    Gifts of Gratitude

    CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA - As a nonprofit cultural resource, Savoy Automobile Museum relies on the support of others. Gifts of Gratitude is an exhibition showcasing automobiles that have been generously donated to the Museum’s permanent collection. On exhibit from September 6, 2022 through October 30, 2022.
     
    “The support of the car culture community has been overwhelming,” says Tom Shinall, director of development at Savoy. “In the four years leading up to our opening, we were actively meeting people and building relationships. As a nonprofit, we are extremely grateful to tell the stories of these automobiles that are helping build the Savoy Collection, all the while creating legacies for these generous individuals and families.”
