Local vehicle owners are encouraged to participate in the cruise-in. “ We (welcome) hot rods motorcycles, sports cars and muscle cars,” said Tanis Pellegrini, library assistant and event organizer. “This is not an AACAsanctioned event. It’s a way for people to show their cars and enjoy the music.” Preregistration for the cruise-in is encouraged; space will be limited. Those who register in advance will receive a discount. For more information or to register, visit www.aacalibrary.org/music-motors. Pellegrini explained that the Library and Research Center was previously located on West Governor Road in Hershey. Beginning in October 2020, the contents of the library as well as the display cars had to be moved to the new location. “When we moved into the building, it was completely gutted and renovated,” he noted. “ We knocked out walls, so it looks much more open.”
In addition to books and documentation, the AACA Library and Research Center houses a number of display cars.
The building is currently not open to the public, but small groups have been allowed to visit. A grand opening ceremony is planned for October. Currently, the library includes nearly 2 million pieces of sales literature, photographs and owner’s manuals and more than 6,500 reference books. “We have books dating back to the 1880s - the early years of cars,” Pellegrini stated. “We are America’s automotive library.” The Comuta-Car will be on display at the Music & Motors event.
