THE PRINCIPAL PROGRAM SERVICE OF THE AACA MUSEUM CONSISTS OF OPERATING AN AUTOMOTIVE/TRANSPORTATION MUSEUM, OPEN TO THE PUBLIC 362 DAYS PER YEAR. IT IS DEDICATED TO THE PRESERVATION, EDUCATION, AND DISPLAY OF MOTOR VEHICLE HISTORY, AND IT HOSTED APPROXIMATELY 55,000 VISITORS THIS YEAR. THE DISPLAYS IN THE MUSEUM ARE EDUCATIONAL IN NATURE, AND THERE ARE SPECIFIC EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS CONDUCTED AS WELL. IN RECOGNITION OF THE QUALITY OF ITS DISPLAY, THE AACA MUSEUM HAS QUALIFIED FOR AFFILIATE MUSEUM STATUS WITH THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION. THE AACA MUSEUM HAS ALSO BEEN RECOGNIZED BY A WIDE VARIETY OF AUTOMOTIVE JOURNALS AND NEWS PERIODICALS AS ONE OF THE TOP AUTOMOTIVE MUSEUMS IN THE WORLD. IN RECENT YEARS, INCLUDING 2021, THE MUSEUM RECEIVED THE HARRISBURG MAGAZINE'S READER'S CHOICE AWARD FOR BEST MUSEUM.1. THE DISPLAYS COMPRISE APPROXIMATELY 70,000 SQUARE FEET OF SPACE WITH A FEATURE EXHIBITION THAT TAKES VISITORS ON A CROSS-COUNTRY JOURNEY BEGINNING IN NEW YORK CITY AND ENDING IN CALIFORNIA AT SAN FRANCISCO'S GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE. EACH "DECADE" IS IN A DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHIC AREA AND FEATURES A DISTINCTIVE PAINTED BACKGROUND AND BUILT, THREE-DIMENSIONAL, PERIOD CORRECT SCENE TO SHOWCASE OUR COLLECTION OF DONATED ANTIQUE VEHICLES. SOME EXAMPLES INCLUDE ART DECO MIAMI BEACH IN THE 1930S, A DRIVE-IN MOVIE THEATER FOR THE 1950S AND "ROUTE 66" FOR THE 1960S. THE MUSEUM ALSO HAS A WIDE VARIETY OF ADDITIONAL SEMI-PERMANENT AND CHANGING EXHIBITIONS, INCLUDING A MAJOR 20 TO 40 VEHICLE THEMED EXHIBITION THAT IS SWITCHED SEASONALLY (SPRING/FALL) TO KEEP CONTENT FRESH FOR OUR VISITORS. ADDITIONALLY, THE MUSEUM HAS A GROWING COLLECTION OF AUTOMOTIVE ART AND GENERAL AUTOMOBILIA, INCLUDING ONE OF THE BEST COLLECTIONS OF HOOD ORNAMENTS (MASCOTS) IN THE NATION, WHICH IS BEAUTIFULLY DISPLAYED IN OUR THIRD FLOOR ROTUNDA. THE MUSEUM CHANGES ITS TEMPORARY FEATURE DISPLAY TWICE PER YEAR IN AN ATTEMPT TO INTERPRET MULTIPLE VEHICULAR THEMES AND CONTINUALLY ATTRACT A DIVERSE AUDIENCE.2. THE CAMMACK GALLERY ON THE MAIN FLOOR WAS RE-PURPOSED IN OCTOBER OF 2014 TO HOUSE THE WORLD'S LARGEST COLLECTION OF TUCKER AUTOMOBILES AND RELATED ARTIFACTS. THIS COLLECTION, AMASSED BY DAVID CAMMACK OF ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA, IS SUPPORTED BY THE CAMMACK FAMILY FOUNDATION, WHO ALSO FUNDED THE 5,000 SQUARE FOOT SPACE THAT NOW HOUSES IT. THIS AREA, WHICH PREVIOUSLY SERVED AS OUR CHANGING EXHIBITION GALLERY, WAS COMPLETELY TRANSFORMED TO ACCEPT THE KEY COMPONENTS OF THIS WORLD-CLASS COLLECTION THAT DOCUMENTS THE LIFE AND CAREER OF PRESTON TUCKER AND THE VISIONARY AUTOMOBILE HE PRODUCED, THE TUCKER '48. THE PERMANENT DISPLAY INCLUDES THREE OF THE 51 TUCKER AUTOMOBILES BUILT, ONE BEING THE ONLY EXISTING EXAMPLE TO FEATURE AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. TUCKER WAS FOCUSED ON BUILDING A TRULY REVOLUTIONARY AUTOMOBILE, ONE THAT WAS POWERFUL, FAST, WELL-MANNERED, FUEL EFFICIENT, ATTRACTIVE AND SAFE. HE EXPERIMENTED WITH MULTIPLE ENGINES AND PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION AND BRAKE TECHNOLOGIES, INCORPORATING MANY ADVANCES INTO HIS DESIGN. HIS EFFORTS DOCUMENTED BY THE NUMEROUS DRAWINGS, BLUEPRINTS, ADVERTISING MATERIALS, FILM CLIPS AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL ARTIFACTS ASSEMBLED AND INTERPRETED FOR PUBLIC DISPLAY. RECENTLY, THE TUCKER AUTOMOBILE CLUB OF AMERICA (TACA) WAS MERGED INTO THE MUSEUM. THE CLUB, WHICH WAS FOUNDED IN THE 1970S TO DOCUMENT AND RESEARCH THE EXISTING AUTOMOBILES AND BRING TUCKER OWNERS TOGETHER FOR AN EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION, HAD ESSENTIALLY COMPLETED ITS ORIGINAL MISSION. THE CLUB TRANSFERRED ITS ASSETS AND MEMBERS TO THE MUSEUM. TACA BROUGHT ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTARY MATERIALS THAT ENHANCED WHAT WAS ALREADY THE WORLD'S GREATEST ARCHIVE OF TUCKER INFORMATION. IN ADDITION, THE MERGED ASSETS INCLUDED A FIBERGLASS REPRODUCTION TUCKER AUTOMOBILE SHELL THAT WAS MADE FOR THE FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA MOVIE ON TUCKER THAT WAS PRODUCED IN THE LATE 1980S. THIS NEW "TUCKER" GAVE US A VEHICLE WE COULD TAKE TO EXTERNAL SHOWS AND EVENTS AND NOW SITS SIDE BY SIDE WITH OUR ORIGINAL FACTORY BUILT TEST CHASSIS AND ACROSS FROM A ROW OF PROTOTYPE TUCKER ENGINES. THE TACA MEMBERSHIP ALSO BRINGS US NEW CAR OWNERS, HISTORIANS AND HOBBYISTS WHO HAVE ENHANCED OUR DATABASE OF INFORMATION ON THE SUBJECT. ALL OF THESE COMPONENTS AND PIECES, NEW AND OLD, COLLECTIVELY GIVE US INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION AS THE "CENTER OF THE TUCKER UNIVERSE." SMALL ENHANCEMENTS WERE MADE TO THIS EXHIBIT AREA DURING THE YEAR AND HUNDREDS OF DOCUMENTARY MATERIALS WERE SCANNED AND INCORPORATED INTO OUR ONLINE DATABASE. 3. ANOTHER RECENT EXPANSION SAW THE MUSEUM OF BUS TRANSPORTATION (MOBT) ALSO TRANSFER ITS ASSETS TO THE MUSEUM WITH THE GROUP'S MEMBERSHIP ALSO JOINING THE MUSEUM RANKS. THE MOBT WAS PREVIOUSY A TENANT AND PARTNER, OCCUPYING A LARGER PORTION OF THE LOWER-LEVEL GALLERY WHERE IT DISPLAYED PART OF ITS COLLECTION OF HISTORIC BUSES. THE GROUP HAD SECURED A 20-YEAR LEASE WITH THE MUSEUM AND HAD BEEN PART OF THE ORGANIZATION SINCE OPENING DAY IN JUNE OF 2003. WITH THE DISSOUTION OF THE MOBT, THE MUSEUM NOW HAS TWO SUB-GROUPS WITH MEMBERS DEDICATED TO A SPECIFIC PART ASPECT OF TRANSPORTATION HISTORY. THE MOBT BROUGHT APPROXIMATELY 35 BUSES TO THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTION AS WELL AS AN ANNEX BUILDING USED FOR STORAGE AND VEHICLE MAINTENANCE. THE MUSEUM IS CONTINUING THE MOBT'S MAIN PROGRAMS AND TRYING TO GROW SUPPORT FOR THIS IMPORTANT PART OF OUR NATION'S TRANSPORTATION HISTORY. APPROXIMATELY FIVE ADDITIONAL BUSES WERE ADDED TO THE COLLECTION THIS YEAR.

PUBLIC EDUCATION IS AN INTEGRAL COMPONENT OF THE MUSEUM'S MISSION AND LINKED TO ITS ACTIVITIES. THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM BEGINS WITH THE WIDE VARIETY OF CARS, TRUCKS, BUSES, AND MOTORCYCLES DISPLAYED (APPROXIMATELY 150 IN THE MAIN BUILDING) THAT RANGE FROM THE LATE 1800S THROUGH THE 1990S. IT IS SUPPORTED BY HISTORICALLY ACCURATE BACKDROPS THAT POPULATE EACH DECADE SCENE IN THE MAIN GALLERY. ADDITIONALLY, SMALLER THEMED EXHIBITIONS MAY BE FOUND THROUGHOUT ALL THREE FLOORS, INCLUDING TWO WHEELED VEHICLES, A WORLD CLASS DISPLAY OF APPROXIMATELY 500 RADIATOR CAPS AND HOOD ORNAMENTS ARRANGED CHRONOLOGICALLY AND GEOGRAPHICALLY BY COUNTRY OF ORIGIN, LICENSE PLATE COLLECTIONS, THEMED AND GROUPED TWO-DIMENSIONAL ARTWORK AND STAND-ALONE INTERACTIVE UNITS PLACED THROUGHOUT OUR SPACE.ALL EXHIBITED ITEMS ARE SUPPORTED BY RESEARCH LABELS AND OTHER INTERPRETIVE DEVICES.

THE PROGRAM WAS ENHANCED AND EXPANDED FOR A LONGER SEASON DURING 2021, AS THE MUSEUM NO HAS AN H-VAC SYSTEM MADE POSSIBLE BY A SIGNIFICANT GIFT COMBINED WITH PARTIAL GRANT FUNDING.5. ELECTRIC CHARGING STATIONS. IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE AUTOMOBILE, THE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE COMPETED WITH STEAM AND ELECTRIC POWER FOR BUYERS IN A NEW MARKET. WHILE INTERNAL COMBUSTION WAS THE WINNER, BOTH STEAM AND ELECTRIC POWER HAD THEIR SHARE OF EARLY SUCCESS. THE MUSEUM HIGHLIGHTS THESE AND OTHER FORMS OF PROPULSION THROUGHOUT ITS DISPLAYS. IN KEEPING WITH CURRENT MARKET TRENDS, THREE SELF-SERVE ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS ARE LOCATED AT THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING. THEY ARE FREE OF CHARGE AND AVAILABLE FOR VISITOR USE AT ANY TIME.
