Engines Exposed
January 9-31, 2010
Take a peek under our hoods
For the first time ever, we’re lifting the hoods on 50 of the most important classic cars in our historic collection. During Engines Exposed you’ll get an up-close view of the engines that powered the automotive revolution. See what happens when Innovative Design meets Inspired Engineering. The pristine inline 8 of the 1931 Duesenberg Model J, the horizontally opposed 6-cylinder of the 1960 Chevy Corvair and dozens of other technological advancements.

A bonus! It’s also time for the NAIAS. Auto enthusiasts and gearheads – make a day of it. Combine a visit to Engines Exposed with an outing to the Detroit Auto Show.

Engines Exposed. Three Weeks Only!
