Before being repurposed as a car museum and restaurant, the property's former gas station also served as Weatherford's Greyhound bus station.[8] The establishment opened to the public in early 2015.[9] Vintage Car Museum and Event CenterOn August 4, 2016, the companion Vintage Car Museum and Event Center opened one block west of Vintage Grill & Car Museum, at 100 Fort Worth Highway.[23] The Museum and Event Center is located in the {{Convert|13,000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} Hobson Building, which allows Moncrief to display more of his car collection, which is curated by Shana Akins.[9][23] The Event Center walls are the original 1886 rock walls while the building was still a livery stable and can accommodate over 200 people.[10] GalleryReferences1. ^1 2 3 4 {{Cite web|url=http://vintagegrillandmuseum.com/about/|title=About|publisher=Vintage Grill & Car Museum|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170608070541/http://vintagegrillandmuseum.com/about/|archive-date=2017-06-08|dead-url=yes|access-date=May 15, 2017|df=}} 2. ^{{Cite journal|date=March 24, 2015|title=Vintage Grill & Car Museum|url=http://www.texasmonthly.com/restaurant/vintage-grill-car-museum/|journal=Texas Monthly}}{{dead link|date=February 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 3. ^1 {{Cite news|url=http://www.fwtx.com/articles/fwtxmag/cover-story/15-best-new-restaurants/vintage-grill-weatherford|title=Vintage Grill Weatherford|last=Dabney|first=Courtney|date=|work=Fort Worth Magazine|access-date=May 15, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160320112202/http://www.fwtx.com/articles/fwtxmag/cover-story/15-best-new-restaurants/vintage-grill-weatherford|archive-date=2016-03-20|dead-url=yes|df=}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.traveltexas.com/attractions/vintage-grill-and-car-museum-weatherford|title=Vintage Grill & Car Museum|website=TravelTexas|publisher=Office of the Governor, Economic Development and Tourism|access-date=May 15, 2017}} 5. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.dfw.com/2015/04/01/982084/restaurant-review-vintage-grill.html|title=Restaurant review: Vintage Grill & Car Museum in Weatherford|last=Mayhew|first=Malcolm|date=April 1, 2015|work=|access-date=May 15, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160808162832/http://www.dfw.com/2015/04/01/982084/restaurant-review-vintage-grill.html|archive-date=2016-08-08|dead-url=yes|publisher=DFW.com|df=}} 6. ^1 2 {{Cite news|url=http://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/community/weatherford-star-telegram/wt-news/article79524112.html|title=Classic car museum revving up for enthusiast enjoyment|last=Winter|first=Lance|date=May 24, 2016|work=Fort Worth Star-Telegram|access-date=May 15, 2017}} 7. ^1 2 3 {{Cite news|url=http://www.weatherforddemocrat.com/news/aledo_extra/vintage-grill-and-car-museum/article_54587b54-c758-11e4-b5e3-2f0ea5997c67.html|title=Vintage Grill and Car Museum|date=March 10, 2015|work=Weatherford Democrat|access-date=May 15, 2017}} 8. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.parkercountyheritagesociety.com/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=62524&module_id=241932|title=Vintage Grill & Car Museum|publisher=Parker County Heritage Society|access-date=May 15, 2017}} 9. ^1 2 3 4 {{Cite news|url=http://www.texashighways.com/food-drink/item/8290-wheels-and-meals-vintage-grill-car-museum-weatherford|title=Wheels and Meals: Vintage Grill & Car Museum in Weatherford|last=Blok|first=Celestina|date=October 2016|work=Texas Highways|access-date=May 15, 2017}} 10. ^1 2 {{Cite news|url=http://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/community/weatherford-star-telegram/wt-news/article93220047.html|title=Vintage Car Museum grand opening showcases automobiles from bygone eras|date=August 2, 2016|work=Fort Worth Star-Telegram|access-date=May 15, 2017}} External links{{Commons category-inline|Vintage Grill & Car Museum}}
