Tampa Bay Automobile Museum "HOODS-UP - GRAND PRIX WEEK" Wednesday March 1 through Monday March 6

Join us to celebrate innovation during Grand Prix week as we display early examples of the most innovative and influential engine designs going back to the late 1800's. HOODS-UP is the week we give all of the engine compartments in our collection a week to breathe. Many of these engines are the only ones known to exist. Hoods are up, Wednesday March 1 through Saturday March 4 10:00am-4:30pm, Sunday Noon-4:30pm and Monday March 6 10:00am-4:30pm. The history of the automobile is one of the greatest showcases of man’s creativity and imagination. The collection of the Tampa Bay Automobile Museum in the Tampa Bay area of the west central coast of Florida is perhaps one of the most succinct statements of that premise to be seen anywhere. Housed in the museum galleries are many of the finest early approaches to aerodynamic shapes and packaging, front wheel drive and rear engine-rear drive engineering, unibody construction, pioneering uses of materials like cast aluminum, pressed steel and more. The innovation of engineers such as Paul Jaray (designer of the Zeppelin airships), Gabriel Voisin (aircraft designer from World War I), Edmund Rumpler (aircraft from World War I) and Jean Albert Gregoire (Tracta front wheel drive) are present in many automobiles throughout the collection. We believe that the Tampa Bay Automobile Museum is more than just a collection of cars; it is also a celebration of the engineers that, through advanced thinking, brought us the car as we know of it today.
