Night at the Museum

The 2025 Night at the Museum (NATM) program focused on “Marques & Milestones.” The annual appreciation and fundraising event took place on October 7, 2025, coinciding with the start of the yearly AACA Hershey Fall Meet. The event featured storied vehicles from our collection of over 300 vehicles. These examples highlighted significant occasions in motoring history.

  Represented by a 1932 Studebaker, Model 55 St. Regis Brougham, and presented by American Pickers’ Robbie Wolfe

• Recognition for the legacy of bus transportation represented by our 1986 GM “Speed” movie bus, and presented by Museum Executive Director Jeffrey Bliemeister.

Along with sharing compelling stories, Night at the Museum celebrated the mission and accomplishments of preserving and presenting the history of automobiles and transportation. The event provided the perfect platform to honor and recognize individuals who have made exceptionally significant contributions to the automotive hobby.

NATM welcomed Robbie Wolfe, star of the hit show “American Pickers.” Wolfe has been hunting for “unknown treasures” since he was eight. Over the years, he has built an extensive collection of old Americana, vintage cars, and advertising memorabilia. Museum Executive Director Jeffrey Bliemeister said, “We’re excited to have Robbie as our special guest. His appreciation for vintage vehicles will add a unique perspective to the evening.” Robbie will attend the event’s reception and present the story of our 1932 Studebaker, Model 55 St. Regis Brougham.

The AACA Museum, Inc. Automotive Heritage Award will be posthumously presented to Richard O. Ullman. Mr. Ullman, who passed away in 2011, was an innovative entrepreneur who founded two successful enterprises, National Prescription Administrators, Inc., and Benecard Services, Inc. He was a devoted family man and strongly believed in giving back. As a young man, he never drove the same car for long and always looked for another project car to turn into something special. He loved cars, turned his passion into a lifelong hobby, and built a diverse collection. He generously supported the Museum in many ways, and the Richard O. Ullman Family Foundation Gallery is named in his honor. Mr. Ullman’s family will accept the award on his behalf.
