The collection

Technical advances in the automotive world have also reflected what have been leaps forward in manufacturing and societal evolution. But how to highlight the close connection between the automotive world and that of various economic organizations? John Pollini has tried to answer this question by creating an association whose purpose is to foster knowledge of the evolution of customs and habits from the 1950s to 2000 through the history and models of cars that have accompanied several generations.

The collection includes model cars, advertising brochures, owner’s manuals, trade magazines, vintage car models and objects that gravitate around the world of cars (from valve radios to record players, from old highway tickets to telephone tokens and many other curiosities).
