March 25th through August 8th at The Museum of the City of New York. Even though New York, like many major cities, has a low per capita ownership of automobiles, it has surprisingly played an essential role in creating today's car culture, and the car has helped, in turn, to shape modern New York. Cars, Culture, and the City is the first exhibition to explore New York City’s century-long relationship with the car and marks the 100th anniversary of the Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association (GNYADA). The exhibition will feature visionary drawings and models; historic photographs, films, and advertisements; and a wealth of car memorabilia to tell this fascinating, yet untold, story. For more information and tickets to special events go to the MCNY site: LINK. The Museum of the City of New York, located in East Harlem, is at 1220 Fifth Avenue, between 103rd and 104th Street. Nearest subway is the 6 train at 103rd Street or 2,3 at 110th Street. www.mcny.com. Photo of the old Studebaker factory in Manhattanville by Ulysses

The building pictured was the site where the Trigger device was developed for the Atom Bomb by Columbia Engineers who were also housed in the building. I think the Studebaker bldg is a landmark.
