“This Delin is older than my grandfather,” a young boy whispered to his mother, his eyes wide with awe. Right here in the heart of Montevideo, the Museo del Automu00f3vil Club del Uruguay, also known as the Museo del Automu00f3vil Eduardo Iglesias, houses a fascinating collection of automotive history. Established in 1983, the museum celebrates the evolution of transportation in Uruguay, with over 40 vehicles spanning eleven decades. The museum, named after Eduardo Iglesias, a pioneer of Uruguayan motor racing and a driving force behind the Automu00f3vil Club del Uruguay, offers free admission, inviting everyone to step back in time. The star of the show is undoubtedly the 1899 Delin, a Belgian masterpiece and one of only three remaining in the world. Its presence in Museo del Automu00f3vil Club del Uruguay is a testament to the country’s early embrace of the automobile. Visitors can also marvel at a 1904 Clement-Bayard, the first car to be registered in Montevideo in 1905, bearing the registration number 16. The museum’s collection isn’t just about foreign imports. It proudly displays a “Rago,” one of only twelve cars produced locally in 1967 by the Rago brothers. A visit to the Museo del Automu00f3vil Club del Uruguay is a journey through time, a glimpse into Uruguay’s motoring past.
