Now–March 27
America On Wheels’ exhibit They’re Only Original Once, Survivor Cars showcases 12 unrestored, original vehicles from various eras. This means all-original paint, interior and equipment all the way down to the spare tire. What’s more, these cars have no damage to vehicle fabric and have been well-maintained inside garages.
Survivor Cars educates visitors and car enthusiasts on the importance of keeping cars original. “Unrestored ‘original’ vehicles are the real thing, not replicas,” says Linda Merkel, executive director. “Original cars are very desirable, as they become a learning tool concerning how [they were] painted at the factory or how the upholstered seats were originally stitched, and even how the nuts and bolts were installed.”
Some of the cars featured include a 1918 Hudson Limousine, a 1934 Buick Model 47 Sedan, which is a Chicago World’s Fair Car, and a 1954 Chevrolet Corvette. They’re Only Original Once, Survivor Cars will be on display through March 27 in the Changing Exhibit Gallery.
