From the Desk of Darrel Burnett
Executive Director
Not to be a blunt instrument about this, but It has always been my contention that a great museum should be where history comes to life not a place where you go to see dead things. Having regrettably spent my share of time in the latter, I am completely committed to keeping The Automobile Gallery & Event Center as fresh as a baby playing in a pile of flower petals.
The calendar suggests that September 22nd marks the beginning of fall. To the contrary, at the Automobile Gallery & Event Center, September marks the “rise of fall” with the introduction of a fabulous collection of exotic cars never before seen by the general public. My good friend Dale Besson has amassed an incredible collection of Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches, Aston Martins and other exotics and has graciously agreed to share 12 of his finest with you. Bring a bib because you will certainly be salivating when you see this awe-inspiring mix of speed and elegance.

|
Not only is Dale’s collection the perfect way to celebrate our new 8500 sq. ft. Pavilion, his Supercars are the perfect way of commemorating the moment that changed the fortunes of the most revered car company in the world, Ferrari. Exactly 70 years ago, Enzo Ferrari won the British Grand Prix with José Froilán González at the wheel at Silverstone Circuit in 1951. Ferrari has been the Tiffany’s of motorsport from that day forward while serving as the inspiration for other manufacturers to enter the chase for automotive aristocracy. |
|
Like Enzo, Dale Besson is a self-made man and an inspiring success story. Don’t miss The Steering Column this month to read his fascinating story. Better yet, come see a collection that few people on the planet will ever have the opportunity to enjoy in-person!

With a top-speed of 277.8 MPH, the Koenigsegg Agera RS is currently the fastest production car in the world. With faster cars being churned out virtually every month, who knows how long it'll hold onto this record.. |
