Entitled "Cars of Yesteryear," the exhibit presents a selection of antique cars chosen for their synoptic representation of the technical development of the automobile during slightly more than half a century. Each of the fourteen cars in this collection is typical of its particular period and represents the mechanical genius of its day. All have been restored in the Museum shops to pristine condition and could be driven un-dier their own power. In order to give visitors a better "time sense" essential to an appreciatiQn of these cars in the history of motoring, a number of familiar appliances and J objects contemporary with the S automobile of that period are ' also shown. ^These include such things as a 'Regina music box, which played melodies from perforations on a metal disk; &n Edison phonograph with its cylindrical wax record, Morning Glory horn; a late 19th century wall telephone which was in extensive use during the early days of the automobile; a hand-wound, disk-type phonograph and a footoperated sewing machine. Serving as a background are two large walls devoted to murals painted by Prank V. Hoffman, Chicago artist, and depicting nostalgic street scenes of the early days of the horseless carriage. Another feature of the exhibit is a section of the original Rome Insurance building, the "first skyscraper" completed in Chicago in 1885, showing the "cage" construction of its supporting framework of cast iron. Oldest of the cars in this collection is a three-wheeled Bernard! (1893-94). donated by the Italian government. This had a onecylinder motor, platinum hot plate ignition and water cooling. Top speed was about 22 miles per hour. Another foreign old car is an 1896 Benz, a two-passenger runabout whose one cylinder motor (mounted in the rear) developed 3 horsepower. Shifting belts and pulleys were arranged to provide two speeds forward and one in reverse. Original cost was $1200. One of the oldest Americanm& de cars displayed is a 1904-05 Stevens-Duryea runabout whose 4wo cylinder moter (in the rear) developed 7 horsepower. Two passengers in this car could ride ~in a .seat ahead of the driver who sat somewhat higher and steered ' - with a tiller. Of interest to modern sports car enthusiasts are two sport roadsters from 1913. One is a German "Mercedes," boasting a four-speed selective transmission, with a four-cylinder sleeve valve motor developing 40 horsepower. Approximate original cost was $5,500. The other sport model is an American car, a "National" (made in Indianapolis, Ind.) and famed in its day as one of the classiest on the road. Its four-: cylinder engine (cylinders were cast in pairs) also developed 40 horsepower. With its long wheelbase and 36-inch tires it literally seemed to fly off the ground. Its original cost was $2,150. The "Simplex" was considered I one of the best engineered cars j on the road in 1911. The touring j model shown at the Museum is • a.sporty-looking car with bright; brass trim and a sliding selective | gear with four speeds forward. Its four cylinder motor developed 39 horsepower and its cost was $4,850. Both the forerunner and the production model of the famous "Model T" of Henry (Ford are j|ocluded in the exhibit. The 1908 j car boasted four cylinders, vibrator ignition coils, water pump! tooling, splash lubrication, tubular radiator and acetylene and oil lights. The production model of this, which virtually put A- . merican on car wheels is a 1914 number with planetary transmission, same type of motor developing 23 horsepower and cost $550. The latter car was a personal gift to the Museum from Henry Fond. Another still familiar name in automotive history is Cadillac. , The Museum's collection includes two early examples -- a 1906 • light touring car with a onecylinder engine of 10 horsepower 5 Which originally sold for $950; I and a 1912 touring model with | a four-clinder engine rated at 32 t horsepower. Its sliding gear I transmission gave the conven- Jtional three speeds forward plus ,:'|reverse.
