Jeff and Darla Hollansworth

Jeff and Darla Hollansworth are the devoted owners and curators of Holly Classics, a beloved Classic Car and Motorcycle Museum built on generations of passion. Their love for two- and four-wheeled machines was inspired by the family patriarch, John Hollansworth Sr., whose enthusiasm for classic vehicles laid the foundation for the museum. For nearly 30 years, Holly Classics has been a treasured attraction in Hot Springs Village, welcoming visitors from across Arkansas and around the world.

John And Jane Hollansworth

John Hollansworth, along with his wife Jane, infused the museum with energy, creativity, and a deep appreciation for automotive history. Their early vision brought classic autos and motorcycles together while also supporting charities, car clubs, and community events. After John Sr.’s passing in 2023, Jeff and Darla honored his legacy by reimagining the experience, expanding the collection, and adding new layers of nostalgia and multi-media excitement that continue to define this remarkable Classic Car and Motorcycle Museum today.

Our Mission

Holly Classics is designed as an Educational Car Museum for Auto Enthusiasts, offering a place where guests of all ages can explore the history of transportation, the pursuit of speed, and the fascinating personalities behind these gas-powered machines. “Every significant entry in the museum has a story behind it, and those stories make Holly Classics come alive,” said Jeff Hollansworth.

Here, visitors discover accounts of inventors who carved their names into history, stories of perseverance and personal triumph, and remarkable narratives of women who met extraordinary challenges and earned their place in the history books. These stories are the heartbeat of our Classic Car and Motorcycle Museum, breathing life into every vehicle on display.

Meet Jeff And Darla Hollansworth

Having lived in Hot Springs Village for over 20 years, Jeff and Darla lovingly say they have found “paradise.” Their connection to the community is reflected in their work at RE/MAX of HSV, where they have helped hundreds of families find homes in this beautiful, peaceful corner of Arkansas. Active in their church and prison ministry, Jeff and Darla place great importance on faith, family, and love for their country.

An unexpected detail many visitors enjoy learning is that this energetic couple rides a tandem bicycle on both road and mountain trails. They log hundreds of miles each year, exploring Arkansas and destinations around the world. Jeff and Darla also have two wonderful married daughters and son in laws, all graduates of the University of Arkansas; each pursuing meaningful careers and building families of their own. Their story, like the museum itself, is filled with dedication, adventure, and a shared love for the legacy behind this extraordinary Classic Car and Motorcycle Museum.
