Our newest team member, Jess Moser, began training for her new role at the museum here on Monday, June 24th. She will be assuming the role of Administrative/Digital Marketing Assistant, taking the reins of Classic Car Collection’s online presence within the coming month. From Facebook to WordPress, she’ll be supervising the ins and outs of social media posts, reviews, and web design alongside the usual office management and upkeep.

“We’re very excited to have such a bright, engaging individual on our team, and we cannot wait to see what Jess brings to the table,” says Kaitlin Schneider, the outgoing marketing supervisor. “Jess’s background in English and Communications is sure to be an excellent addition to the Collection, and her avid desire to learn about cars makes her an ideal staff member–she’ll fit right in here.” Welcome, Jess!

On February 16, 2019, Classic Car Collection loaded up our 1939 Cadillac Convertible to display during the Tri-City Street Rods & Auto Exhibition. The Saturday and Sunday exhibition sported over 100 vehicles, and our own Cadillac won a “Best in Class” trophy!

Joshua Young is a University of Nebraska at Kearney alumnus, finishing his undergrad in Recreation Management in 2002 and his Masters of Business Administration in 2017.

His love of classic cars, community relationships and event planning will come in handy as he takes on the role of General Manager at the Classic Car Collection.

(The below photos were taken at a small gathering today to welcome Josh to the Collection and allow volunteers, staff, and family members to meet the new general manager.)

On Thursday, approximately 235 people checked in at the Classic Car Collection as a part of the 2017 Glidden Tour. The tour made stops in other towns such as Red Cloud, Minden, Holdrege, and stayed in Hastings. We had a blast meeting all of the different people and seeing the classic cars. In addition to stopping at the Collection, members of the tour also made a stop at the Arch, seeing two of Kearney’s fantastic museums!

Below is a brief video slideshow created from photos taken during the Kearney stop.
