WUNDERCARS! exhibit opens in Sacramento

Sacramento, California -- Much of my past six months has been devoted to helping the California Automobile Museum in Sacramento launch its new main exhibit -- WUNDERCARS!, the story of the German automobile at home and abroad.

The museum staff has handled much the heavy lifting, and the exhibit makes its debut Oct. 1.

The machinery assembled so far is fantastic. The main exhibit area contains German cars of all stripes, many of them highly valued by collectors. Over the exhibit's nearly eight-month run (through May 11, 2012), four separate German marques also will be featured in a separate, highlighted area.

Through Nov. 28, Porsche is in the spotlight. Again, our collection of Porsche models is stellar.

Through the exhibit's run, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen also will have their time in the spotlight.

Our corporate sponsors, both Sacramento-based, are The Niello Co. and the Von Housen Mercedes-Benz Group of Dealers. These auto retailers, serving much of the Sacramento Valley, played a big role in getting WUNDERCARS! rolling.

Please visit the museum if you come to Sacramento in the near future. WUNDERCARS! and the rest of the museum exhibits provide a first-class visual/educational automotive experience.

The California Automobile Museum features scores of motor vehicles – from early horseless carriages, to opulent classics, to racing machines to contemporary makes. Special exhibits and educations classes are also part of the experience.

The California Automobile Museum at 2200 Front Street is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and every third Thursday until 9 p.m.
