Through this third installment of Owls Head Transportation Museum’s “What Drives Us” spring education series you will hear the story of film star Clara Bow and see her one-of-a-kind 1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom Derby Tourer which is part of OHTM’s collection! The event will include screening of two of Bow’s films, as well as a lecture by Education Director Megan Galinsky on the actress and her rare vehicle.

This car was built specifically for Clara Bow as an engagement gift because she ‘couldn't get a car that would go fast enough!’ Spend the day watching her movies, hearing her story and seeing the Rolls-Royce engagement gift that left her speechless. Painted a creamy white with red spoked wheels and red interior, the vehicle is a veritable ‘rolling Valentine,’ complete with a custom bar in the rear seat!

Interest in Clara Bow’s career has experienced a renewed interest among younger audiences recently, as “Clara Bow” is the title song from Taylor Swift’s latest album.
