Painting the Delorean corner this week. We discovered at least four different floor patterns used in the North Gallery over the last 57 years.

Our local MP, Colin Carrie (left), came by the museum last week to check out the 1908 McLaughlin Model F, which is on loan from General Motors. This vehicle is among the first of over 20 million that would be produced in Oshawa over the years. #oshawa #gmcanada #McLaughlin #Buick

A great article on the Fossmobile - the first gasoline powered automobile built in Canada from the CBC. https://www.cbc.ca//hamilt/fossmobile-burlington-1.5813092

We recently installed extra track lighting upstairs so the cars can really shine! #oshawa #museum #carmuseum #exploreontario #durhamtourism #discoverontario #canadacars

This Remembrance Day we honour those who served our country. This photograph from the February 1945 issue of the War-Craftsman shows Canadian troops in Holland using the Oshawa-built C15TA Armoured Truck, a tough and reliable troop transport that could also be used as an ambulance.

Stay safe this Thanksgiving weekend! The museum is open Saturday but closed Sunday and Monday.

Truck assembly is returning to Oshawa! Oshawa's automotive story continues. https://www.cp24.com//unifor-says-tentative-1-3b-deal-with
