Zoinks! The National Automobile Museum is thrilled to announce the arrival of one of pop culture’s most recognizable vehicles—the iconic Mystery Machine—now on display for a limited time only.
This special exhibit invites guests to experience the Mystery Machine up close, complete with Shaggy’s playful, one-of-a-kind décor. Bright, bold, and bursting with nostalgia, this far-out van is guaranteed to stop visitors in their tracks and transport them straight into the world of Saturday morning cartoons.
“This is pure fun and nostalgia,” said Phil MacDougall, President of the Museum. “From Shaggy’s décor to the chance for members to step inside and take photos, this limited-time display is all about creating joyful memories—while also giving back to the community.”
The Museum also proudly recognizes John Forster, the creative force behind this incredible recreation.
“John didn’t just recreate an icon—he brought it to life,” MacDougall added. “The details, the personality, the humor—it feels like the Mystery Machine just pulled up to the Museum ready to solve a case. It’s impossible not to smile when you see it.”
Fans of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! and pop culture enthusiasts alike will love seeing this legendary van in person. Whether you grew up watching Scooby and the gang chase ghosts or you’re introducing a new generation to the fun, this exhibit offers a unique blend of automotive creativity and timeless entertainment.
