Crossover between the tractor and automobile industries was fairly common many years ago, offering an easy opportunity for manufacturers to cross-market their brand to atypical buyers. Porsche and Lamborghini are names associated with sports cars, but did you know they also made tractors? The exhibit showcases select manufacturers that made both vehicles and tractors, and even one manufacturer that combined a tractor and a car into one multi-use vehicle.

Fred and August Duesenberg began designing engines in the early 1900’s. In 1920, the brothers relocated to Indianapolis, Indiana, where they founded the Duesenberg Automobile & Motors Company. They produced the Duesenberg Model A and continued building winning race cars. The company was purchased by E.L. Cord in 1926 and in 1929 they began selling the Duesenberg Model J, which was powered by a 265 HP straight-eight engine. The body and cabin were built by custom-coach builders. They were considered among the most luxurious American cars ever made and were popular with movie stars, royalty and the wealthy.

We are excited to announce our next temporary exhibit, Small Block Muscle, which opens on July 15, 2025, and runs through Nov 9, 2025.

Small-block V8 engines played a significant role in shaping the golden era of American performance vehicles, especially during the 1960s and early 1970s. These compact yet powerful engines delivered impressive performance while maintaining a lighter weight, which improved overall handling and balance.

Small-block muscle cars were part of the early wave of highly desirable performance vehicles that combined aggressive styling with speed, agility, and affordability. Their influence helped define the emerging muscle car culture, making them legends on both the street and the drag strip.
