点评:Men love cars. And they love to visit car museums. Big or small. No matter, you never know what you'll see. Take the Edge Motor Museum in Memphis, for example. Located at 645 Marshall Avenue, in the same neighborhood as such iconic tourist attractions as Beale Street, Graceland and Sun Records, in the same building that was built in the 1920s as the Cherokee Motors automobile showroom and assembly plant, it is a small venue that displays 20 to 25 vehicles at a time. Open from 10:30 to 5 Monday through Friday, 11 to 3 on Saturday and noon to 4 on Sunday, the museum tracks the cultural, economic, political and technological trends that helped to mold the cars into a reflection of the era. It has displayed a number of unique vehicles, including Doris Day's Muntz Jet, a 1949 Crosley Hotshot that was the first car to win the 12 hours of Sebring, a Glasspar G2 and a 1962 Shark Roadster. As someone who once owned a classic bachelor/muscle car, a 1964 Pontiac Grand Prix 429 High Output with three deuces and four on the floor, I was genuinely interested with a dozen iconic sports cars from the post-war United States to the 1970s, including Corvettes and Lamborghinis and Thunderbirds. Sorry, no Ferraris. Also on display were a 1929 Ford Model A Speedster, 1926 Duesenberg Model A, 1961 Shark, 1958 Thor, 1959 Devin Salerno Special, 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster, 1938 Delahaye Pontheon and 2005 Ford GT.
翻译:男人们爱车,也爱参观汽车博物馆,无论大小。无论如何,你永远不知道会看到什么。以孟菲斯的埃奇汽车博物馆为例。它位于马歇尔大道645号,与比尔街、雅园和太阳唱片等标志性旅游景点同处一区,坐落于20世纪20年代切诺基汽车公司(Cherokee Motors)的展厅和装配厂旧址。这座小型博物馆一次展出20到25辆汽车。博物馆周一至周五上午10:30至下午5:00开放,周六上午11:00至下午3:00开放,周日中午12:00至下午4:00开放。博物馆追溯了塑造汽车的文化、经济、政治和技术趋势,这些趋势最终使汽车成为时代的缩影。馆内曾展出过许多独特的车辆,包括多丽丝·黛的蒙茨喷气式汽车(Muntz Jet)、第一辆赢得赛百灵12小时耐力赛的1949年克罗斯利Hotshot、Glasspar G2以及1962年的Shark Roadster。我曾经拥有一辆经典的单身汉/肌肉车——1964 年款庞蒂亚克 Grand Prix 429 高输出版,配备三个双化油器和四个手动变速箱——因此,我对展出的十几款从战后美国到 20 世纪 70 年代的标志性跑车非常感兴趣,其中包括克尔维特、兰博基尼和雷鸟。抱歉,没有法拉利。展出的还有 1929 年款福特 A 型 Speedster、1926 年款杜森伯格 A 型、1961 年款 Shark、1958 年款 Thor、1959 年款 Devin Salerno Special、1957 年款梅赛德斯-奔驰 300 SL Roadster、1938 年款德拉哈耶 Pontheon 和 2005 年款福特 GT。
