We will meet at the Bob Evans restaurant, located 1.5 miles E off of the Parkway East on business Rt. 22 in Monroeville, PA. If you would like to join us for breakfast, come early - 7:15am or so. We must be on the road by 8:30am to get to the museum for the tour scheduled at 11:00am. We can load up the cars and carpool, with those who choose to do so, and leave any extra vehicles in Monroeville in the Bob Evans parking lot.

We will follow Route 22 E from Monroeville to Huntingdon. If would like to follow a different route to the Museum and do not wish to caravan with the others, please let us know so we have an accurate head count.

Our friends from other CLC Regions, including the Central PA Region who planned this trip, will be there. The tour will last until 2:00pm, then its lunch with the group at a local restaurant. We should be back in Monroeville between 5:30 and 6:00pm.

The Swigart Museum is the oldest Automotive Museum in America, having been established in 1920 by the late, W. Emmert Swigart. The museum offers a cross-section of steam, gas and electric automobiles ranging from just prior to the turn of the century through the first half of the century. All of the cars except for one are American made.

Some of the highlights are Herbie the love bug of Disney fame, a 1936 Dusenberg Speedster (the only twelve cylinder model ever created) first owned by Jackie Coogan, a 1937 Cord Phaeton, and a 1930 DuPont 'Lemans' Speedster.

Last but not least, not one, but TWO, yes TWO Tuckers!!!!! The only Museum in the world to display two Tuckers. One is the original “Tin Goose“, the prototype, and the other is number 13 of I believe only 50 made - worth the trip all by itself!
