TimeOut

Hello, everyone!

Hope you are all enjoying a great weekend.

A couple of weeks ago I found myself in Portland, Oregon and found out about an automobile exhibition being held at the Portland Museum of Art.

Here's several pictures. Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them!

 

beautiful collection of automobiles there!  Did you enjoy Oregon?

Oregon was a lot of fun!

Portland is pretty cool and I am eager to go back and enjoy everything that the city, and the region has to offer.

Glad you enjoyed the post! Please stay tuned for more pics

Enjoy your Sunday,

Alex

Love that Porsche 550 proto. Thanks for sharing. 

Hope you enjoy the rest of the series.

Have a great day!

More photos later.

Ps. Sorry for the weird order of the photos. Photo uploader is acting up on me. But hey, the good thing is to share them, right?

 

So many wonderful cars and many that I haven't seen before, thank you so much.

I too saw cars and learned about makers whom I had never heard before.

Glad you enjoyed it!

All the best,

Alex

Thank you so much for sharing.  I've enjoyed them a lot. 

Un abrazo desde Mexico,

...cars there, Alex. Fantastic to be able to view them at the same time. But I have to admit that I am no fan of these car 'art' shows. These cars deserve better than overpolished static displays.

Although beautiful and quite a pleasure for the eyes, I must admit that a part of me wishes for these cars to be out on the open road, exhilarating the driver and captivating the imagination and dreams of those who spot them.

Either way, it was a very enjoyable outing.

Cheers,

Alex

...would be enough for me...

It's a rare day here in Australia when we get so see so much exotica in one place.....

Great collection.  Really special to see in person.  Several years ago I saw the 1959 Corvette and the McQueen Jaguar XKSS.

Tell me, has fishing season started already?

Hope you are enjoying some weekend sails this summer.

Looking forward to hanging out soon,

Alex

Hard to tell which one is my favorite.  

And at least you could take pictures ! Because it is forbidden in Paris for the Ralph Lauren's cars exhibition. I'm very upset.

Because I too, knowing that they didn't allow photographs in the Ralph Lauren exhibit, was a little bit weary about it. Luckily, after asking, they told me they were allowed, just no flash.

Anyways, I am very happy you enjoyed it! I am posting the last two cars in a little bit. Be sure to check them out!

Have a great week,

Alex

Love the AM DB4GT and the Corvette Stingray prototype. 
Great report, thanks for sharing.

It just exhuded dandyism, boldness, adventure, and good taste. No wonder it is Commander Bond's car of choice ;-).

All the best,

Alex

Thanks for the photo Grande Tour, Alex. Some amazing vehicles. The Porsche protype, the Corvette, and a host of other amazing bodies.

Love it!

Is it a travelling exhibition?

Andrew

I remember seeing a calendar of tour cities and dates, but they just did not stick to my memory. A simple search of the Allure of the Automobile name should bring up the official website and pertinent information. It is definitely worth checking out! I found out about it out of luck, really, as I saw a billboard while walking around the city center.

Anyways, I am very happy you enjoyed it! I still have a few more pictures to post from another couple of examples. Please stay posted!

All the best,

Alex
