The World Champion, 1907 Thomas Flyer Model 75 is currently on display at the Buffalo Transportation Pierce-Arrow Museum
On display through early August, the original World Champion Model 35 Thomas Flyer car is sure to be a treat for museum goers.
Buffalo Transportation Pierce-Arrow Museum - The original World Champion Model 35 Thomas Flyer Car has temporarily come home to Buffalo, and is being proudly displayed in Buffalo Transportation Pierce-Arrow Museum for the people of Buffalo, America, and around the world to view and enjoy.
The Thomas Flyer World Champion Car will be on display at the Buffalo Transportation Pierce-Arrow Museum through early August and will be celebrated through a series of events to be announced on the museum’s website and social media pages. The display is part of an expansive exhibition on the Thomas Motor Company that includes a Thomas Auto-Bi motorcycle, memorabilia, photographs, car parts and company artifacts that Sandoro and his wife, Mary Ann, have collected over the years. He notes that the collection is a dual salute to the City of Buffalo, State of New York, our country and Southern Ontario where Thomas started in the 1890s, as well as the history of the automobile from a worldwide perspective.
George Schuster’s great-grandson, Jeff Mahl, shares the stories of the race as told to him by great-grandfather, and which he has memorialized in his book, The Man and Car that Circled the Globe., available at the museum. Whether people have a love of history, collectibles, cars, world championship racing, the evolution of the auto industry, or simply enjoy a fascinating “underdog” story, this exhibition has something for everyone.
The Thomas Motor Car Company Exhibition runs through early August at the Buffalo Transportation Pierce-Arrow Museum located at 201 Seneca at 263 Michigan Avenue in Buffalo. See www.pierce-arrow.com for museum hours. Admission is $20 Adults & Seniors, $10 Children (12 & under). Onsite parking is free.
