The High Museum of Art is putting on a car show of sorts, but not just any regular exhibition. This installation will present some of the most innovative and distinct autos that major brands have come out with over the years, so it's aptly titled 'Dream Cars.'
These dream cars consist of everything from designs that look more like jets than an auto, to structures that are so flat it's hard to imagine even fitting inside the driver's seat. Big name car brands featured for the show include BMW, Ferrari and Chrysler to name a few. What's so impressive about these designs is that some of them were conceived over 50 years ago, yet they still look like something that would come out twenty years from now. Clearly these designers know how to look a long ways into the future.
