The Dezer collection of the Miami Auto Museum owes it’s name to Michael Dezer, a real estate agent who began to collect vehicles as an adolescent. Today his collection also includes motorcycles (he has one of the largest collections of Vespa scooters in the world) as well as helicopters, planes, and submarines.

The Miami Auto Museum exhibits all types of automobiles: classics, military, and electric. But of course the most popular are those exhibited in the “Hollywood Cars of the Stars” gallery. Here you can see around 80 cars that were shown in movies and television programs from every era, from: The Dukes of Hazzard, Miami Vice, Knight Rider, Starsky & Hutch, The Munsters, y films como The Great Race, Back to the Future, Grease, Harry Potter, and Ghostbusters.

But of course the star of the collection is the Aston Martin sports car that Sean Connery drove in the 1964 film "Goldfinger".
