Audrain Automobile Museum’s Latest Exhibit
“Land Yachts – Cruising the Interstate Highways”
"Land Yachts, Cruising the Interstate Highways,” the latest Audrain Automobile Museum exhibit, which opens on Saturday, June 4th, invites automotive enthusiasts to travel back in time to when land yachts ruled the highways and the byways. The exhibit runs from June 4th through September 4th and will feature cars as large and in charge as the motor yachts that grace the historic Newport harbor during the summer season.
On display in the museum’s intimate gallery will be 14 of the finest and best-known examples of “Land Yachts,” created between 1948 and 1970.
No exhibit on “Land Yachts” would be complete without a 1948 Hudson Commodore Eight. The Commodore was the largest and most luxurious model produced by Hudson at the time. Though the production period was paused from January 1942 through August 1945 due to the War, an all-new aerodynamic design was introduced for 1948, representing one of the first newly designed postwar automobiles when the hunger for new cars was hotter than ever. This example has covered just 27,000 miles since 1948 and has won a first-place award in every car show it has been entered in.
