9/6, the first Thursday of a month. I visited the new Shape of Speed exhibition at Portland Art Museum. I didn't expect to enjoy it, but I did, despite of the crowds. The cars are beautiful and sparkling clean. None had seat belt or side mirrors. Every car and one motor cycle has a nicely written up bio, interesting to read.
Here're some of the interesting ones:
Airomobile of 1937 ($550, 3-speed, top speed ~75mph)
Bugatti's Type 57 Aerolithe of 1935 (4-speed, < 115mph, only 2 built, neither survived)
Impractical: Elektron alloy body, sealed window)
Steyr 55 "Baby" of 1939 (4-speed, <60mph)
Talbot-Lago T150C of 1938 (4-speed, library art realization.
Stout Scarab of 1936 ($5000, 3-speed, 80mph), has side and back facing seats.
Tatra T77A of 1938 <105mph)
