1951 Harley Davidson “Police” Servi-Car
First introduced in 1932, the Harley Davidson Servi-Car sourced it’s drive-train from current Harley rolling stock until the model run ended in 1973. Numerous businesses saw their appeal over the decades, but mostly in police departments around the country as meter maids and traffic control. The throttle was moved to the left handlebar on the “Police” models so officers could mark tires and write tickets to the right or curbside of the roadway. Fewer than 300 of these “Police” models were built in 1951.
Duo-Art Player Piano Joins the Collection
The Tallahassee Automobile Museum has another first. The Duo-Art Player Piano was a new invention in the early 1900’s. A new acquisition on display is a 1914 George Steck Duo-Art Reproducing Player Piano. 1914 was the first year that the Aeolian Company, mother company of the George Steck line of pianos at the time, manufactured the Duo-Art Pianola.
The Duo-Art Reproducing Piano was a specialized type of player piano that played with expression like a real person. Most player pianos rely on the person sitting at the piano to control the speed and dynamics, while a reproducing player piano has a lot of extra perforations in the music roll that control all dynamics from within, hence reproducing a live performance.
Come and see another first of its kind marvel at the Tallahassee Automobile Museum!
TAM Welcomes Another One-of-a-Kind Steinway Piano!
The “Concours” is a one-of-a-kind concept piano inspired by show cars from the Concours d’Elegance. This piano was unveiled on March 27, 2015 at the Steinway & Sons Dealer Meeting held at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. The traditional case of the piano has been expertly restyled to round out body corners and conceal the keybed. Legs were redesigned to give the appearance of an elegant car’s fluid continuity. A boldly -styled line was added to the treble side of the piano, lending dimension to a normally flat shape. You won’t find it ANYWHERE else but at the Tallahassee Automobile Museum!
