automuseum Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I am reviewing the Register of Antique Automobiles Joint Listing AACA - VMCCA - HCCA, compiled and published by the AACA in 1957 as I research the provenance of some of our cars. In addition to the names of the pioneer collectors back then, several museums are listed. All the museums are familiar to me, save one... I keep finding a reference to the "T.P. Museum" ... Does any one know what museum this was?Appreciate any leads...Roberto at the Seal Cove Auto Museum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Mack_CT Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Roberto, this is a "soft lead" or educated guess, but could it be he initials of Doc Powers who I understand ran a museum in Southington, CT (before my time) in the late 50s - early 60s? There has been discussion on this somewhere in this forum. If I can think of the name of the museum or provide any additional details will share them.Seal Cove is on our vist list for later this year!

nickelroadster Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I have one of the Register of Antique Automobiles from 1957 also. One of my cars is listed in it and I was wondering if anyone knew of any other years being published. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
