In 2007 the car was vandalized with anti-gay slurs. Instead of painting over them, Davies turned the incident in a mission to make the crime visible by touring every state in America and starting conversations about LGBTQ+ rights. After 10 years, she donated the car to the museum. The car will be on display until 2029.
