| Description | Nearly a century of automotive history is in store for those who come to Huntingdon, Pa. The Swigart Museum is the oldest automobile museum in America having been established in 1920 by the late W. Emmert Swigart.
The selection of one-and two- cylinder cars in the Swigart Museum is probably the most diverse in the United States. Included among the exhibits are several of the most popular autos at the turn of the century. Although the collection is distinguished in its presentation of the automobile during its formative years, it also features examples of outstanding vehicles from the classic era. Famous marques represented in the collection include: Pierce-Arrow, Packard, Marmon, Duesenberg, Cord, as well as several others.
The collection features many rare, and in many cases, one-of-a-kind vehicles. Each car has a history that deserves taking time for recounting. Each car is a work of art that bears testimony to a nearly-forgotten era when motor carriages were built by craftsmen.
