SUMMARY:The High Museum's \"The Allure of the Automobile\" -Atlanta, G
 a
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFeats of design and engineering. Rolling works of art.
 \n\nThe Allure of the Automobile presents 18 of the world's rarest and
  most brilliantly conceived cars from the 1930s to the mid-1960s, incl
 uding masterpieces by Bugatti, Duesenberg, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, Pors
 che and Ferrari. The exhibition traces the evolution of the motorcar, 
 examining the contrasts between European and American design, and sign
 ificant changes in automotive styling and engineering before and after
  World War II.\n\nThe featured automobiles have won awards at prestigi
 ous events such as the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, broken record
 s on racetracks, and were previously owned by such noted car enthusias
 ts as Hollywood legends Clark Gable and Steve McQueen.\n\nThe Golden A
 ge of Carmaking\n\nThe general establishment of body-on-frame construc
 tion in the early part of the century allowed for the rise of the spec
 ialized automotive coachbuilder, who, in the 1930s, produced custom bo
 dywork for a wealthy clientele. At the time, France led the world in h
 igh fashion and decorative arts and, likewise, created some of the fin
 est car designs.\n\nParis became the center of the automotive universe
 , drawing hundreds of talented designers from other countries. Opulent
  and luxurious French custom coachwork was seen in American Duesenberg
 s and Packards in addition to French Bugattis, Delages, Delahayes and 
 Hispano-Suizas.\n\nAfter World War II, the industry shifted away from 
 the lavish, expansive cars of the pre-war period toward smaller, more 
 nimble sports cars. In Germany, companies like Mercedes-Benz, BMW and 
 Porsche rose from the ashes of conflict to present brilliantly conceiv
 ed triumphs of engineering. The 1950s and 1960s saw the rise of fast a
 nd luxurious sport cars designed by talented engineers and brilliant c
 oachbuilders, launching an era of Italian supremacy in car design into
  the second half of the century.\n\nView the list of featured Automobi
