Antique Auto Museum 24, AACA Museum -- Lotus: The Art of Lightness, April 2, 2015

I made a return visit to the AACA Museum on April 2, 2015, to view and photograph the exhibit "Lotus: The Art of Lightness." I am pleased to share in this gallery the pictures I took of the cars and bicycles that were featured in that exhibit, which closed on April 26. The show celebrated the rich racing and engineering legacy of a racing team and car company founded by the brilliant Colin Chapman. Lotus's racing triumphs are truly remarkable: 81 Formula One Grand Prix victories, seven F1 Constructors World Championships, six F1 World Drivers Championships, nine class wins at Le Mans, one Indianapolis 500 victory and one World Rally Championship.

This gallery is the 24th in my continuing series on exhibits at the Antique Automobile Club of America showcase in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The museum's Web address is http://www.aacamuseum.org .
