The Moore Auto Classic Museum is an automotive museum located at the offices of the Moore Oil Company at 1800 Center Point Parkway in Center Point. It was created in 1973 by Ron and Liz Moore as a showcase for their growing collection of restored automobiles, now numbering more than 80. Their son, Joey Moore, now maintains the collection and operates the museum, which is open by appointment.

The collection, which now includes more than 80 vehicles, began with a 1929 Cadillac convertible coupe that Ron bought for his wife in the 1950s. She had it restored and became the first woman to win a grand national award from the Antique Automobile Club of America. The collection is displayed in a large warehouse decorated with vintage oil company memorabilia, with a reconstructed filling station facade.

The Moores have hosted several fund-raisers at the museum, and have lent cars out for events and film productions, including The Verne Miller Story.
