Autos that could be sculptures in a museum

Top Secret said:
Everyone here knows my penchant for the Citroen DS. Simply the most beautiful car ever made.
And then you have the Citroen C6. The best looking sedan in yonks.
More to come.

Mission accomplished: :D
2/9/2006 UK : Design museum chooses the Citroën C6

The Design Museum in London is internationally acclaimed for its displays of contemporary and modern design and since its foundation by one of the 20th century's most influential designers, Sir Terrance Conran, in 1989, millions of visitors have visited the museum to see the designs and technology that have shaped and influenced our lives and the designs that the Museum believes will be influential in coming decades.

The Design Museum has already played host to a display dedicated to the Citroen DS and its influences on a wide range of car designs and now its successor, the Citroen C6, has been chosen as the automotive theme design for 2006. The French car maker is also providing support for talks and debates at the museum by leading and inspirational designers, as well as for the prestigious Designer of the Year award.

"Citroën has a wonderful design heritage dating all the way back to the Traction Avant in the 1930s and the DS 19 in the 1950s, which makes their association with the Design Museum very exciting," explains Katie Galloway, Head of Development at the Design Museum. "We are, therefore, delighted to welcome Citroën to the Design Museum Talks programme and look forward to working with them."

The Citroën C6 will form part of a striking display at the main entrance to the museum, positioned inside a display, the Design Museum 'Tank', which has become an icon in its own right - making the Citroën C6 a design icon inside a design icon !

You can't have a load of amazing designs without Alfas! Their cars look amazing, if only they were as good to drive!

I still absolutely think the Veyron has the finest interior in the entire automotive industry ....which is as it should be ...I guess.

Still the one closest to my heart, 1933 Duesenberg SJ

 
kovachian, you too are a Duesenberg fan. It seems that our numbers are growing in here. :D

A question, do you also like/love some of Duesey's rivals, the 3Ps, Peerles, Pierce-Arrow, Packard ?!
 
Oh yes, I'm a sucker for pretty much all cars of the antique/vintage era, particularly the ones built like royal palaces on wheels.

The Exelero is very dramatic but I still think it is quite ugly ....what has happened to elegance? ....this thing even makes the Phantom look pretty.
 
It's a shame to let this thread die!
there is so much beauty here, and many cars that I've never seen or heard about before..

please guys keep posting pics of these pieces of art here!
I'm getting back soon with more pics too.
