Jesada Technik Museum: Yesterday’s cars of tomorrow
The invention of the wheel allowed the creation of cars and other vehicles. The first car ever created was the Ford Model-T, which you could have in any color as long as it was in black. From there, man has continued to enhance the capabilities of the car as well as the design of them. In the 50’s, the jet age gave rise to more modern-looking and concept cars which were marketed as ‘cars of tomorrow’. Today however, such cars cease to exist yet the idea of what tomorrow’s car will look like still engages the imaginative mind. Take a ride down memory lane and visit yesterday’s cars of tomorrow at Jesada Technik Museum.
The museum was founded by Mr. Jesada Deshsakulrith, a Thai businessman who has a passion for automobiles and mechanics. His interest in these vehicles led him to tour antique car collections across Europe and the US, and eventually inspired him to collect antique and rare cars and vehicles to be put on display for adults to reminisce and kids to dream. The first car in his collection is the Messerschmitt KR-200 (Bubble Car; 1958) brought in from Switzerland. Not only does he collect rare cars, but he also studies them.
