Age of Aquarius

Muscle & Flower Power are Back in Style at the AACA Museum, Inc.

The summer of ’69 was a tumultuous time in America.  It was a time of reflection and a time of cultural change with a focus on peace, love, and happiness. It was also a time when powerful engine muscle cars were popular with colorful paint and fanciful interiors. Age of Aquarius:  Cars of the Counterculture & Beyond explores this time by showcasing more than twenty vehicles from this era.    The exhibit is on view from November 23, 2019 – April 26, 2020, at the AACA Museum, Inc. in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
This exhibit focuses on the many unique vehicles manufactured and marketed in America from about 1967 (the release of the musical Hair) through the early to mid-1970s.  A lot of change was taking place in America during this era, and it manifested itself vividly in the cars produced in Detroit and beyond.
DeSoto Release

National Desoto Club Display

A display of three DeSoto vehicles is currently on view at the AACA Museum, Inc. in Hershey, PA, through April 26, 2020. This display of cars, along with many other artifacts, is guest curated by the Colonial Chapter of the National DeSoto Club.
In 1928, the DeSoto was introduced by Chrysler as a mid-priced model meant to compete with Buick, Hudson, Oldsmobile, and Studebaker.  This same year, Chrysler also finalized the purchase of Dodge Brothers, which included Dodge and Plymouth vehicles.  This acquisition resulted in Chrysler having two mid-price vehicle offerings.   For the 1929 model, there were 81,065 DeSoto automobiles produced; this single-year production record would stand until the Ford Falcon in 1960.    The decline in sales began with a downturn in the economy in 1958, which impacted not just DeSoto, but all mid-priced vehicles across the board.  Over two million vehicles were built during the lifetime of the marque, which remained in production until 1961.
