''Truck and Bus'' at Sloan Museum's Buick Automotive Gallery

Description

Partnering with General Motors, Sloan Museum will host a special exhibit at Buick Gallery featuring the workhorses of the automotive world - pick-up trucks. From their infancy as motorized versions of delivery wagons, these trucks have developed into essential tools used by farmers, ranchers, construction workers and firefighters. However, many people who rarely haul anything other than groceries now enjoy these vehicles for their ruggedness and style. This exhibit focuses on the theme that today's pick-up truck is far more than a simple automobile with a cab and a storage bed. Is is a sophisticated and well-designed vehicle that "gets things done" and enables an increasing number of people to pursue active modern lifestyles. The Buick Automotive Gallery is open Monday-Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. For details and a schedule of upcoming exhibits visit www.sloanlongway.org.
