This unique event provides the opportunity for auto enthusiasts to get up close and personal with our exceptional antique and classic car collection. During this exclusive, after-hours program you are invited to go behind the scenes into Heritage’s auto storage area and maintenance garage and to get face-to-fender with these fascinating vehicles. Enjoy private access to the automobile exhibits From Carriage to Classic: How Automobiles Transformed America and Charging Ahead: Early Electric Cars in America. Get a look under the hood at the engines of select vehicles, and have the rare opportunity to watch and listen as featured cars from Heritage’s collection are started up and driven (weather permitting). Don’t miss this opportunity to meet like-minded aficionados and to get all your classic car questions answered by expert members of Heritage’s Auto Committee, who also share what it takes to maintain this world-class collection during this drop-in, explore-at-your-own-pace experience.

 

Featured Vehicles:

This month’s program will feature an in-depth look at two of America’s original sports cars made by two companies who were fierce competitors, both in racing and in the consumer market: the 1912 Mercer Raceabout and the 1915 Stutz Bearcat. It is a rare occasion to see these two cars together running and driving.

 

This program takes place rain or shine. In the event of inclement weather it will take place fully indoors in the J.K. Lilly III Automobile Gallery. A limited number of tickets are available, so advance registration is highly recommended.

 

Program fees fund Heritage’s mission to inspire people of all ages to explore, discover, and learn together. Thank you for your support. Program Registration Fee: $15 Member Adults, $5 Member Youth; $25 Non-Member Adults, $15 Non-Member Youth
