Automotive History: A Personal Obsession
Mike Williams was a science teacher and driver’s education instructor at Keota, Iowa, for about four decades. He is currently a member of two car museums and six car clubs (including past President of the Corn Country Cruisers in Washington, IA.)
Mike is a member of the Society of Automobile Historians and the author of magazine articles for state and national car club publications. He is also a “Street Survival” instructor and a collector of automobile magazines, books, and automobilia.
In addition, he has also enjoyed experiences driving on an F1 track – the Nurburgring in Germany, U. S. tracks, the German Autobahn, and numerous high performance driving schools. Mike has also received car deliveries at factories in Kentucky twice and
Germany twice.
So…how did Mike Williams become so car crazy?
On Sunday, June 28, at 2 p.m., Mike will be discussing his fascination with the automobile industry as he explains what the automotive landscape was like in
America in the early post-WWII years. Using a slide presentation, he will show his family’s history through stories of selected cars from the 1930s through the 1970s.
He will have some models and memorabilia.
Just for fun, Mike can talk about the invention of the automobile, the early auto companies, and world auto pioneers and their personalities.
He will also answer questions from the audience about their own family’s cars and and play pick-a-year/ brand/mascot/logo or other trivia.
All are invited to attend this event at no charge. Donations are accepted.
