Whats New?

If you are heading down to Cobo for the Autorama this weekend, be sure to stop by booth 624 and see our 1911 Oldsmobile Autocrat!  The Yellow Peril sits on 38″ tires and is powered by a massive T-head 4-cylinder engine capable of displacing 500 cubic inches!  The vehicle has a custom boat-tail body built by the original owner, John Henry Greenway Albert.  Yellow Peril has competed in many races in its lifetime including the Great American Race from 1984-1986 and even traveled 3,000 miles through the Canadian Rockies!  It retains the original engine, drive train, and bodywork.  Come by and say hi to Yellow Peril this weekend!

What a wonderful turnout we had for our 4th Annual Veterans Day Open House!  Veterans, their families and those who just wanted to honor our heros with a “thank you for your service” strolled the museum to the sounds of organist Dave Wickerham.  Visitors also had the opportunity of being the first to hear our new 1920 Gaudin Dance Hall Organ play.  We were pleased to partner with Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs, Inc. as this years charity.  Veteran Mike Ronan is pictured here with Julie, his pup he received from Guardian Angels.  Mike told his very touching story to our guests and we so happy to hear how Julie turned his life around.  We thank all who donated and hope to see you all again next year!
