Don’t pass the salt-
Stop-worthy museum opens in Salt Lake City

SALT LAKE CITY – Travelers have another reason to stop in Salt Lake City – there’s a new museum in town. The new Antique Classic Auto Museum of Utah displays 100 cars carrying the nameplates of such marques as Pierce-Arrow and Cord and Stutz. Later cars wearing Cadillac’s trademark fins or Chrysler’s famous wood bodies are also part of the collection, which displays cars from 1903-1970.

Not only does the museum display first-class cars, it also offers visitors the chance to take some of them home. Curators Dick and Stacy Williams offer only the museum’s duplicate cars for sale. For serious buyers, another 300 cars are offered for sale at the nearby Classic Cars International, a collector car sales business also operated by Dick and Stacy Williams.

To find the Antique Auto Museum of Utah, look for the beaconing red Studebaker just off the exits for I-15 and I-80 in Salt Lake City at 355 West 7th St. S. The museum benefits the Utah Homeless Boys Ranch in West Valley City, Utah, and is open Monday through Saturday 9 a.m.- 4 p.m. and Sundays by appointment. Call 801-322-5186 or go to www.classiccarmuseumsales.com to learn more.

Alternative vehicles power into Studebaker museum

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — On March 27, the Studebaker National Museum opened its special exhibition on alternative fuel cars entitled “Alternative Fuel Vehicles: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.”

Producing alternative fuel vehicles remains one of the auto industry’s great challenges, said museum officials. The exhibit takes a historical approach to a contemporary issue and features innovations from early automakers in the steam- and electric-propulsion fields. It also examines the advancements of today in hybrid and fuel cell technology. Finally, the exhibit features possible advancements on current technology and how that may affect the cars of tomorrow.
