Got an auto enthusiast in your camp? Maybe a zealous amateur historian?
Then it’s time to come out and rub shoulders with kindred collectors and knowledge keepers at Community Car Chat. The event is coming up this Thursday evening.
The chat session runs in conjunction with the travelling exhibit from the Canadian Automotive Museum called Exit the Horse: The Early Years of Canadian Motoring, and its local version about Humboldt and the age of automobiles called The Open Road.
Community Car Chat features local automotive enthusiasts Ed Drachenberg, Ron Sokolan, and Wilfred Mollenbeck talking about the items that they have contributed to the exhibit.
Learn about Ed’s working model of Henry Ford’s first internal combustion engine, Ron’s Boyce MotoMeter and other objects from his collection, and Wilfred’s handcrafted steel model of a 1925 Ford Model T. These will be on display along with several artifacts, photographs and stories from the Museum’s collection.
If you love cars, you won’t want to miss this! There is no cost to attend and everyone is welcome. Community Car Chat takes place on Thursday, April 10, 7 pm at the Humboldt and District Museum.
