STUNNING EXHIBITION AT THE Antique Automobile Club of America's (AACA) huge museum in Hershey. "Jewels of the JWR Museum" runs through January 31, 2010. The museum's Web site is: http://http://http//www.aacamuseum.org/.We highly recommend the AACA museum to all our guests, and each week, many of our guests visit the museum and come back telling other guests how much they enjoyed it. What Craig tells everyone: "The museum is a Smithsonian Affiliate. The automobiles on display are usually restored to the 'nth degree' meaning they are show room quality. When you stand and look at a Cord or a Sterns Knight or a Dusenberg, it is like being in the 1930's, in the show room. All automobiles are road worthy and are driven! Yet, there isn't a spot of oil anywhere. Cars are shown in their natural environment. For example, the port hole Thunder Bird is shown in a drive in movie theatre!"
The current exhibition is based upon Pennsylvania resident John “Jack” Rich's collection. He opened his collection at the JWR Museum after retirement so people of all ages could experience the wonders of automotive history. The AACA Museum will be showcasing six spectacular and diverse vehicles that span from the early 1900’s – late 1940’s in the main exhibit gallery. Specific vehicles include: 1910 American Underslung Traveler, 1926 Rolls-Royce Springfield Silver Ghost Piccadilly Roadster, 1932 Delage D8-SS Cabriolet by Chapron, 1939 Horch 853a Cabriolet, 1939/47 Rolls-Royce Phantom III ‘Vutotal’ Cabriolet by Labourdette, and a 1948 Delahaye 135M Cabriolet by Figoni et Falaschi. Also currently on display from the JWR Museum is an original and unrestored 1911 Oldsmobile Limited 7 Passenger Touring vehicle. It is believed that this is the only completely unrestored and original example know to exist.
