Racing into History and Mountain View
by Eva Gordon
What: Mozart Museum Tour
When: Saturday February 23, 1:00pm - 3:00pm
Where: Mountain View, CA
In April of 2011, John Mozart opened the doors to his state of the art auto museum in Mountain View.
The museum houses anywhere from 60 of his 100 cars, some of the world's finest automobiles on display— including exotic examples like the famous Duesenberg and Ferrari nameplates. Along side his 1937 Alfa Romeo 8C2900 Spyder, an unusually sleek piece of automotive history that has won recognition in some of the world's finest car shows, including the Pebble Beach Concours d' Elegance. Mozart enjoys vintage racing and has many of his racing cars on display.
Many of Mozart's 100 cars are priceless in todays world. Today, Mozart's collection is world-renown. A search on the Internet turns up numerous references and photos of him driving his cars on racetracks such as the famous Laguna Seca in Salinas.
All of the restoration is done by his crew in the adjoining “auto shop”. They have the ability to fix anything on a car — and sometimes have pieces manufactured when they are no longer available.
The building which features walls of an unusual composition. The walls are translucent, but not transparent. Grids of small lights are attached to the metal-framed ceiling to bounce off black granite floors, providing just the right amount of light to make the cars "pop” in the light.
The Mozart museum is used only for charitable events, and opened up to car clubs. Join us for a private tour of this unique collection.
Photography and /or videotape is NOT permitted and striclty enforced.
Registration Deadline for this event is February 16, 2013. Due to confidentiality, we will send you the address when you register via email.
