🎵 August 30 Music Moment

On August 30, 1979, The Cars released their hit single “Let’s Go,” a track that helped define the late 70s rock sound. With its bright energy and catchy beat, the song became one of their signature hits.

Honestly, you have to love the coincidence — a band named The Cars releasing a song called Let’s Go, and decades later, it’s still a song that makes you want to hit the road.

— Science Beyond the Textbook —

On this day in 1965
Gemini V returned to Earth after setting a new space endurance record. It wasn’t just a mission… it was a reminder that the biggest discoveries don’t happen only on paper.

Science is curiosity, courage, and exploration — the kind you can’t always find in a textbook. From rockets in the sky to engines on the road, innovation comes from those willing to push past the page and see what’s possible.

On August 25, 1939

The Wizard of Oz premiered in U.S. theaters, ushering in a new era of imagination and innovation during Hollywood’s Golden Age.

Just like the film transformed entertainment, the automotive world was evolving too — new technology, bold ideas, and designs that pushed boundaries.

At the Museum of Automobiles, we celebrate those moments when creativity takes the wheel and drives history forward.
