Visiting the Museum of the Argentine Automobile Club, A Place of Relics in Time [ENG/ESP] (+40馃摳)
Knowing the past helps us to better understand our present and immerses us in a very meaningful experience for our lives. Places like this are full of great value.
Among so many places and museums in Buenos Aires I discovered this one in particular two days ago and decided to visit it. A museum of historic cars, relics as the title says that date from different periods ranging from the first cars that existed until the cars of the 1970s. It is a place that allows you to travel back in time, admire these vehicles and learn about our past.
Entre tantos lugares y museos de Buenos Aires descubr铆 茅ste en especial hace dos d铆as y decid铆 visitarlo. Un museo de autos hist贸ricos, unas reliquias como el t铆tulo lo dice que datan de distintos periodos que van desde los primeros autos que existieron hasta los autos de la d茅cada del 1970. Es un lugar que te permite viajar en el tiempo, admirar estos veh铆culos y conocer nuestro pasado.

For many car fanatics this place is a paradise, I am not particularly but I can say that I love to know places, plus I love to know, study and something quite particular is that I am very attracted to things of the past, which is why visiting this place was a very rewarding and exclusive experience.

The museum houses automobiles from the year 1892 being one of them the most important relic that has the place, each car has a writing where it specifies with details its characteristics and its functionality in its times. At that time these primitive cars were scarce and horse-drawn carts still reigned, which is why it was also very expensive to acquire one.
The different models that are exhibited here vary and the companies that manufactured them are detailed and among these brands are: Daimler (Germany), Benz (Germany), International Harvester Company (USA), Ford (USA), Morse (France), Hudson (USA), Krieger (France), Swift (England), Peugeot (France), and an Argentine national automobile called YRUAM.
El museo alberga autom贸viles desde el a帽o 1892 siendo uno de ellos la reliquia m谩s importante que tiene el lugar, cada auto tiene un escrito d贸nde especifica con detalles sus caracter铆sticas y su funcionalidad en sus tiempos. Para esa 茅poca eran escasos estos autos primitivos y a煤n reinaba el transporte de carretas a caballos, es por ello que tambi茅n era muy costoso poder adquirir uno.

The institution was founded in 1904 and is best known for providing the organization and supervision of motor sports in the country, however they went further by adding to its museum these other relics that I show you here. This institution also originated the school of drivers and for the decade of the 60's created a magazine called AutoClub.
It is located in the neighborhood of Palermo on the second floor of this building where in addition to housing cars are newspapers, magazines, trophies of drivers of national races as the case of Fangio, recognized driver of the country who drove one of the cars that are in this post.
La instituci贸n fue fundada en el a帽o 1904 y es m谩s conocido por brindar la organizaci贸n y fiscalizaci贸n de automovilismo deportivo en el pa铆s, sin embargo fueros m谩s all谩 adicionando a su museo 茅stas otras reliquias que ac谩 les muestro. Esta instituci贸n adem谩s origin贸 la escuela de conductores y para la d茅cada de los 60 creo una revista llamada AutoClub.
Se encuentra ubicado en el barrio de Palermo en el primer piso de este edificio en d贸nde adem谩s de albergar autos se encuentran diarios, revistas, trofeos de conductores de carreras nacionales como el caso de Fangio, conductor reconocido del pa铆s que condujo uno de los autos que se encuentran en 茅ste post.

In this section I show you some of these racing cars where we can even find a 1949 Ferrari, racing cars from Italy from the year 69. This is the main attraction of this museum, however there are only a few racing cars the day I visited. Something very important is that they are in a very good state of preservation. In the case of the other cars the deterioration is understandable since they are much older than a century or almost two, but it still makes them look more interesting.
En esta secci贸n les muestro algunos de estos autos de carrera en d贸nde hasta podemos encontrar un Ferrari del a帽o 1949, autom贸viles de carrera provenientes de Italia del a帽o 69. 脡ste es el principal atractivo de este museo, sin embargo solo hay pocos autos de carrera el d铆a que visit茅. Algo muy importante es que estos se encuentran un estado de conservaci贸n bastante bueno. En el caso de los otros autos se entiende los deterioros ya que tienen mucho m谩s de un siglo o casi dos, pero a煤n as铆 los hace ver m谩s interesantes.
