This summer #OHIOUniversityLibraries staff got to welcome a unique group to the Libraries -King Midget car enthusiasts!
Learn more about this small but mighty car on our OHIO Archives blog: bit.ly/mahnblog-kingmidget

(A tardy #MahnBlogMonday)

#AthensOhio #OHIOUniversity #Archives #CarHistory
A peach colored King Midget car on the road seen from below street level angle. “If you aren’t familiar with the niche car history that is King Midget let us introduce you to this Athens, Ohio invention…” The cover of Athens magazine with black and white image of two people dressed in Bobcat mascot costumes driving a colorized red King Midget car. “Back in the 1940s two Civil Air Patrol pilots, Claud Dry and Dale Orcutt, founded the Midget Motors Supply company in Athens, Ohio.” A man standing at podium speaking into mic with slide displaying King Midget car behind him. The backs of audience members are seen in the foreground. “This year marked 80 years of the King Midget Car Club. The Libraries created an exhibit for the occasion, and on August 7th, David Funk spoke about the history of King Midgets at the exhibit opening event.” Five people stand around parked tan King Midget car looking at it. In the background is Athena Cinema. “After the event, cars hit the bricks and gathered on Court Street where car owners and locals alike checked out this quirky aspect of Athens history. Read more about these fun cars on the OHIO Archives blog!”

The wonderful part is that in #athensohio the people are going to be open to this logic.

“Let’s have a meeting of the houses on this block to know one another because we need to be connected when the country collapses.”

Few around here would question that.
