Allure of the Automobile

A new show at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta is displaying “rolling works of art” built from 1930 to 1965. Rarely seen on the road, they are collectors items now owned by museums and by enthusiasts. Shown here is a 1938 Alfa Romeo 8C2900B, Touring Berlinetta Chassis No. 412035. Lent by Jon and Mary Shirley of Bellevue, Wash. Only 30 of these were built for road use because they cost so much at the time. “In 1948, when owned by Frank Griswold, this 10-year-old 8C2900B Berlinetta won the first Watkins Glen Grand Prix, beating many newer cars,” the High Museum says. “The Allure of the Automobile” runs through June 20, 2010.
