- Welcome to the first episode of Active Matter, our new UA-cam series! This in-depth series will give viewers unprecedented access to the behind-the-scenes work at our museum, workshop, and library. With over 120 historically significant vehicles to keep in working order, we want to share how our diverse team draws on many different disciplines to preserve the automobile and automotive culture for future generations.
This first episode focuses on the 1953 Cunningham C-5R, which placed third overall at Le Mans seventy years ago. Known as the ‘Smiling Shark,’ this thoroughly American racecar is truly one of one. Interviews with Miles C. Collier ("The Archaeological Automobile") and Matt Farah (Road & Track, @TheSmokingTire) offer insights into the car's history and handling. Introduced too is the term “active matter” and how it shapes our mission. Future episodes will feature a car on display at the museum, its story, and the people responsible for its preservation. The series will offer a front-row seat for the challenges that face our team, involving viewers in the experience of keeping these 'active artifacts' alive.

More of this content please!!!! Incredible video!
This was great, thank you. Looking forward to further episodes.
So glad you enjoyed it! Be sure to subscribe to be alerted whenever we post a new video.
Stunning. I truly will make the journey to visit the Institute.
Please do!
Thank you for this series. It gives the cars an opportunity to tell their own stories.
Going back 9 years to the opening day for the public at the collection I remember walking into the Cunningham room and being blown away!! Every room you walked into left you blown away...but seeing them all together in such a display was an absolute treat. I can't even imagine seeing this car being run at the track 🤯
Please let me know when you guys come back to Lime Rock 🙏🏻🏎️💨
Thanks for the kind words. Be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook, we'll post when we plan to attend events!
I discovered this channel through Roadscholars, and I'm impressed by its exceptional content. Keep up the tremendous efforts guys!!🙌😊
Thank you so much! We look forward to adding more episodes very soon.
Wonderful presentation of the C-5R and Mr. Cunningham’s quest. Well done.
Thank you!
What a great presentation. Thanks for making it available to us fans that have gotten to ill to travel.
Wonderful history lesson for us "car guys" and an excellent video presentation! Did the Revs build a track nearby? (I was there 2 years ago and didn't see one). Mr. Collier, please make more of these wonderful short videos about your collection, with you telling the story of each of these rare machines.
Thank you for the kind words! We used the track at the Concours Club for this video.
@@TheRevsInstitute Please produce more of these excellent "shorts'. I live just up the road in Fort Myers and having visited the REVS (and being overwhelmed) you have enough for years of history lessons. REVS is "The Met" for car lovers!
Amazing video. Glad to see Cunningham's Le Mans efforts are being recognized and not lost to history. Such an important part of American sports car racing.
May I suggest the '58 Scarab Mk2 for a future episode? Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent - greatly appreciate the video and the work of the Revs Institute. RJ
Our pleasure!
