Weekend Transportation & Logistics
Bringing the Lane Motor Museum collection to Artomobilia is its own kind of production. Six extraordinary cars leave Nashville midweek, spend Friday morning with the press at the Carmel Fire Department, roll into place on Rangeline Road Saturday, and return to Tennessee the following Monday. This page gathers every step of that journey in one place, so schedules, locations, and contacts stay clear and current for everyone involved.

The Collection
Six vehicles from Lane Motor Museum, each unusual in its own right:
1932 Helicron. A one-of-a-kind, propeller-driven French car found in a barn in 2000. Still road-legal in France, pushed along by a propeller spinning at its nose.
1959 Citroën ID 19. The elegant French saloon whose hydropneumatic self-leveling suspension and aerodynamic shape put it decades ahead of its time.
1964 Peel P-50 Replica. A nod to the Guinness-record smallest production car ever made. 54 inches long, around 130 pounds, with no reverse gear. You drag it by a handle.
2013 Peel Trident Replica. The bubble-topped, clear-domed two-seat sibling of the P50. A microcar that looks straight out of a 1960s space cartoon.
1958 Tatra T-603. The streamlined, air-cooled rear-V8 Czech saloon with a dorsal fin and a dark legend. So many German officers died driving its 100-mph chassis that they were reportedly banned from it.
1963 Amphicar 770. The most successful amphibious car ever built. A convertible that swims on twin propellers and carries the highest tailfins of any production car.
Artomobilia Technical Event Map
The event footprint map is the master placement document for Artomobilia, showing where every vehicle group, sponsor activation, and feature display sits across the full show. Rangeline Road anchors the layout, with the display running north to south along Main Street and the surrounding blocks, and the Awards Area staged separately with its stage and tent. Each labeled block on the map corresponds to a registered group, from the judged classes and marque Paloozas (Porsche, Lotus, BMW, Mercedes) to sponsor and partner placements and featured collections like the Lane Motor Museum cars. Teams use it to coordinate staging, load-in, and on-site positioning, and to give sponsors and partners a clear picture of where they will be located throughout the event.
Weather
Indiana’s weather is predictably unpredictable. Check the forecast and wear what’s appropriate… That could be a jacket, a rain coat or a T-shirt. Our events always run in both liquid sunshine or actual sunshine, we always hope for the latter.
