Description
The William E. Swigart Automobile Museum is a non-profit dedicated to preserve the history of the American automobile. Our remarkable collections have existed for more than 90 years, beginning as a private passion of our founder W. Emmert Swigart. His son, William E. Swigart, Jr., fell under the spell of these wonderful machines and built up the collection to Duesenberg 12 cylinder Gentlemen's Speedstar, the 1920 Carroll, and the 1916 Scripps-Booth. The Swigart Museum is the only automobile museum in the country where visitors can see two tuckers, the 1947 "Tin Goose" Prototype and #1013. The museum is accented with even more history. The automotive license plate and radiator emblem collections are believed to be the largest in the world. automobile lights and horns, bicycles, toys, vintage clothing, and memorabilia are on display throughout the museum. In addition, a gift shop stocked with automobile related products for young and old alike makes a visit to the William E. Swigart, Jr. Automobile Museum a uniquely entertaining and educational experience for all members of the family.
