The Mount Dora Museum of Speed opened for business in 2001 to adults only and was located on North Highland Street. In 2015, it was named Mount Dora's number-one attraction by [[Tripadvisor]] for the third year in a row. The museum displayed muscle cars, "pro cars", foreign cars, and a more than 45-year-old collection of "automobilia" (auto antiques). The staff displayed 10 to 12 of their personal cars, and 12 to 15 cars were on sale at most times. The Mount Dora Museum of Speed closed in July 2019, and was to become a bike shop.<ref>{{Cite web|title = THE MUSEUM|url = http://www.classicdreamcars.com/THEMUSEUM.html|website = classicdreamcars.com|access-date = November 28, 2015}}</ref>
