Iconic American Cars and Motorcycles Celebrates America’S Automotive Love Affair FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Sunny Nelson Deputy Director of Marketing and Communications Taubman Museum of Art 919.452.9689 | [email protected] One-of-a-kind Cars and Celebrity-owned Motorcycles: DRIVE! Iconic American Cars and Motorcycles Celebrates America’s Automotive Love Affair ROANOKE, Va. (July 11, 2018) — Some call them rolling sculptures, others the shape of speed. Ever since the first Model T rolled off Henry Ford’s production line, Americans have had an undeniable love affair with all things automotive. They are far more than forms of transportation; they are transformative works of art. Few can imagine Steve McQueen without his fast cars and motorcycles, after all. Beginning this fall, guests can fall in love again with the cars and motorcycles that defined the first half of the 20th century with the opening of DRIVE! Iconic American Cars and Motorcycles, presented by Advance Auto Parts and on view at the Taubman Museum of Art Sept. 8, 2018-Feb. 3, 2019. A special member preview day is scheduled for Sept. 7. The nearly two-dozen vehicles featured in the exhibition span over a half-century from 1912-1965 and include one-of-a-kind concept cars and celebrity-owned roadsters and motorcycles. Organized by well-known guest curator Ken Gross, former director of the Petersen Automotive Museum in -more- One-of-a-kind Cars and Celebrity-owned Motorcycles: DRIVE! Iconic American Cars and Motorcycles Celebrates America’s Automotive Love Affair Page 2 Los Angeles, Ken said he is no longer surprised when an automobile exhibition in a fine art institution attracts both art aficionados and automobile enthusiasts. “Visitors are very excited to see these important cars and motorcycles, beautifully displayed and interpreted in galleries, in an artful way that they’ve never before considered.” Vehicles on view in DRIVE! Iconic American Cars and Motorcycles include the following (note: some vehicles may be subject to change): 1912 Mercer Raceabout Model 35C A light and nimble model, the Mercer is considered America’s first real sports car. This car was very fast for its day, a regular racing champion, according to Gross. The car was designed by Finley Robinson Porter, and built in Trenton, N.J., by the Roebling family, who made their fortune supplying the steel used to build the Brooklyn Bridge. Fun Fact: Jay Leno keeps a Mercer Model 35C in his extensive car collection. 1920 Anderson “Made in Dixie” The 1920 Anderson was built in Rock Hill, S.C, and is considered one of the most successful automobiles ever produced in the southern United States. It was added to the National Historic Vehicle Register, which documents America's most historically significant automobiles, motorcycles, trucks and commercial vehicles. Fun Fact: The Anderson slogan was, “A little higher in price, but made in Dixie!” 1921 Stutz Bearcat First created in Indianapolis, Ind., the Stutz rivaled the Mercer as a performance car. Soon after completion, Harry C. Stutz sent the prototype to compete in the 1911 inaugural Indianapolis 500 race. The untested car -more- One-of-a-kind Cars and Celebrity-owned Motorcycles: DRIVE! Iconic American Cars and Motorcycles Celebrates America’s Automotive Love Affair Page 3 did remarkably well, finishing the race and beating many established brands, earning the slogan "The Car That Made Good in a Day". Fun Fact: The Stutz displayed in this exhibition is completely original and unrestored! 1925 Duesenberg Indy Car The Duesenberg Brothers were very successful racers—and big rivals with designer Harry Miller—before they started building cars. This particular Duesenberg won the 1925 Indianapolis 500 with Pete DePaolo at the wheel. He qualified second behind Leon Duray, one of the most winning Indy racers of all time. Fun Fact: The 1925 Duesenberg was the first “supercharged” car to win the Indianapolis 500, and it clocked an average speed of more than 100 miles per hour (another Indy first!). The act of racing this car was so arduous that DePaulo had to ask a relief driver to take laps while he had his hands bandaged. 1929 Miller 91 Front-drive The creator of this vehicle, Harry Miller, pioneered front-wheel-drive, supercharging, dual overhead, camshafts and intercooling. His race cars won the Indianapolis-500 several times in the 1920’s and ’30’s. The car in this exhibition was campaigned by Leon Duray, who insisted on driving black cars to project a more nefarious image. It was sold to Ettore Bugatti, who copied its dual overhead camshaft cylinder head for his Type 50. Fun Fact: This car is one of two in existence, both of which once belonged to Bugatti. It returned to the United States in 1959; the other currently resides in the Smithsonian Institution. 1934 Ford Model 40 Speedster Designed by Eugene T. “Bob” Gregory for Edsel B. Ford, president of the Ford Motor Company, this aluminum-bodied speedster was hand-crafted at Ford’s Aircraft Division. Edsel Ford reportedly spent about $100,000 to build this car, and during the Great Depression no less! Fun Fact: Many of the features on this car were showcased years before they would appear on manufactured Ford motor cars. 1934 Packard Twelve Model 1106 Coupe Packard, Pierce-Arrow and Cadillac were America’s finest luxury cars in the 1930’s. They all had massive 12-cylinder engines and they offered limited-production special editions for the very wealthy. This stunning Packard, with its prominent "tombstone” grille, impossibly long hood and aerodynamic fastback rear, was the property of a successful Wall Street banker who supplemented his conservative dress with a stylish personal statement on wheels. Fun Fact: This stunning, art-deco Packard coupe is virtually original (save a repaint long ago) and it’s one of just four examples ever built. -more- One-of-a-kind Cars and Celebrity-owned Motorcycles: DRIVE! Iconic American Cars and Motorcycles Celebrates America’s Automotive Love Affair Page 4 1935 Stout Scarab Considered a forerunner to the Chrysler minivan, the Egyptian-themed Scarab had a reconfigurable interior with movable passenger seats, a divan and a fold-down table. William B. Stout, the former aerodynamicist for Henry Ford, invested his own money to build a custom, streamlined, rear-engine automobile. Less than 10 were ever produced. Fun Fact: Every Scarab was handbuilt, meaning no two are alike! 1937 Cord 812 S/C Phaeton Designed by Gordon M. Buehrig, the streamlined front-drive Cord 810/812 was the hit of the 1935 New York Auto Show, but mechanical and production troubles hindered the sales and distribution of the car. Still it remains an iconic figure in the history of American automobiles, dubbed “The Single Most Beautiful American Car” in 1996 by the American Heritage magazine. Fun Fact: This Cord convertible coupe was heavily accessorized and originally owned by the famous cowboy movie star, Tom Mix. 1938 Crocker “Small Tank” The rarest, most desirable American motorcycle is the Crocker, built in Los Angeles from the 1930’s until 1942. They were very fast and some had engines as large as 1500-cc. Only about 100 examples were ever made before the company failed in WWII. Albert “Al” Crocker was the chief designer and engineer. 1939 Ford “Slick Patterson” Custom A sheet metal worker for Reynolds Metals, Clarence “Slick” Patterson customized this 1939 Ford convertible coupe in Richmond, Va., practically from the ground-up. It took two years and eight months to complete, with Slick working on the car during his free time between work and trade school. It would go on to win many awards at hot rod and custom car shows. Lost for decades, it has now been completely restored. Fun Fact : The build included parts from 18 different cars, including models from the years 1926 to 1951, and was powered by a 1948 Mercury engine. The car’s radically low silouhette is accentuated by its chopped and padded top. 1941 Willys MB Jeep At the cusp of World War II, the U.S. Army called upon car manufacturers to design a lightweight, four- wheel-drive combat vehicle. This is an early prototype designed by Karl Probst and the American Bantam Car Company in Butler, Pa. Although they won the design competition, the company was too small to -more- One-of-a-kind Cars and Celebrity-owned Motorcycles: DRIVE! Iconic American Cars and Motorcycles Celebrates America’s Automotive Love Affair Page 5 manufacture the cars in volume, and the cars were ultimately produced by Willys-Overland, Ford and Chrysler. Fun Fact: The Willys MB is nicknamed the “little car that won the war.” 1947 Harley-Davidson “Knucklehead” Motorcycle enthusiasts can instantly recognize a Harley-Davidson “Knucklehead” based on the shiny rocker box covers that resemble clinched fists with knuckles exposed. Harley-Davidson only produced Knuckleheads from 1936-1947, making this particular bike one of the last produced since the company introduced the new Panhead model in 1948. Because of its rarity, the Knucklehead is arguably one of Harley-Davidson’s most coveted bikes. 1947 Indian Chief Motorcycle with Sidecar Built in Springfield, Mass., Indian motorcycles rivaled Harley-Davidson for years in a rivalry as intense as Ford versus Chevy. The Indian Chief was the company’s top-of-the-line touring bike. Its streamlined fenders were shaped like an Indian chief’s warbonnet. Favored by police departments and enthusiasts, a properly tuned "Big Chief” could top 100-mph. It’s a little slower with this snappy sidecar. Fun Fact: This motorcycle once belonged to the famed actor, stuntman and racer Steve McQueen, and it’s still owned by his son, Chad. 1948 Tucker Model 48 This car took the auto world by storm in 1948 with its radical, flat-six cylinder engine: a wave of orders poured into Preston Tucker’s fledgling car company as a result.

  • Preston Tucker: His Car and the Men Who Helped Create It by STEVE REPERGEL
    Preston Tucker: His Car and the Men Who Helped Create It By STEVE REPERGEL Recently, I had the privilege of speaking to Philip S. Egan, author of “Design and Destiny: the making of the Tucker Automobile.” Now 81, Egan, an industrial designer, helped make Preston Tucker's dream car a reality. This story outlines my conversations with Egan, presents findings derived from his book and offers insight into the minds of the automotive geniuses who worked so diligently behind the scenes. As a highly creative individual who possessed acute visionary skills and a refined sense of business acumen, Preston Tucker was without question a successful entrepreneur long before he envisioned the Tucker automobile. Much of his success is credited to his personality---he had the talent and gift to make people believe and invest in his ideas. Preston Tucker began his entrepreneurial triumphs during World War II with inventions of mechanical design. His involvement with military staff at Washington D.C. led to contributions on the Sherman Tank, the creation of the infamous Combat Car and the Tucker Turret which was used widely throughout the Second World War His interest in automobiles, especially with regards to speed, was sparked by his close relationship with famous racecar driver and designer Harry Miller. From his associations with Miller, Tucker spent much time composing concepts of mechanical ingenuity that could be applied to the inner workings of a revolutionary automobile. It was clear, however, that Preston Tucker would not be satisfied with just selling his ideas about automobiles. He wanted to produce a vehicle on the open market that he could proudly claim as his very own.
