Engines of Change: Free Lecture and Book Signing
May 13, 2012 (2pm; Anderson theater opens at 1:30pm for seating)
Cars and the American Experience
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Paul Ingrassia takes a look at our cultural history through the windshields of iconic automobiles. His free lecture centers around his new book, "Engines of Change: A History of the American Dream in Fifteen Cars," which explores how cars have both propelled and reflected the American experience, from the Model T to the Prius.

Bob Casey, The Henry Ford’s senior curator of transportation, will moderate a Q&A session following the lecture. Guests will be able to purchase a copy of the book and have it signed by the author.
