Arguably no country has shaped the manufacturing and design of automobiles more than the United States. Although German-born Karl Benz introduced the world to its first motor car, it was largely American ingenuity that drove the automotive industry forward.

Fred Colgren from the Gilmore Car Museum will appear at the North Berrien Historical Museum to present “The Innovators: 20th Century Automotive Pioneers.” This program will highlight the men and women who invented key items and processes that were important to the auto industry, from the Model A to windshield wipers.

No RSVP is required for this free program. Please call (269) 468-3330 with any questions.
