Want to know what drives you? Visit the High Museum's The Allure of the Automobile - a premier exhibit of 18 cars which defied the current technology and design standards. Defining the modern art of mechanical sculpture, these cars have been a vehicle of the imagination for decades. Whether you're a connoisseur or casual observer, these works from global masters such as Bugatti, Duesenberg and Ferrari are sure to please!

Easily the haute couture of the automotive industry, these "rolling works of art" were certainly created for an affluent few. Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of the record-breaking, award-winning creations: a number of the cars were owned by Hollywood heros such as Steve McQueen.

As a visual testament to the Golden Age of engineering, these cars chart innovative advancements from the late 1930s through the mid-'60s. Although production ceased in light of WWII, and shifting aesthetics ventured toward the smaller, nimble sports cars of the late 20th century, these curvaceous roadsters continue to awe audiences. Presented by the High, these pristine productions are inspiring innovations of engineering, creativity and beauty. Stop in today for your glimpse of perfection.
