Lobby/Corridor Gallery

This gallery features an array of vehicles that have a special relationship with their owners and the communities in which they reside. From hotrods to sports cars, from emergency vehicles to unique forms of personal transportation, each of these vehicles hold a significance all their own.

In the interactive exhibits, learn the stories behind the other exhibits in the museum, have your photo taken in the driver’s seat of a mini-Indy racecar, test your knowledge of auto-related locations in Allentown, and learn how Mack Truck’s uses their specialty vehicles to strengthen our communities.

North Gallery

This gallery features vehicles used for personal transportation spanning over a century. Here you can view many of America’s “first” in automobile history, such as one of the first American cars every made, an early electric car, and the first type of car to be made by methods of mass product. You can also see some of the most recent options for versatile transportation available today that get you out of the car and on the road!

In the interactive exhibits, be a sleuth and figure out who actually built the first automobile, try to figure out just what the differences are between a car and a carriage, learn about how we might fuel our vehicles in the future, and even design your own car!
