[h=1]Dream Cars: The wild concepts of yesterday and today[/h]Hemmings Daily







[Editor’s Note: Ronan Glon of Ran When Parked recently found himself with some extra time in Indianapolis, affording him the chance to stop by the Indianapolis Museum of Art to check out its Dream Cars exhibit, curated by Ken Gross. Fortunately, he had his camera with him and thought he’d share his experience with us.]
Indianapolis is known around the world as the home of the Indy 500, but car enthusiasts planning a trip to the Circle City in the next few weeks can check out a fascinating automotive event that has nothing to do with racing. The Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) is currently holding an exhibit called Dream Cars.
While the term “dream cars” is often associated with high-profile supercars that wear either a horse or a bull on the hood, the IMA took a different approach, and its eponymous exhibition showcases 17 prototypes and otherwise unique cars that have left a mark on automotive history. The collection is split up into five themes: independent automakers, the impact of styling, the Motorama and the rise of the dream car, the influence of auto shows and the role of concept cars today.
