Italophiles: The AACA Museum wants you to share your

"Amore della Strada"

By Kurt Ernst on Jan 26th, 2016.

Do you have a passion for, and a collection of, Italian automobiles and motorcycles? Would you like to help support the AACA Museum in Hershey, Pennsylvania? Do you understand the phrase “Amore della Strada” without consulting an Italian-English dictionary or Google Translate? If you answered “yes” to these questions, the AACA Museum is putting together an upcoming exhibit that focuses on the Italian “Love of the Road.”

The Amore della Strada exhibit is scheduled to run from November 19, 2016, through April 22, 2017.

When you hear the word Italy, chances are your thoughts immediately go to Italian food, art and architecture, fashion and Italian Cars!
Amore della Strada translates to “Love of the Road” and there’s no question that some of the sleekest sports cars in the World are Italian. While Italy is not one of the largest auto producers in the world, there’s no question that the style of their automobiles is second to none. AACA Museum brings a taste of Italy to you with a tempting array of exquisite Italian cars!

What started out as 18 vehicles and about 4 motorcycles for this exhibit has now grown to 24 vehicles and 8 motorcycles.   We couldn’t help ourselves . . . there was so many fabulous vehicles to choose from!
