TRANSFORMERS TO VISIT LANE MOTOR MUSEUM
Nashville, TN - A new group of vehicles is making its way into the Lane Motor Museum that will surely capture the hearts of enthusiasts young and old: Transformers.
Transformers are a popular series of action figures that can be shifted from a robot into an animal, device, or, most commonly, a vehicle. While the toy line was originally introduced in the 1980s, it has gained a recent revival thanks largely to a series of live-action movies and the reintroduction of the figures themselves.
The extensive collection of Transformer models, generously provided by Nashville local Lucas Leverett, will be on display at the museum from July 15 until August 12, and will feature popular characters Optimus Prime and BumbleBee, as well as many other favorite characters from both the original and modern series.
If visitors look closely in the garage at Lane Motor Museum, they will spy an incredibly rare vehicle: the six-wheeled Citroen CX Tissier. This car is the root inspiration for the character of Rodimus Prime, successor to Optimus Prime in the 1986 Transformers animated film. Transformers and car enthusiasts alike will rarely glimpse this car, but Lane provides an excellent chance to see the real-life car.
Leverett is a lifelong Transformers enthusiast, and his love of the series and all things "geek" inspired him to work with and eventually chair both the Middle TN Anime Convention and Geek Media Expo, annual events aimed at bringing together like-minded fans. His next event, the Geek Media Expo Volume 3, takes place in October. To learn more about either event, visit http://MTAC.net or http://GeekMediaExpo.com.
Lane Motor Museum features 150 unique cars and motorcycles dating from the 1920s to modern models, and includes amphibious vehicles, microcars, prototypes, and much more. For more information on hours of operation or admission prices, visit http://lanemotormuseum.org.
