OYSTER BAY, NY- Collector Car Showcase (www.collectorcs.com), the only museum/showcase devoted to automotive memorabilia, Petroliana, and vintage cars in the metropolitan New York area, has announced that its next exhibit “Century of Speed — 100 Years of Racing and Competition Cars” will debut on June 6.
This celebration will be on display through July at the 18,000-square-foot facility located at 85 Pine Hollow Road (aka Route 106) on the southern approach to this historic North Shore Long Island Gold Coast hamlet.
The new exhibit will succeed “American Muscle Cars”, currently on display, and has Teachers Federal Credit Union as a principal sponsor. The Petroliana museum, as car aficionados liken it, is open to the public daily from Tuesday-Saturday. It will feature an eclectic mix of competition race cars that have national and historic significance. A number of the cars displayed have been raced, owned, and restored right here on Long Island.
Vintage race cars from 1908 to today can be seen at any one time during the course of the exhibition, from a mix of 30-40 being rotated in, according to event curator Michael Lindgren of Sea Cliff, NY, who is largely responsible for assembling the show in partnership with Collector Car Showcase founder David Jacobson.
This gathering of international competition racers will salute the past century of auto racing. Diverse offerings from Formula race cars, historic stock cars, vintage road racing, midgets, drag cars to open wheel road course racers will be on display.
