Cruise through time as you travel through various exhibits from the 1890s to the 1980s! The AACA Museum, Inc., located in Hershey, PA, displays vintage automobiles in unique scenes and settings! Visitors can stroll through eight decades in time while traveling from New York to San Francisco. It’s a trip down memory lane recalling the cars of the past. A trip to the Museum is a journey of discovery

and enjoyment for the whole family. The Museum’s original and restored vintage vehicles are displayed in elaborate scenes that bring the history of the automobile to life. From an old-time machine shop in turn-of-the-century New York to the asphalt apron of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, the Museum exhibits invite visitors to move through time on a tour from the automobile’s blacksmith shop beginning to a time when the car was king. Highlights include the The Cammack Gallery, themed featured exhibits, the Museum of Bus Transportation, and signature events. The Cammack Gallery features the world’s largest collection of Tucker automobiles and related artifacts. The Cammack Tucker Collection is a permanent exhibit in the Gallery that displays three Tucker ’48 automobiles, the factory Tucker test chassis, hundreds of engineering drawings, original Tucker parts, and several experimental engines. The Tucker ’48 vehicles include Tucker #1001 – the first “production” prototype, Tucker #1022 – Mr. Cammack’s first Tucker, and Tucker #1026 – the only surviving Tucker with an automatic transmission. A total of 51 Tuckers were built by hand in Chicago, of which 47 are known to still exist. In main gallery, themed changing exhibits showcase short-term displays that range from Model T’s to Muscle Cars. Recent exhibits include "Studebaker Cool," "Yeah, It's got a Hemi!" "Age of Aquarius," and "Keep on Truckin'." The rotunda features a historical array of hood ornaments, bus transportation memorabilia and motorbikes. The lower level galleries reveal travel-themed spaces including the Motorbike Gallery, functioning model trains, and the 'Flo In' restored 1941 Valentine Diner (relocated from Wichita, Kansas). It’s a walk-in time capsule from a time when a dime bought a cup of coffee and service with a smile. The lower level is also home to America's largest collection of buses under one roof. The Museum of Bus Transportation, now a part of the AACA Museum, Inc., displays dozen of buses and an illustrated timeline tracing bus transportation history from the days of crank starts and wicker seats to full-sized motorcoaches complete with uniformed hostesses.

On this day in history, this first Ford Model T was assembled at Ford’s Piquette Avenue Plant in Detroit in 1908. The first Model Ts released to the public would not be until October, 1908. This would lead up to one of the most important production runs in automotive history.

In 1913, Ford would create and refine moving the moving assembly-line production around the Model T, dramatically lowering production costs and time. One automobile could be assembled every 93 minutes.

Until 1927, around 15 million Model Ts had been built, making it one of the most influential cars ever made.

America's Transportation Experience celebrates the Ford Model T and it's history and innovation with a program for our members and the public - our own Model T Driving Experience. Find more information and learn how to enroll here -
