The Museum and Collection were started as early as 1991 by Richard and Ethel Seiverling, with 5 Classic cars. A few years later, the first pedal car was added to the collection, and in the next 15 years the collection has changed to 3 Classic cars and as high as 162 pedal cars from all over the world. As the collection grew, so did the teddy bear "drivers", thanks to his wife Ethel. Richard personally showed the collection to thousands of people over the years, from small two to five people groups to full charter bus tours. Richard passed away in late 2006 and he is deeply missed by family and friends alike. In early 2006 the Museum went Online with this website and in 2008 the Museum was renamed to Seiverling Museum, LLC Car and Pedal Car Museum. With the changing of the Museum name the Seiverling Family was ready to start a new chapter in the legacy of this unique Museum that is continued to today.
