Patina, Provenance, Originality – Thoughtful Preservation of Collectible Automobiles: The Larz Anderson Auto Museum of Brookline, Massachusetts,
renowned for housing America’s oldest car collection opened their new exhibit: Patina, Provenance, Originality: Thoughtful Preservation of Collectible
Automobiles, on May 10th. Preservation of important automobiles, as both historic artifacts and industrial art, provides an important window into the
technological ingenuity and design acumen of the early pioneers in auto manufacturing, motor racing, and the changes the automobile brought to America
in the 20th Century. David Northey, Walter Owen Bentleys grandson, is seen (above) giving a speech to the attendees on the subject of originality.
The Larz Anderson Collection containing some of the rarest and most original early cars in the world, will be on display in addition to the vintage racing
cars from the Joeseph Freeman collection, and the other 1906-1955 automobiles choosen for the exhibit, to illustrate the principles that guide collectors
of important automobiles. See many more photos and more info at The Old Motor.
