...in my really jazzy motorcar?
Delahaye Coupe
A special exhibition is currently at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston titled "Sculpted in Steel: Art Deco Automobiles and Motorcycles, 1929–1940". These are the "specials"; the elegant motorcars that were owned by the ultra-rich during the depression era when there were so many soup kitchens and people in breadlines. There were so few of these marvelous vehicles built, that today they are still owned by the super-rich.
The cars are American and European. There are American Chryslers and Cords along with a Packard and a custom Ford as well as what be considered the first minivan, the Stout Scarab. Also included are two Delahayes from France, a Spanish Hispano-Suiza, a Talbot-Lago from England, and even a Czech Tatra.
Linda and I visited the exhibit this past Friday, and I couldn't stop taking pictures -- you don't want to know how many. So I thought would share a few photos of these magnificent automobiles. If you live in the Houston area, you owe it to yourself to visit the exhibition which will be there through May.
Join me and experience these beautiful machines with the slideshow below.
