Just for fun : midcentury car design - Ralph Lauren's Collection


Seventeen sport cars selected from the fabulous and refined Ralph Lauren's collection will be featured in the exhibition "The Art of Automobile" at Les Arts Décoratifs (Paris, Louvre, opening April 28).

Car design is art, isn't it ?

This Jaguar, with its fighter plane design, means victorious speed - it awarded 3 times the "24 heures du Mans" race. Driving it, a woman became the fastest woman in the world in 1964.
