Sloan Museum presents its brand new exhibit, General Motors Gems - A Look Inside the Bulgari Automotive Collection. This exhibit will showcase a selection of Nicola Bulgari's cars from his extraordinary collection of antique and vintage General Motors automobiles. Nicola Bulgari is the vice-chairman of the contemporary Italian jeweler BVLGARI and in celebration of General Motors 100th Anniversary these gems will be on display in Flint, the birthplace of General Motors. Highlights include Mr. Bulgari's favorite, a 1935 Buick 96s, an all-original 1934 LaSalle Aero Coupe and a 1940 Buick Estate Wagon featured in several Warner Bros. movies and then owned by actress Bette Davis. Come on into the Sloan Museum to see these remarkable gems on wheels.
