The 1910 White Roars to Life


It was a special Flag Day at the National Automobile Museum. Hootin' and hollerin' galore. Flags were waving but it was the Starting Flag that created a stir this day as opposed to Old Glory.

After multiple years of hibernation the 1910 White Touring car roared back to life again. Jay Hubbard, Automotive Collections Manager, Al Abrahamson and a select group of volunteers rebuilt the large displacement four cylinder engine to re-commission the open touring car.

After several pulls on the crank and a few adjustments, the '10 White lit off in a billow of smoke and then settled in a loping idle. Vital signs were checked and the car was driven out of the garage and into the light of day. Hooray!

Family Night Out

We are teaming up with the Food Bank of Northern Nevada this month! When we teamed up with them last December we asked visitors to donate one food item and receive $1 entry into the museum. The turnout was so amazing, we wanted to do it again!
The Food Bank of Northern Nevada dispersed food to over 210,000 people in need last year. If you plan on coming, here is a link to their most needed food items.

BoDawgs will be onsite, selling and serving their food to those who are visiting the museum. Silver Peak will also be there selling and serving beer. Make it a family night out. We hope to see you there, with food in hand!

What: $1 Night Out
Who: Everyone is invited
When: Wednesday, June 13. 4 p.m.- 9 p.m.
Where: The Museum (10 S. Lake St. Reno)
Why: To raise food for the community and have a good time.
