About the Vintage Auto HeritageFoundation In 1996 John F. Bookout formed the Vintage Auto Heritage Foundation in order to acquire unique, classic automobiles for restoration, preservation, and display to the general public. The initial collection of cars was donated to the Foundation by the founder but the Foundation may acquire (by gift or purchase) antique cars from other sources as well as display other significant cars on loan to the Foundation. The primary purpose of the Foundation is to preserve the historical significance of certain classic automobiles and to educate the general public about the accomplishments and achievements of these marques to the automobile industry. To further its exempt educational purpose, the Foundation exhibits its automobiles at a museum in Houston, TX which is open by appointment to the general public in a manner consistent with its available resources. Sources of support include donations and admission fees. In addition, the Foundation will showcase its collection at a variety of other charitable museums through its program of loaning cars for display at such institutions. Finally, in collaboration with The Maserati Club, the Foundation educates the public and informs them of the museum's existence via the "virtual museum" established here at this Internet site. Through an ongoing series of historical articles and photographs this work will continue to growand be available for your viewing 24 hours a day.
