“The Great Age of American Automobiles” in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Date: March 7 - June 23, 2008

location:
Museum of Art
1 E. Las Olas Blvd.
Fort Lauderdale

Phone: 954/525-5500

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines: “The Great Age of American Automobiles” is roaring into the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale. On display through June 23, the exhibition showcases the beauty and ingenuity of American automotive design during the decades following World War II. Drawn from the collection of Jean S. and Frederic A. Sharf, this installation features an eclectic mix of illustrations, ranging from preliminary sketches to fully rendered works intended for presentation to company executives. Some of the drawings offer concepts that would later be incorporated into specific models, while others represent futuristic ideas that never made it past the drawing board. Dating from an era when design and appearance were increasingly important factors in automotive sales, there are ample references to the shapes of airplanes and rockets, along with other emerging technologies that influenced postwar car design. Additionally, with the support of AutoNation, the Museum will present a select group of rare vintage cars from the 1950s and 1960s, some of which are one-of-a-kind prototypes. Among the classic examples of Americana scheduled for display will be the 1962 Ford Mustang concept car, the 1959 Cadillac Cyclone, the 1965 Plymouth Barracuda, the 1963 Chrysler Turbine and the Chrysler 300.

Admission is $10 for adults; $7 for children 6–17, seniors (65 and older) and military (with I.D.); admission is free for museum members and children 5 and under.

Downtown Delray Beach St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Party

Now in its 40th year, the St. Patrick’s Day parade and party will return to downtown Delray Beach for a day full of Irish fun. This year will honor the parade’s founding father, Maury Powers. As legend has it, 40 years ago, and spending his first St. Patrick’s Day in South Florida, Powers lamented the lack of any local celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. With just a little encouragement from his pals—and a bit of Irish whisky—he took up the challenge to have an impromptu parade right then and there. Powers left for a few minutes, only to return with his top hat and shillelagh and began a solitary stroll up the middle of Atlantic Avenue (much to the delight of his drinking buddies and chuckling passersby). When questioned as to just what he thought he was doing, his proud response was, “I’m having a parade!” Hundreds of thousands of people have attended the St. Patrick’s Day parade over the years, and it all started with one man. This year’s parade is from 1–2:30 p.m., and the party—featuring Irish food, drink and music—is from 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
