Some librarians came to visit the display. It was enjoyed by all one said "I enjoyed seeing the new Automotive History Exhibit by Al Mach at the Landes Arts Center this afternoon. I highly recommend it! As usual, he has an authentic collection of historic photos with supplementary material from newspapers, etc. to document the facts -- all displayed with extraordinary artistic appeal." Nice review from a respected educator!
The Mountain State Classic Region of AACA meeting was held at the Landes Arts Center. Before and after the meeting members were able to see the display "Our Automotive Heritage". Many favorable comment were heard. One said he worked at the Smithsonian and the display was better in Petersburg, WV than what was at the Smithsonian. He said it was much better arranged and organized.
It is a fantastic show! AB
I was amazed to see such a huge, comprehensive, interesting, and wonderful display in such a small town. Much nicer than anything I have seen elsewhere even when traveling to large cities! CJ
If you have the opportunity, go see this amazing collection of Al Mach. I spent Saturday afternoon at the Landes Art Center admiring Al's collection. You will be extremely happy if you go by. WS
That was an amazing display! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!!! VM
I was there two weekends ago for my gr niece's Spring something pageant. I saw the photos all around and looked at them. AWESOME photography and gee, what can I say about the autos? But, loved the diversity and variety of photos and how each one had its own view and personality for the auto. Fascinating and a tribute to the automotive industry but mostly the proud owners of these classics. CHZ
Many thanks to Al Mach for his “Our Automotive Heritage” display and presentation at the Landes Arts Center. Petersburg is fortunate to have the wonderful Landes Arts Center, a competent center director in Louie Alt, and an artist with the ability of Al Mach willing to freely share his creations with everyone You gotta go!

went to check out Al Mach's auto exhibit at the arts center in Petersburg. Very impressive display, plus I got to meet Ed and Al, and had a chat with Louie. Anyone interested in cars or early Petersburg history would find it well worth your time. SM
