The Revs Institute - The Premier Destination for Automotive Research  Issue #3 Jan/Feb 2019

Special Presentation of Automotive Mascots

A recent visit to see The Revs Institute special presentation of automotive mascots, turned into a challenging, and exhilarating full day of, how can I possibly say everything there is to say about this wonderful institute in one short story?! The simple answer….  I can’t.

The sheer volume of quality automobilia merits numerous visits and stories, not just one.  Revs has the largest digitized collection of over 500,000 historic automotive photographs available to the public, with requests answered within 24 hours - yep, there’s a story. In addition to that, they have a climate controlled archival library with over 1000 posters, over 24,000 books, and amazingly original 1950s and ‘60s Porsche manuals.  Yep, there’s another story...or three!

Larger than Life Racing Legends from Robert Carter
​
Issue #19, Nov/Dec 2021
​
​Robert Carter grew up in London, England. When he was 13 years old, he went to the Tate Gallery in London on an educational school outing and fell in love with art. He didn’t want to leave, and his schoolteacher not only allowed him to wander the gallery for several hours but fanned this spark of interest by arranging and encouraging him to take many more field trips to numerous museums and art galleries throughout the city.
