Last Sunday the museum had a one day record attendance of 550 persons and the 3,800 visitors during July were just 'slightly below the record for the month, set in 1964. Herbert Robinson, museum president, says he is hopeful the crowds will continue to increase at the Simcoe Street South mus- eum. And to help, museum offic- ials have asked the department of transport to install direction signs on the Macdonald-Cartier Freeway, similiar to those for the Pickering nuclear generat- ing station. So far, the request has been unsuccessful. The most recent major exhibit at the museum, and an approp- riate one during centennial year is a steam buggy built by a Quebec man 100 years ago. It is the first car built in Canada. The museum preserves a vital segment of the history of Osh- awa. The automobile has "carr- ied" Oshawa's name far and| wide.

"In 1925, the life ex- pectancy of a car was only 26,060 miles before it was junk- ed. By 1961, 100,000 was the life expectancy and year later, an- other 10,000 miles was added through technical advance,"* Mr. Brennen said. The museum houses one of the first cars ever produced in Oshawa, the 1932 McLaughlin Buick. It also houses steam, electric and gasoline cars of yesteryear. Not only is it a history of Oshawa's endeavors in the auto industry but it is a valuable asset to school children who normally only see the cars in pictures in their history books, "It shows the school children S\that are situated on two floors|the historic, contemporary and in the museum and the whole|futuristic aspects of the auto atmosphere displays the think-| industry in Oshawa and the rest of Canada," said Mr. Brennen.
