John and Carol Gillespie have been pleased to make their collection available for display.  The collection has been their passion and their pleasure for many years.  We hope you had an opportunity to visit and view this marvelous collection!

Sheriff John thanks you for your patronage
over the years and bids you a fond farewell!
