Until tomorrow, you can see the 1981 DMC DeLorean in front of the US Capitol: That’s right, the annual Cars at the Capital exhibit, which celebrates automotive history, began last Friday and runs until September 30. The event showcases the National Historic Vehicle Registry’s newest inductees in a glass display case where you can learn more about famous automobiles.
Starting Friday, the featured car will be the 1970 Dodge Challenger known as the “Black Ghost,” a legend in Detroit street-racing. Week 3 will feature the 1921 Duesenberg Straight Eight, a Harding-era muscle car. The final week belongs to the 1979 Lamborghini Countach Tara Buckman and Adrienne Barbeau drove in The Cannonball Run.
