Engineering, speed, art and design – all in one car at the Dallas Museum of Art’s “‘Cult of the Machine.”

1937 Cord 812 Supercharged “Sportsman” Cabriolet Coup at the Dallas Museum of Arts “Cult of the Machine” exhibit
From KERA:
The Dallas Museum of Art’s current show, “Cult of the Machine” features paintings by Georgia O’Keeffe and film clips by Charlie Chaplin. But what steals the show is a rolling sculpture weighing nearly two tons. And 80 years ago, when that sculpture was new, nothing on the road could keep up with it. It’s probably the DMA’s fastest artwork – ever.
It’s a car, of course. But, quite the car.
