Driving Through the '70s
This eighteen month exhibition, opening in May 2023 and running until October 2024, explores the contradictions of the 1970s, and how these were reflected in vehicles we loved.
The exhibition covers: The Oil Crisis, The Rise of Imports, The Environmental Movement, Motorcycles & Bicycles, The Death of the Muscle Car, The Rise of Recreational Vehicles, Safety, and Vehicles in Popular Culture.
The Museum needs more '70s vehicles to tell these stories than we have in our collection, so can you help us out?
Here is our Vehicle Wish List. If you, a club member or friend has one or more of these vehicles, and are interested in having it on display at the Reynolds-Alberta Museum, please reach out to Justin Cuffe, Curator of Transportation at justin.cuffe@gov.ab.ca. or call 780-312-2079.
Note:
- we are open to transporting Wish List Vehicles
- we hope to have vehicles for the entire length of the exhibition, but this is negotiable
- insurance is provided for the vehicles in the exhibition while at the Reynolds-Alberta Museum
