Linda, I want to thank you again, for allowing us to share our Red E Fox 9-1-1 program with your guests at the museum. This is the 3rd year that we have been involved in this event and it continues to get better every year!. There was a great turn out and we made lots of contacts with the children of the community. You have a wonderful organization that is certainly an asset to the City of Allentown our residents, and visitors. Thank you again for allowing us to participate. Please keep us in mind for future events.

Years ago I can recall admiring the meatpacking building, that the museum now occupies, from the road. So much so I actually got out of my car and walked around it thinking what a great building for something really special. Just toured the museum and then had the opportunity to speak with Linda Merkel, the director. America On Wheels is truly redefining what museums mean to a community. A special group of people who care about their organization and the community of Allentown.

We visited your museum this past Wednesday and had such a wonderful time! Our 11 year old son had a blast taking pictures of all the old cars, our 8 year old copied about 12 license plates upstairs and our 5 year old put about 100 miles on the Mack truck! Then, they all enjoyed coloring in the coloring books when we got home. Your museum is kid-friendly, adult informative (Yes, I do want to know why I can't fix my car anymore...) and an all around pleasure to visit. Thank you!

I would like to thank you and your staff for the great day at the Cars 2 World Tour. It meant alot to us to see the look on our daughter's face when she got to see her favorite movie characters up close. My wife and I both agreed it was well put together and extremely well organized for the mass amount of people that arrived. Thank you so very much from my wife, myself, and especially my daughter.

Sincerely,

Linda,
Thank you for allowing us to share our Red E. Fox / 9-1-1 Public Education Program with your guests at the Child Safety Day event today. The turnout was fantastic and we were able to make many contacts with the children that attended. You and your staff should be very proud of the facility and programs that you have developed. The museum is certainly an asset to the citizens and the City of Allentown. Thank you again for allowing us to participate in your event. Please keep us in mind for other similar programs.

Dear Liz, On behalf of Volvo Sports America, I want to thank you for your hospitality this past weekend. Our membership enjoyed a wonderful day at the museum. I heard many compliments from the membership in attendance about your displays. The staff accommodated our every need. I cannot say enough about their courtesy to VSA. Liz you were a big help in bringing this to reality and it was a pleasure to work with you. Linda Merkel was there to greet us Saturday morning, and to assure everything went smoothly for us. We hope this was an equally enjoyable experience for America on Wheels. I can foresee us coming back in the future. I know our members will be good will ambassadors for the museum, and spread the good word. Liz, again many thanks, and I hope your museum gets the praise it deserves and continues to grow.

See you in the fast lane,
Bruce Potter, President Volvo Sports America

Liz, and the Docents: Our group thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the museum. I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the museum and how well modes of transportation were displayed. There was a lot of reminiscing occurring as we viewed the exhibits. A special thanks is extended to the docents whose knowledge of the subject gave excellent and fascinating information. I am so pleased that we had this opportunity.

Dear Linda, Thank you for the excellent tour and experience that you and your staff provided to our VIP guests from China. They commented very favorably on the museum, in particular the 1930 Hupmobile. Pete was a great tour guide for us and the entire morning went very well. I enjoyed the museum myself and will try to figure a way to get my father in law there as well. Overall a very good experience - thanks from all of us at MINTEQ.

Hi Liz – This is just a quick thank you for all your help with our event last Tuesday. You have a beautiful site with fascinating displays which our guests enjoyed tremendously. Even more important, all of the staff (especially you, Linda, and Paul) seemed ready to help and focused on service. On behalf of all the staff at ABC and our members who attended the banquet, thank you very much for making sure we had a positive and memorable evening.

Best regards,

Dear Liz, After looking at many locations in the Allentown, PA we were delightfully surprised at the attendance at our Expo which was held at your lovely museum on May 26th. During these tumultuous economic times, it has been difficult to find venues, which will interest a wide variety of customers. The America on Wheels museum provided the perfect locale to interest customers from all walks of life. The Allentown location also allowed us to pull in customers from a wide geographic area. I want to thank everyone at the museum for their help in making the event a complete success. We already have been told by both the vendors and customers that attended the we need to make this an annual event. Thanks again for your hospitality,

Sincerely,
Jim Bolton

I just wanted to thank you for the opportunity to work with America on Wheels for our fundraiser. Those who attended really enjoyed the opportunity to visit the museum. I have visited Greenfield Village many times in Detroit and was wondering how America on Wheels could tell the auto industry story locally. Well, you have certainly done a great job!!! Your well informed and friendly volunteers helped make the exhibition come alive and are excellent.

Thanks you for partnering with us. I certainly will visit again when my grandchildren are in town from Ohio.
