The Museum is hosting two enthusiast presentations this fall – one highlighting the back stories of several of the vehicles within its collection and the other featuring tricks of the trade for taking pictures like a pro.
Under the Hood will reveal the inside stories about many of Chrysler’s most iconic vehicles. The program will kick off with a brief historical overview of the Museum’s collection with Chrysler Group LLC’s Vehicle Collection and Archives Manager Brandt Rosenbusch and introductory remarks by Chrysler retirees, all engineers or executives whose long careers and enthusiast passion are intertwined with the vehicles on exhibit.
The majority of the Under the Hood session will enable attendees to informally tour the Museum’s three floors to talk one-on-one with eight Chrysler retiree experts – positioned throughout the Museum – on the following automotive and heritage topics:
•Burt Bouwkamp, Director of Body Engineering – early Dodge Chargers and Challengers
•Burke Brown, Chief Engineer, LX Program – 1930s era vehicles, as well as truck evolution
•Bill Carry, National Turbine Service Supervisor – 1963 Chrysler Turbine
•Jeff Godshall, Senior Design Manager – Chrysler corporate heritage, as well as early vehicle design
•Marv Raguse, Sr. Mgr. Vehicle Build Operations – 1957 Plymouth Fury
•Larry Shepard, Mopar Performance Engineer – race vehicles
•Jack Smith, “Father of the Road Runner” – 1968 Plymouth Road Runner
•Bruce Thomas, Corporate Historian – Chrysler during the World War II era, early Dodge trucks and the Dodge Power Wagon
Under the Hood – Sept. 18
Admission – including refreshments – is $12 per person in advance and $15 at the door, with reduced admission of $10 and $14, respectively, for Museum members.
