The Cité de l'Automobile, the National Motor Museum, is located in Mulhouse, France. It grew out of the private collection of the Schlumpf brothers, textile magnates. The museum displays about 400 cars, from the late 19th century to the present, including dozens of Bugattis, among them the extremely rare 'Royale' series, as well as classics from Rolls-Royce, Mercedes-Benz and Ferrari. Nearby is 'Cité du Train,' one of Europe's largest railway museums. From Basel SBB station, take a train for about 25 minutes to Mulhouse, then a tram to reach the museum. It makes a good day trip.
