Cars, Culture, and the City

• 

These months the 100th anniversary of the Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association (GNYADA) is celebrated with an exhibition in the Museum of the City of New York. The city played an essential role in creating today's car culture, and the car has helped, in turn, to shape modern New York. The exhibition that can be seen until August 8th, features visionary drawings and models; historic photographs, films, and advertisements; and a wealth of car memorabilia to tell this fascinating, yet untold, story. The photo shows the N-Y showroom of the Crow-Elkhart Motor Corporation. Note the spelling of Elk-hart on the window, as these models were often referred to as “Elk-Hart Four” and “Elk-Hart Six”.
