Vintage 1966 Lamborghini 2R Tractor at the Savoy Automobile Museum

Lamborghini Tractor Photos

One of the coolest exhibits at the Savoy Automobile Museum in Cartersville, Georgia, is a pair of Lamborghinis. The first one to catch my eye was this beautiful 1966 Lamborghini 2R Tractor.

Powered by a 2.2 liter Diesel engine that put out 39 horsepower, it was a far cry from the modern Lamborghini sports cars that we see today.

But, the paint and restoration of this tractor are superb and it is a thing of functional beauty.

It has long been part of supercar legend and lore, that Ferruccio Lamborghini started to make sportscars because Enzo Ferrari dismissed his concerns about problems he was having with his Ferrari. The Savoy Automobile Museum is also blessed to display a Lamborghini Muira sportscar. It was neat to see both a Lamborghini sports car and a Lamborghini tractor in one place. I'll save the sportscar photos for another day.

Car Photos: 1954 Studebaker Commander Starliner Custom at the Savoy Automobile Museum

Sometimes it can be difficult to photograph a car in a museum setting and handle the reflections from lights and keep other people out of the photo.  Other times, the lighting can work out just right. The curves of this 1954 Studebaker Commander Starliner Custom coupe did amazing things with the museum lighting at the Savoy Automobile Museum in Cartersville, Georgia.

Here are some other photographs that I took of this great looking car. It looks like something Batman would drive.

Here is the interior of this custom car. I love the steering wheel and dashboard.

It's amazing to see a car that's long and lean with curves in all the right places.

For these photos, I used my Galaxy S21FE cellphone. It's hard to beat the convenience of a cellphone for casual photography. I was able to take these photos while touring the museum with my wife.


The Savoy Automobile Museum is located outside of Atlanta in the historic city of Cartersville, Georgia, on the edge of the Appalachian mountains. 

1953 Studebaker Starliner Model and Collector Tin by AMT (Amazon Photo)

If you are interested in building a model of the 1953 Studebaker Starliner, Amazon offers a cool one from AMT that comes in a collectible tin. It's a Level 2 model to assemble and would require paint and glue. You can get this Studebaker on Amazon here.
