The Leo Pascal Collection was started in l934 by Paul's father, Leo Pascal, with the acquisition of one automobile toy. Leo worked at the National Archives from l937 until his untimely death in l962, and was a legend at the Archives. Over the years Leo collected numerous items of automobilia, focusing on the social aspect of the American automobile. The co-curator, Brenda K.
