I saw several of these cars two summers ago at [ allure of the automobile ] in Portland. The North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh has curated a mother lode of this species of all-animal cars. It opens 12 October 2013 thru 20 January 2014. You may feel the presence of Steve McQueen, James Dean, Janis Joplin, Jim Hensen. [ porsche by design: seducing speed ]
