Wow! This is a truly amazing accomplishment by the High Museum!!!  This one hit me dead center. My favorites were the 1947 Norman Timbs Special (Do realize this car was built 67 years ago!) and the prototype Porsche Speedster (of course). 

Check it out, it is a remarkable  exhibit. I have been raving about it with everyone for two days! Send this link to all your friends! http://southeastwheelsevents.com/events/dream-cars-innovative-desig...
