The Gilmore Car Museum
welcomes
The 65th Revival AAA Glidden Tour
Presented by the Veteran Motor Car Club of America
On Wednesday, September 22, 2010 between 1:00 pm until 5:00 p.m. the Gilmore Car Museum
will welcome the famed Glidden tour of more than two hundred pre-WWII automobiles from
around the country for a one day public display.
The original AAA Glidden Tour, which ran from 1902 to 1913, was a driving tour during the infancy
of the automobile intended to promote the use of the motorcar.
In 1946, the Veteran Motor Car Club of America (VMCCA)revived the annual tour which has continued
ever since. Open only to pre-WWII autos the antique cars travel a predetermined route and stop in
local towns to show off their vehicles, many people dressed in period attire.
Each of the over 200 historic cars expected, from the “Brass Era” motorcars of the teens to the
Classics of the 1930s, will be driven—NOT TRAILERED—to the Gilmore Car Museum as part of the tour.
This is a great opportunity to see and hear a wide variety of antique autos as they motor into the
museum for an afternoon display.
General Museum Admission Applies.
