The Inside Lane - 1936 Aero 30

Welcome to The Inside Lane, where we give you a quick rundown of some of the more notable pieces of Lane Motor Museum's collection.
On this episode, we’ll take a look at one of our crowd favorites, the 1936 Aero 30. Aero was an aviation and aircraft company, and first broke into the car manufacturing industry with their cycle cars. The Aero 30 was first introduced in 1934, as their first successful front-wheel drive car. Aero eventually stopped making cars in 1947, but the company continues to make aircrafts to this day under the name Aero Vodochody.
The Aero 30’s classic lines and two-toned finish make it one of Lane Motor Museum’s favorites among visitors.
Lane Motor Museum is one of the few museums in the U.S. to specialize in European cars. The Museum also showcases specialized cars, historically significant cars, and prototypes and home-built one-offs. It is a working museum with the goal of maintaining all vehicles in running order. Some cars are in showroom condition, while others represent typical aging. Efforts are made to restore each vehicle to near-original specifications.
The Museum has been developed in a well-known Nashville landmark, the former Sunbeam Bakery on Murfreesboro Pike. Home to the bread company beginning in 1951, the 132,000 square-foot facility was the largest and most modern bakery in the area at the time of its opening. The bakery building, outfitted for the museum’s needs but left with many of its original characteristics, has a high ceiling, natural light, and hand-crafted brick and maple wood flooring. The architectural style complements the age of the cars represented. The main floor has approximately 40,000 square feet of open space, ideal for displaying about 150 of the museum’s total 560-vehicle collection.

Very nice looking car, and I love how after years of looking up classic cars online, I'm still coming across cars I didn't previously know about.

I loved my visit there!!! You have got to see the wide variety of vehicles under their roof. Don't forget to see the LARC.
