Join us at the  Allentown Brew Works for a free tour and tasting on Saturday March 10 at 11:45 AM. We will also get a reserved area to stay and explore their varied menu for lunch on your own. This will be a great chance to get out of the house and start to plan those runs and activities for when full top down season comes. The tour and tasting lasts about 1/2 an hour and we can have lunch after that.

Afterwards you will want to stop by the nearby America on Wheels auto museum. They are offering a discounted admission of $8. The featured exhibit at this time is “They’re Only Original Once, Survivor Cars”. “Unrestored “original” vehicles are the real thing, not replicas. Original cars are very desirable as they become a learning tool concerning how it was painted at the factory or how the upholstered seats were originally stitched and even how the nuts and bolts were installed” states Linda Merkel, Executive Director.” Merkel shares that the mission of the Museum is to educate visitors and car enthusiasts on the importance of keeping cars original. After all, they are only original once.

Some Survivor Car Facts:

1. Original paint
   
2. Pampered life inside a garage
   
3. Interior is original
   
4. All original equipment including spare tire
   
5. No damage to vehicle fabric
   

“These well maintained original vehicles are the standard by which restored vehicles are judged. They are the definitive document on how they were actually assembled at the factory as well as the parts and finishes that were used states Alan Gross, Exhibit Chair.” The Gallery will showcase 12 totally unrestored vehicles.  http://americaonwheels.org/
