Like his elegant, timeless and iconic apparel designs, Ralph Lauren had always seen cars as pieces of art.
Vanity Fair's Todd Eberle had a chance to enter the inner sanctum of Ralph Lauren's "museum like" garage and photographed some of his beloved car collections.
This week 17 of his rare and exceptional cars will be on displayed at the Louvre's Musée des Arts Décoratifs for the show entitled:
L'Art de l'Automobile.
The show opening car is the 1938 Bugatti Atlantic, a masterpiece that is estimated in the upwards of $32 million. You'll have to scroll through the post to see it!
