What a great time that must have been.

Thanks for sharing these.

Having lived 30 years in Tennessee, I can't believe they named anything after Frist. Where is it? Is it near the Parthenon and Vanderbilt in that big park?

It's on Broadway. It used to be the main post office.

Here's a link to the exhibit and the cars in it.

The old post office was a gorgeous building. Over near the old train station, right?

Right next door to Union Station.

There are some absolutely stunning cars from this era. Any more photos? Pretty please??

I am dependent upon my daughter emailing the pictures to me that she took at the exhibit. (She took about 100!) When I get them I'll post a few more.

The link a couple of posts up has pictures as well as descriptions of all the cars.

Figoni and Falaschi did some of the most beautiful coach work. Combined with Delahaye.... Superb.

But that Henderson Streamliner. Oh my! Sexiest bike EVER!!

Think I saw a Ford in that lot.

I like the second car. Whatever it is. Should be remade?

WOW!!! Those are beautiful!

The Art Deco era was amazing. Everything looked futuristic at the time, and today it looks both futuristic and retro. Art Deco still looks fantastic 80 years later. Check out the Chrysler Building in NYC, that's a good example, too.

These cars are just stunning, rolling artwork.

Always loved that Buick! And even though it was 20-30 years after Art Deco, it fit right in.
