I don't always get to things as quickly, or as organized as I originally planned to, and these murals are a perfect example of that! So, without further ado, let's talk about the Midwest Dream Car Collection murals! Located on the east and northeast sides of the building, these fantastic murals are huge and most of them can easily be seen from Seth Childs Rd in Manhattan, KS.

Opened in 2019 by some of Manhattan's best, Ward and Brenda Morgan. The Midwest Dream Car Collection is a stunning showcase of cars ranging from classics to present-day vehicles and a little bit of everything in between!

For their mural, it only seems fitting that part of the mural would depict a mix of vehicles you will find inside the Midwest Dream Car Collection. On the northeast corner of the building, you will find another part of the mural that is of an old service station named, Stan's.

Painted by the one and only Mindy Allen from Mindy's Murals in 2023, this mural is a classic, pun intended! Also, please notice the image below. The murals throughout town are funded in a variety of ways. This mural was a project with the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation and the Deihl Foundation Community Arts Grant.
