Virtual car museums. Need your advice!

Hey guys.

I've just finished my new project. This is the website where you can check virtual tours of classic cars museums all over the world. Now I'm checking interest to them and I want to ask members of AACA society to test it and give me some feedback. I'm sure this will be very interesting for you and now we have virtual museums from UAE, China, Germany, Italy, Spain, Russia and other countries. More than 30 museums are finished, and 30 more will be finished till the end of the year. Please check https://360carmuseum.com/en . I'm waiting for a feedback from your. Thanks for help.

I will be glad to be the first to respond. When I saw the post my adrenalin began pumping. When I went to the site, I got an error on trying to load it. I overcame that on the second try, only to find it was the Italian museum was PAY PER VIEW. I tried another museum. It too gave me an error on initial load. Worked on the second try. Also required payment.

Not anxious/willing to pay. Do not know how much a Euro is, in comparison to USD. Not inclined to do the research to find out.

Noticed no U.S. museums on the site.

What little I saw looked good, will give you that. A nice job.

I watched a few of them (no charge) but I think that I would rather see still photos,as the cars were disfigured with the revolving camera and you could not enjoy the beauty of the graceful lines .

Thank you for your review. What kind of error did you met? What do you think about the price of visiting? It is from 1 to 4 USD and you get the museum forever. So you can see it many times.

Interesting concept and for those of us who do not travel the world it could be a great way to see these collections. I too was bothered by the camera as it distorts the cars and eventually was giving me a headache. I love the concept though.

Consider providing a way, if you haven't already,

to search for a specific make of car; or year and

make of car; or year and make and model of car.

The search should be within a particular museum,

and also within all the museums you cover.

For example, if I am writing an article on an 1897 Benz,

I'd like to know if a museum has one. And I might like

to get a copy of that picture for our AACA newsletter.

I know you were trying to make the video more interesting

with the "rotational" feature, but I agree that some other

presentation is needed.

Myself, I wouldn't pay 3 euros ($3 to $4) to look at

pictures on a computer; but perhaps others might.

Thanks, John and Steve. John, how much would you pay for visit? Which will be comfortable for you?

P.S. It's not actually pictures, it is a small encyclopedia with virtual visit of a museum.

Don Hoke in Dallas Texas is sponsering the "Virtual Steam Car Museum"

He's been scanning in """virtually [haha] tons of files on Stanley,,,found in Australia,!!

There is also a listing of all pre 1915 Packards,aranged by vin no,,Very helpful to

reserch Packards,,,Better 'n a hour at Rod Blood's barn @92Prince st,,

Thank you for your review. What kind of error did you met? What do you think about the price of visiting? It is from 1 to 4 USD and you get the museum forever. So you can see it many times.

Have you got written permission from those real musemns to charge for viewing??

Sure, a part of money we send to the museums owners

2 new museums are FREE now - Shanghai Classic Cars museum and Porsche museum in Gmund, Austria. Hope you like it. Waiting for your comments.

Might be useful to others but not me. In order to view the free museums I have to log in using my Facebook account which I am not willing to do (do not want to give anyone access to my account). Also I hesitate to submit payment to most online businesses, especially overseas. Most any car in the world can easily be seen on Google or youtube so I don't see myself paying to view them in a museum unless in person. Good luck with the website as I am sure there are many people int he world that will love what you have developed.

I clicked on the link for the Porsche Museum,

but all the text on the website was in Russian.

I don't even know the Cyrillic alphabet!

And I don't have a Facebook account, nor do I

plan to have one.

Once you click on the link take a look at your address bar. Where it says "rn" change that to "en" and then it will be in English.

Kind of like " Pay per View " television, is it not ? Wayne

Some updates. First of all three new museums, 2 of 3 are free to visit. So welcome everybody:

1. Al Serkal Classic Cars Private Museum in UAE - https://360carmuseum.com/ru/museum/38

2. Oldtimer Gallery 2015 in Moscow - the biggest classic car show in Russia - https://360carmuseum.com/ru/museum/37

3. Russian tractor museum - the only museum of this kind in Russia - https://360carmuseum.com/ru/museum/39

The second update is the payment option. Now the full access to all museums costs only 2 USD / month.

I want to see your feedback about that. Thanks!
