What's New this Fall at the AACA Museum?
It's been a busy
summer here at the Museum as the Sports Car in America Exhibit and
the Fast from the Past: Competition Motorcycles from Yesteryear
exhibits have been enjoyed by tens of thousands of visitors! Haven't
seen these exhibits yet? There's still time and fall is an ideal
time to visit Hershey.
 The
Museum is also happy to announce that we are in the process of
enhancing our 1920's scene. This area will be adorned with hand
painted panoramic views of downtown Hershey in the 1920's. These
paintings will take you back to a simpler time, where you can
almost hear the sounds of the early city. This artwork was
commissioned by the Museum with artist Dave Naydock, a resident
of Pottsville, PA. The area will be available for viewing in early
October.
We've also got several spectacular vehicles that will be in
display at the Museum this fall :
 1970
Chevelle LS-6 from Wisconsin Muscle Car Find Has a New home at the
AACA Museum
This specific vehicle was part of the "muscle car find" in
Wisconsin in 2006. This vehicle was found by following up on a
long-rumored collection of muscle cars and Corvettes, as well as
literally tons of parts, stored in semi trailers by a quient man
in his hometown. More>>
 Original
and Unrestored 1911 Olds Limited on display October 1-13, 2009
Original and unrestored, this car is one of 159 seven-passenger
Touring Limiteds built for 1911 and is believed to be the only
completely unrestored and original example known to exist. There
have been four owners since the car was new with the most recent
owner, Mr. Jack Rich of Pennsylvania, acquiring the vehicle as
part of the Helen Swigart collection auction conducted by RM
Auctions in Hershey in 2007 for $1.65 million. More>>
 1953
Cadillac LeMans Dream Car

four originally built by General Motors as Dream Cars in 1953.

 GM
Futurliner #10
October 11 - Spring 2010
In 1940, General Motors built
twelve Futurliners to transport its Parade of Progress Show, a
traveling technology fair that featured animated exhibits and
live demonstrations showcasing General Motors automotive and
technological innovations. It has an interior staircase, a
driver's seat perched ten feet above the highway, and a
streamlined body that makes it look more like a locomotive
than a bus or truck.

Back on display after more than a
year, this is the oldest operating bus.
 If
Automotive Art is more your Style, We have two renowned
artists that will have their works on display and available
