At the trolley museum, when we say "car" we usually mean a trolley car, with 4 or 8 steel wheels. So we're calling this the Antique Automobile Show to avoid confusion. At one time, trolley cars dominated the streets of our towns and cities, then shared those streets with automobiles, then eventually disappeared from most American streets.

There are many auto shows each year, but only here at the Shore Line Trolley Museum show will you be able to see antique autos and antique trolleys, both in running condition, side-by-side, just as they were in bygone times.

Come to the trolley museum on May 15, 2010. This unique event is sure to delight young and old alike. The regular museum admission price entitles you not only to trolley rides all day long, but also to admission to the auto show. The museum will open early this day, with the car show and first trolley rides opening at 9 AM. The car show will end at 3 PM.

There will be light refreshments such as hot dogs and hamburgers available for purchase, or you are welcome to bring your own food. The museum has several picnic areas along the trolley line.

We'll also have a DJ with appropriate period music.
In the event of severe weather, the event will be rescheduled for the following day, May 16.

Passes to all trolley rides and trolley museum areas for the entire day for two people -- a $16 value. (Additional guests at the regular museum admission rate).

A special commemorative dashboard placard. This unique piece is engraved with the image of one of the museum's historic trolley cars.
