Away We Go! Vintage Travel Posters

2010-05-13T04:00:00Z

In these days of high security, expensive gas, and lost luggage, can you imagine there was ever a time when travel was thrilling, special and exotic? The Boston Public Library invites you to journey back to the early twentieth century, the "Golden Age of Travel,” via some of the most beautiful and important vintage travel posters from the BPL’s collection, in the new exhibition Away We Go!

Away We Go! is organized as an epic trip around the world, starting and ending right here in Boston. Visitors will travel to twenty-eight hand-picked destinations and six continents on a globetrotting route nearly 45,000 miles long. Along the way, extraordinary, eye-catching posters are vivid reminders of the beauty, excitement and adventure of travel during the 1920s-1950s, when a world of enticing destinations and new modes of transportation beckoned onlookers to journey to distant lands, if only for a moment in their imaginations.

This exhibition features some of the most important posters from the Print Department’s holdings, as well as digital access to all 350 posters in the BPL’s outstanding collection. Away We Go! also includes travel-related artifacts from the BPL’s outstanding holdings of early postcards, travel diaries, maps, guidebooks and photographs. Visitors are invited to create personal take-away versions of their own travel posters in the exhibition.

Online visitors are encourage to view the BPL’s complete collection of travel posters on the Boston Public Library’s Flickr page at www.flickr.com….

This exhibition is free and open to the public during all library operating hours.

Joslin Diabetes Center Announces Rare Opportunity to Win Iacocca Silver 45th Anniversary Edition Ford Mustang

Raffle to Benefit Joslin High Hopes Fund Offers Special Edition Car Honoring the “Father of the Mustang”

The Mustang, the car that "changed everything" in the automotive industry, will now contribute to finding a cure for diabetes. Joslin Diabetes Center is raffling off a special edition of the famous "muscle" car – the Iacocca Silver 45th Anniversary Edition Ford Mustang. Only 45 of the limited edition Mustangs were made last year to honor the anniversary of the classic car’s introduction at the 1964 World’s Fair.

The Iacocca Family Foundation, which was created to fund diabetes research, donated the vehicle to Joslin Diabetes Center to support the world-renowned institution’s work to improve the lives of people with diabetes and its complications through innovative care, education, and research.
This "2009½" Iacocca Silver Edition Mustang will be raffled off to support Joslin’s High Hopes Fund. The Mustang fastback utilizes the latest in Ford performance technology, is painted a special Iacocca- chosen silver hue, and is valued at $70,000.

Raffle tickets can be purchased for $100 each starting today at www.joslin.org/iacocca. The drawing will take place live at the Joslin High Hopes Gala on November 20, 2010 where Joslin will honor members of the Iacocca family. Local car czar Herb Chambers has also joined in on this unique Joslin fundraising campaign and will be supporting the promotional efforts as well as showcasing the custom Mustang at his Ford dealership in Braintree, Mass.

About the Silver 45th Anniversary Edition Ford Mustang

The limited edition Mustang was custom-built by a team of artists, using composite construction Laminates, a reinforced material that is primarily used in aerospace design. With its sunken headlights, slanted grill and low stance, the Mustang includes a 4.6-liter V8 engine with 320 horsepower. A Ford Racing Handling Package adds firmer springs and re-valved shock absorbers.

Inside the Iacocca Silver Mustang, luxurious touches highlight the car's special heritage, including Iacocca Diamond Design leather seats with embroidery stitching, an Iacocca signature dash plaque with serial number, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with "I" badge, and Iacocca-badged aluminum door sill plates. For more details on this remarkable car, see www.ilegacy.com/.

About The Iacocca Family Foundation

The Iacocca Family Foundation was created to fund diabetes research and has brought new hope and promise to everyone living with type 1 diabetes. With the proceeds of his best-selling autobiography Lee A. Iacocca established the Foundation in 1984 in honor of his late wife, Mary K. Iacocca, who died from complications of type 1 diabetes. Since its inception the foundation has funded more than $30 million in promising research projects. For more information on the foundation, visit www.iacoccafoundation.org.
