Full Version: Automobiles on display at Atlanta's High Museum
Last Summer we went to Atlanta's High Museum to see their display "The Allure of the Automobile". Other than to apologize for the iphone photographs, I'll just post the photos and let anyone who's interested comment.
Would anybody care to identify them?
My guesses:
#1 Duesenberg
#2 Packard
#3 Mercedes Benz 540K
#4 Alfa Romeo 2900
#5 Hispano Suiza H6C 'Xenia' built by Andre DubonnetCord
#6 Porsche replica 1939 Rome-Berlin Type 64 prototype
#7 Delage D8-120S Portout Aero Coupe
#9 Bugatti 57S AtlanteC
#9 Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato
#10 Mercedes Benz 300SLR- or is it a replica?
#11 Jaguar XKSS
#12 Ferrari 250GT SWBTour de France
#13 Dodge FirearrowSomething with a Ghia body
#14 TuckerStudebaker?
#15 Cadillac
#16 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport
I know some are wrong. All corrections gratefully received.

I think 14 is a Tucker, and the Ferrari is a SWB, not a TdF.

Correct on both.
Car number 2 is a Packard
Car number 5 is NOT a Cord, but right know I can't recall what it is.
Number 7 is a not a Delahaye but a Delage. In this case the D8-120S Portout Aero Coupe
Number 13 is possibly a Chrysler Ghia
The Porsche would appear to be the sole remaining (of 3 built) 1939 Rome-Berlin Type 64 prototype ex Otto Mathe but might be a replica.

Correct on numbers 2 and 7.
You're close on number 13 but while a Chrysler product, it's not a Chrysler.
Correct on the Porsche but it IS a replica.
I believe 13 is the Dodge Firearrow concept.
5 looks German to me, but it could be the silver paint throwing me off.

Yes, number 13 is the Dodge.
Number 5 is tough because the custom coachwork, but the car makes the rounds of auto shows enough I thought somebody would get it. It's not German.
D-Type -
Two things. They claim the 300SLR to be original. Also, you're very close on the Bugatti.

I would say it's a Type 57SC Atalante (chassis 57562)
I think no. 5 is the Hispano-Suiza H6C 'Xenia', built for Andre Dubonnet.

They say it's a Type 57S Atalante, not an SC
Correct on the Hispano-Suiza

I'm sure they are correct. Pictured here on the Bugatti Trust website.
