Owners of CT-Made Automobiles Getting Ready
October 12, 2009
It is Monday morning before theKlingberg Auto Show and the preparations begin to ready our hilltop campus. We have 15 Connecticut-made Automobiles scheduled to come. I had two interesting communications from collectors in the past 24 hours that I want to share with you. Roberto Rodriques, Executive Director of the Seal Cove Automobile Museum in Maine, sent an email announcing that their 1909 Corbin, made in New Britain, has been successfully started after years of sitting idle. He sent this photograph of Cordell Snow and Richard Fox congratulating each other after the successful start. This Corbin will be displayed with the other five remaining Corbins.
The second call I received was from Howard O’Gorman from New Jersey who just learned of our gathering of CT-made automobiles from the Horseless Carriage Club Members at the national auto show in Hershey, Pennsylvania last week. He owns a 1907 Cameron made in Beverly, Massachusetts and at the same time were being manufactured in New London and Stamford, Connecticut. The invitation has been extended to him and he is seeing if he can make it with such short notice.
