DRIVE: ICONIC AMERICAN CARS AND MOTORCYCLES |
Some call them rolling sculptures, others the shape of speed.
Experience nearly two dozen legendary vehicles that defined the height of American automotive ingenuity in the new exhibition, DRIVE! Iconic American Cars and Motorcycles, presented by Advance Auto Parts.
This special ticketed exhibition was on view at the Taubman Museum of Art in the heart of downtown Roanoke September 8, 2018-February 3, 2019.
The vehicles featured in the exhibition span over a half-century from 1912-1965 and included one-of-a-kind concept cars and celebrity-owned roadsters and motorcycles.
DRIVE! Iconic American Cars and Motorcycles was organized by well-known guest curator Ken Gross, former director of the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.
