Saratoga Automobile Museum to celebrate I Love Cars with new exhibit

Love Cars will feature Museum volunteer cars and the unique love stories behind them

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. (Oct. 31, 2019) – The Saratoga Automobile Museum will present a new exhibit entitled I Love Cars beginning on Saturday, Nov. 2, 2019.

The exhibit will run through Sunday, May 31 and showcases cars that are part of the collective fiber of the Museum community and are owned by the dedicated volunteers who help support the Museum. Each car has a truly unique story as to why each owner decided on purchasing and their continued ownership of these varied automobiles. Cars span from the 1920s into the 2010s, with the focus of this unique exhibit as much about the owner’s love story with their vehicle as it is about the vehicle itself.

"The Saratoga Automobile Museum is honored to showcase these incredible car and owner love stories to the public. It is our hope that these stories will inspire the next generation of automotive enthusiasts and that one day we will be able to display their beloved cars here at the Museum.” said Carly Connors, executive director.
