Starting with a love for collecting wooden toy cars during his childhood, Pak Jos, the owner of "Kebon Vintage Cars," soon turned his passion into a hobby filled with enthusiasm when he finally bought his first vintage car in 1996. Since then, he has been collecting antiques and unique vintage cars in his private garage to fulfill his childhood dream.
In 2019, Pak Jos finally realized his lifelong dream by opening an antique car museum with the hope of sharing his love for antique cars and preserving the attraction and diversity of tourist destinations in Bali.
Pak Jos is currently an advisor to the Indonesian Vintage Car Fans Association (PPMKI) in Bali and is dedicated to preserving antique cars beautifully while keeping the community strong and cohesive.
Kebon exhibits more than 100 antique cars from around the world, ranging from pre-war era cars to well-known brands such as Chevrolet, Cadillac, Dodge, Pontiac, Morgan, Mercury, Plymouth, Hudson, Fiat, Mini Cooper, and many more.
Some of Indonesia's historical cars are also showcased, such as the 1948 Plymouth that belonged to the first lady of Indonesia (Soekarno's wife) - Ibu Fatmawati.
The restoration team requires a lot of attention and effort to restore and maintain each vehicle to near-original specifications, and most of the cars are still operational. Visitors can rent them for their event needs.
It is our hope that our diverse collection will offer our audience a panoramic view into the rich automotive heritage that cannot be found elsewhere in Bali.
