Duryea Days
Charles and Frank Duryea were bicycle makers with an interest in the potential of gasoline-powered vehicles, building their first automobile in 1893. Later they designed and patented the Duryea, one of the first gasoline powered cars. They would participate in the first automotive races and form one of the first companies to build and sell gas cars. For over 40 years, Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles has celebrated classic automobiles each Labor Day weekend. The event currently features over 500 vehicles, from pedal cars to Model T's. The event ends with awards, from Best Antique to Best Modified. Duryea Days is a true community event, with activities for the whole family.
Be sure to mark your calendars for May 21-23, 2010 for next year's 21st CAC at Penn State!
Tour del Sol
Tour del Sol was the inspiration for 21st CAC. Starting in 1989, the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association organized the annual Tour del Sol with the goal of "Driving Toward Zero Carbon Emissions." Tour de Sol showcased the progress made toward the production of green vehicles. The high-profile event allowed car companies to show case environmentally friendly vehicles, and challenged students and entrepreneurs to build one-of-a-kind vehicles that reduce gasoline dependence. The week-long event featured a weekend "green car show" and several competitions with cash prizes. The show highlighted hybrid, natural gas, biofuel, electric and fuel cell vehicles from major car companies like Honda, Toyota and Ford.
