If you love cars, live or will be in Portland, Oregon between now and September 11, then you must visit the exhibit: Allure of the Automobile. Organized in 2010 at the Highland Museum in Atlanta, Georgia, this once in a lifetime event is now at the Portland Art Museum.
The exhibit showcases 16 luxurious automobiles and shows the evolution of car making, between 1930's and 1960's. When you're at the show, be sure to visit the 1937 Hispano-Suiza which is owned by French aperitif baron Andre Dubonnet or the 1957 Jaguar XK-SS which was once owned by Steve McQueen.
The Corvette Sting Ray.... looks likes a sting ray when you stand behind the car.
