Be aware that General Motors is the corporate sponsor and has underwritten half the cost of the exhibit.

  Here is what I could glean from the Smithsonian website on the
  Smithsonian Institution exhibition on transportation in American History
  Museum in Washington.    Anybody on receiving this who wants to make a
  joint day of it ... not necessarily the day the exhibition opens on Nov.
  19th?

  America on the Move
  Opening of Exhibition: November 19, 2003
  1st floor, east
  America on the Move takes visitors on a journey though the history of
  the United States-a history shaped by transportation. The exhibition
  uses multimedia technology and historical artifacts to create period
  settings around times and places where transportation changed American
  lives and landscapes. Visitors will be transported back in time and
  immersed in the sights, sounds and sensations of transportation in the
  U.S. from 1876 to the present. Among the 300 objects in the
  26,000-square-foot show will be a 1950s Chicago Transit Authority mass
  transit car, the 260-ton, 90-foot-long "1401" locomotive and a 1903
  Winton, the first car driven across the United States.

  Thanks Jim.....
