The Savoy Automobile Museum opened in December 2021. Located in Cartersville, Georgia, it occupies nearly 6000 m² on a vast campus of 5 acres that will allow extensions. The purpose of the museum is to present a wide range of cars of all brands and periods retracing the evolution of the automobile. Separated into 5 spaces, the installation makes it possible to present several temporary exhibitions and thus renew the interest of regular visitors.
Cars at the Savoy Automobile Museum
The Savoy Automobile Museum permanently exhibits about forty cars. The museum is new, but has a semi-permanent collection, consisting of loans, donations and acquisitions. The majority of the cars are from American brands, the oldest car in the collection being an Oldsmobile “Curved Dash Runabout” from 1903, which was the 1st car produced in (small) series in the United States. Among the cars in the permanent collection are a Cord 812 (1937), a Packard Super 8 (1941), a Chevrolet Corvette (1957) and a DeLorean (1981). Part of the permanent collection of the Savoy Automobile Museum is presented in rotation in one of the exhibition spaces.
In addition, the Savoy Automobile Museum also offers several themed temporary exhibitions in each of its four other exhibition spaces, which allows the museum to showcase a greater number of cars and keep visitors engaged. The chosen themes are highly varied, covering very old or more recent cars, popular or sports models, passenger cars or race cars. Themes may also focus on an automotive phenomenon or trend, an iconic brand, or a specific model. For these exhibitions, the Savoy Automobile Museum collaborates with other automobile museums, manufacturers, or private collectors.
A few recent exhibitions illustrate this eclecticism: Front Runners (front-engine single-seaters from the Indianapolis 500), Art Deco in Automobiles, Woodies, Big Blocks (Muscle Cars), Jaguar, Duesenberg, Studebaker, supercars… The current exhibitions at the Savoy Automobile Museum are listed further down this page, just before the Practical Information section. In addition, temporary exhibitions are also announced on the Automobile-Museums blog and in the monthly newsletters (subscribe here), on the Exhibitions page of the website, and of course on the Savoy Automobile Museum website.
The very airy presentation makes it possible to see the cars well, and detailed information on the construction and production of the cars on display completes visitors’ information.
Next to cars
The Savoy Automobile Museum offers its visitors a café for a break or to eat, a library open to research by appointment, an ultra-modern cinema room and 2 dining rooms that can be privatized for events. Many works of art, paintings, drawings, sculptures decorate the exhibit halls. The museum also has a building to store cars that are not on display, as well as a full workshop for the maintenance and restoration of the collections. Also in Cartersville is the Booth Museum, to discover American history and culture through “Western” art.
