A article in the Illinois Beacon News reports that the owner of the Volo Auto Museum has opened his private auto vault for Mother’s Day. Moms were allowed to have their pictures taken sitting in cars not usually on display, such as a Rolls Royce used by Princess Diana, Don Johnson’s Ferrari from Miami Vice, and Julia Roberts’ Lotus from Pretty Woman.
“Normally I wouldn’t let anyone touch them, let alone sit in them,” the owner says in the article. “But I thought this year I’m going to do something special for the moms.”
Other attractions might consider pursuing similar holiday tie-ins, forging linkages even more natural than moms in cars. For example, the Tree Root That Ate Rogers Williams could dragged outdoors as a photo-op on Arbor Day; Centralia (a town being consumed by an underground fire) could open its steaming roads to daredevil drivers on Ash Wednesday; and the Chief Baconrind statue could be draped in festive bunting every September, which as we all know is All American Breakfast Month.
