A.J. Watson Display

Visit the Museum of American Speed on Friday, March 1st for the first public viewing of our new A.J. Watson Garage display!

The “Wizard of Indy” is an apt title for the master car builder, A.J. Watson. The famed Watson Roadsters are revered today as the most beautiful cars in Speedway history. They were as effective as they were aesthetic and held unprecedented success at the Indy 500. Learn more about A.J. Watson when you visit the A.J. Watson Garage display at the Museum of American Speed.
The A.J. Watson display is located on the first floor in our Open Wheel Gallery and will be permanently on display in the Museum.
