Reviving Salvador Dalí’s Rainy Taxi at the Dali Museum in St Pete, FL
Salvador Dalí, the grandmaster of surrealism, was celebrated for his eccentric and thought-provoking creations. Among his most playful works was the "Rainy Taxi," first unveiled at the 1938 International Surrealist Exhibition in Paris. But the Rainy Taxi's journey didn’t end there. Dalí recreated it in New York in 1939 and later in his hometown of Figueres, Spain, using his own prized Cadillac. The original installation in Paris featured a vintage taxi, modified to rain inside, drenching mannequins seated in the car. The effect was both shocking and humorous, turning the familiar into the fantastical-a true embodiment of surrealism’s unexpected juxtapositions.
In a tribute to Dalí's genius, the Tampa Bay Automobile Museum has collaborated with the Dalí Museum in St. Pete, Florida, to revive this iconic piece of surrealism. The result? The "Rainy Rolls," a modern-day homage that carries forward the spirit of Dalí's original creation.
The centerpiece of this revival is a 1933 Rolls-Royce Sedanca. Instead of real rain, Alain Cerf, founder of the Tampa Bay Automobile Museum, devised an innovative rain panel system that creates the illusion of rain inside the car without causing any damage. The result is a surrealist illusion-a rain shower on wheels-perfectly encapsulating Dalí’s vision.
Peer through the window, and you’ll find yourself in Dalí’s world, where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and where rain inside a car is just the beginning of the journey.

When Ed Cole was made Chief Engineer of Chevy, one of the first things he did was set up a research and development department. Cole was convinced that there was a growing market for smaller cars, especially those with unusual engineering. The Corvair was sure to impress with its air-cooled, rear engine. The trick was convincing the President of General Motors, Harlow Curtice - who believed tha...

This car is more closely related to a train locomotive than it is to any modern car.
The large white resistor under the car could be a Dynamic Braking Resistor. You can slow down a car, elevator, or crane by letting the weight load overdrive the electric motor, turning it into a generator. Generators convert kinetic energy, motion, into electrical energy. For that to work, you must use that electrical energy. Regenerative Braking can use that energy to recharge a battery, unless the battery has a full charge already. Dynamic Braking feeds that energy to a resistor, which converts and dissipates that energy as heat. You can do both. In 1916, they probably used Dynamic Braking. I taught this stuff at Dunwoody in Minnesota, and now volunteer at the Forney Museum in Denver. We have a 1916 Detroit Electric car, similar to the one Clara Ford drove.

Diesel or gasoline?
BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Next visit to Tampa Bay area, I'll be there!
Rear engine cars inherently swing out in a turn if not properly driven. This is why Porsche tried to kill the 911. Later the Corvair got the Stinger package, which had more scoot. Beautiful example of the Corvair convertible.
Not true, they drive like any other vehicle. Only when you drive them beyond what they were designed for do you notice the rear engine. I’ve been driving them for over forty years . Daily at one time. I have a 63 spyder convertible , this one is turbo charged. It also has the swing axle rear suspension that got such a bad rep. Drives just fine.
@waynemcmullen1933 you've owned a 1:64 scale hotwheel for 40 years, maybe. It's simple physics. I've owned rear engine cars. Put a lot of weight on one side of a car, and it's going to change the driving dynamics. Whether it's a sports car or a pickup truck full of lumber.
Check the timing and the coil!
I visited yesterday for the first time. What an amazing place and this car was my favourite. John was a wealth of knowledge about many of the vehicles. Thanks for preserving and using these.
Little great car!
I've been trying to understand what's going on here for like 20 mins. I event looked at entz patents but I guess I'm dumb. Is it just a generator set on the crank and a motor on the "driven" end sharing a shaft and case?

On display in St. Petersburg Florida.
Jay Leno has one. They are beautiful
Excellent video
SORRY..... WRONG ! STUDEBAKER WAS NOT THE FIRST AMERICAN CAR WITH DISC BRAKES ....Crosley is unquestionably the first American manufacturer,Crosley 1949 was the first auto manufacturer to offer modern-style disc brakes on a production automobile The Indiana-built 1949 Crosley was fitted with Goodyear/Hawley disc brakes on all four wheels. the calipers, initially designed for airplanes
First, really deal with the car and read everything about it, then drive the car so that nothing breaks! This applies most importantly to the height of the chassis when driving!!! The GS is too high here!!! The rear wheels have to be covered by the body up to the rim, then the ride height is correct. This shouldn't happen to a car museum. You should keep the cars in good condition and not cause them to break down due to a lack of knowledge. The poor Citroen GS Birotor from Luxembourg.😢
The name “Birotor” is written together and not separated with a hyphen. That's what it says on the type plate on the trunk lid... First read it, then write it correctly in the video name... This will probably be the only GS Birotor in the USA!? Take good care of it and don't drive it broken because it's at the wrong height! There are no more spare parts!!!
Thats very bad , theres no power ,you clearly seen that in the video
That's a very bouncy ride for a GS.
سيارة جميلة
I think that the car is not in the right height……you will destroy the suspension
booo
Your right, I think it's set on the service height which will give the car a very firm ride.
Agreed. I had one of these. The ride shouldn't be that hard and bouncy. They are kinda cool and quirky cars with some innovative features. It's a shame the rotted away so easily in the UK climate.
Yes it should be adjusted so that at least a third of the rear wheels is covered.
The car has a similar version of the twin rotor engine used in NSU Ro 80 … both companies are founders of Comotor a jointventure company to develop rotary engines according to Felix Wankel‘s Patent..
Automatic spark advance was way ahead of it’s time
Not to shabby for 1916 technology...pity it's taken 107 years to get hybrids
P r o m o s m 🎶
I want one!
Isn’t it astounding that the 9A got a stated 40 mpg? Interesting we haven’t really improved on that today. Fascinating automobile.
why think when you can just copycat others' thoughts. At slow road speeds (60-70Km/h) many cars from the 90s on outperform those 40mpg (almost 6l/100km), and even cruising at 120km/h you find modern petrol engines with a lot of punch doing around 5l/100km
I was looking into this claim, but it is hard to find some actual numbers. I found a PDF that mentioned a speed of 20mph somewhere. While, given this video, it looks like the car could drive faster than that, best fuel consumption is hardly ever reached at top speed, as air resistance increases with about the square of the air velocity. I saw that a world record for a "normal" car was set by a Honda Jazz at over 95 mpg, whereas the average fuel consumption is advertised at around 60 mpg at modern speeds.
Nice! Did you have the urge to drive it on the wrong side of the road? Innovative tech for it's day for sure!
When did that say that? Lmao
So its like my Prius then :D :D
except that one cell in the pack wont go bad and take the whole car down with it
@@yankeedoodle7693 400,000 miles and still counting - not gone bad yet ;)
@@yankeedoodle7693 That doesn't happen in a Prius either. My 240k km Gen2 Prius is running like new. And if even one cell, or even a couple of cells, were to go bad, it's not too expensive to have one block (not the entire battery) replaced. Best car I've ever had.
Jeez you don’t see those too often. Congratulations
Great acquisition! Avanti had discs up front and drums in the rear. Studebaker’s hope was Avanti would stimulate sales of their Lark and Gran Turismo Hawk. It didn’t, and interest in Avanti dissipated when they couldn’t produce them fast enough to satisfy initial demand. If you’re going to own an orphan, this is one of the best. And it’s an R2!!
Yea explain
wait what happened? i’m not too caught up
In 1982, in a desperate attempt to raise funds for the Delorean Motor Company, John Delorean entered into a deal involving drug trafficking. He was arrested for this, and his lawyer successfully demonstrated to the court that Delorean was coerced into this deal by FBI undercover informants. Delorean was found not guilty, but the damage this publicity did to his reputation was one of the final nails in the coffin for DMC.
@@tampabayautomobilemuseum oh okay thanks
Os antigos sabiam muito…..
A 4x4 Mustang! What a beast a 4x4 Shelby 350 could have been!
Great video! Love the comparisons and contrast between the two vehicles. Also, brings to light how hold EV actually are.
Thank you!
The 1922 engineering and design is really impressive.
This summer I was lucky enough to admire the entire car museum in person. Thanks to the owner, it was a wonderful experience.
Thanks for visiting! We love having our viewers stop by and talk to us!
