First ever 'make it & take it' event
Nov 19, 2005

This was the first 'make it & take it' model car event held at the museum. My friend Matt was overseeing the event in conjunction with the museum, but I got the chance to step in and help out shortly before the day arrived. Turnout was good, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

Born 2 Ride: America on 2 Wheels
Mar 18, 2007

This exhibit features roughly 2 dozen motorcycles, many with deep historical significance; it will be at the museum through mid-July. When the museum gets their overdue printed material, I'll update this album with captions and accurate descriptions.

A 'members only' breakfast event was held on the 18th of March, and it was the first outing for our new Nikon digital camera.

Pierce Arrows invade the lawn
Jun 28, 2007

The regional chapter of the Pierce Arrow club was passing through the area on the way to their national event in MA.
About 50 cars were expected at various times throughout the day, although the 90+ degree weather kept me from snapping pics of no more than 30 of them. I had fun with a few 'artsy-fartsy' ornament & museum sign shots.

Due to the large number of photos, and my limited knowledge of Pierce vehicles, I'm not going to even attempt captions for all of them

British Motor Fest
Jul 21, 2007

This event is part of the museum's summer lawn show series, and we made it a point to attend. Sunny and clear skies, along with temps in the mid-80's made for a nice time.

German Motorfest 2008
Jul 1, 2008

I don't recall the exact date of this event, and I kinda 'misplaced' the pictures until recently....no captions, just pictures this time around.

A couple of non-German cars showed up, but still grabbed my attention. I also included a couple of shots from the GTO exhibit that was going on then

Adirondack Corvettes lawn show
Jun 27, 2009

A threat of rain(and a few scattered showers) kept more than a few folks home this day, but turnout was still pretty impressive.

My photos are in no particular order, and some might be repeated; I also included a few 'artsy' shots as well.

Cadillac - "a Century of Style"
Jul 27, 2009

Running from July 27 to November 2, this exhibit featured many fine examples of the luxury American marque; several vehicles were on loan from the GM 'Heritage' collection, and Billy Gibbons' "CadZZilla" was a special draw for many of us.

Cool visitors
Feb 17, 2010

All the cool cars aren't inside, you know...sometimes, an odd or interesting ride shows up in the parking lot, and deserves a little attention

ATA British Motorfest 2010
Aug 21, 2010

The Adirondack Triumph Association, along with the Saratoga Auto Museum, put on another great show this year. Even though it is not British, the highlight for many of us was the historic 1909 Alco 'Black Beast' racer; the car has ties to our area, even though the Alco automobiles weren't built here(like the trains were).
I didn't take many photos, and most were reference/detail shots for my friend Tommy's MG resto.

Saratoga Auto Museum halloween show
Oct 23, 2010

A crisp October morning...and by 'crisp' I mean 40-45 degrees...didn't stop a large number of folks(and their cars) dressed for the occasion.
I'm pretty sure Matt and I were the only ones foolish enough to bring a car with no form of heating system.

Also included in this album are a couple of pictures from the previous evening's opening of the new 'Right Coast Rods' exhibit

"Right Coast Rods" exhibit
Nov 16, 2010

This exhibit features period hot rods from the northeast and upper midwest; a couple are completely unrestored, and one is a new and very faithfully done car. This exhibit runs from October 23rd 2010 through May 8th 2011.

There may be a few double pics in this album, but there's a whole lot of stuff there that warrants a second look.

Early Ford V8 Club concours
Jul 10, 2011

I didn't get any pics of the concours-level cars, as the weather went south....and my 2 year-old had a mild meltdown...but I was able to shoot a few things that caught my eye

"Porsche - 60 Years of Speed & Style in North America"
Oct 5, 2011

This exhibit had us covered for the winter of 2011-2012, as it opened in October and moves along in May.

Many of the pictures are doubles, as I made 2 different visits, and the 918RSR hybrid was only there for the first 3 days, so I had to shoot multiples of that one.
