Photos from the 'Dream Cars: Innovative Design, Visionary Ideas' exhibition at the Atlanta High Museum of Art.
Dream Cars: Innovative Design, Visionary Ideas is an amazing exhibit that puts on display some of the most famous and influential concept cars of the last 80 years. Everything from the space age-inspired designs of Harley Earl to low-slung, angular exotics from Italy are represented.
If you’re in the Atlanta area between now and September 7th, it’s a great opportunity to see some incredibly rare and priceless metal, but if you’re not, then we have you covered. Here’s every single car as seen from the gallery floor.
