After the turn of the century, the development of the automobile profoundly changed American life.
Here, at the Frick’s Car and Carriage Museum, visitors can travel back to the time of carriages,
and see some of the first horseless carriages to have an impact on Pittsburgh. Henry Clay Frick’s
1914 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost touring car and Howard Heinz’s 1898 Panhard (reputed to be the first
car in Pittsburgh) are both included in a display over 20 vintage automobiles which illustrate
the story of Pittsburgh’s place in automotive history. An award-winning video, Pittsburgh and the
Automobile, alternates throughout the day with a new short film, The Stanley Steamer. Through
archival film, original footage and interviews, visitors
are taken on a humorous and fascinating ride through the early years of automotive history.
