Jeff Lane about propeller powered cars:
I have always been interested in different and unique automobile inventions. The story of the propeller car is one that has always intrigued me. Although there were hundreds who tried it, Marcel Leyat spent the most amount of time and effort to make it work. His idea of light weight and simplier cars because of no transmission and differential were good ones. Everyone that inspects a Leyat closely sees the engineering expertise and that is one of the qualities I most admire.
Anyone that every experiences a propeller car running just says wow!
The museum first propeller driven car was the wind wagon built by Sam Poseys uncle. We aquired it just as the museum opened and it brought a tremendous amount of interest from the press.
The press has continued that interest for the past 10 years.
Propeller cars are fun, they are unique and they are interesting.
