This is basically Subaru of America’s “Bat Cave.” Just like Batman’s lair, it’s hidden and full of goodies. It’s a plain building that could be anything — maybe a factory or warehouse. But, inside Subaru’s Bat Cave is a collection of rare and unique cars that isn’t accessible to the public or even most media, but marks the company’s history both here and outside of the U.S.
Subaru’s American history isn’t as well-known as some other manufacturer’s story. But, Subaru of America was originally founded by Harvey Lamm and Malcolm Bricklin in 1968. It operated as a fully independent distributor of Subaru vehicles until 1990, when it became a wholly owned subsidiary of Fuji Heavy Industries, which became Subaru Corporation in 2016. Its private collection is a great way to preserve its history and legacy — and its Legacy sedan and wagon — here in the States.
