The Original Happy Car has been selected by Atlanta's High Museum of Art as the exclusive baby and toddler clothing company for “The Allure of the Automobile” exhibit. Created by an Atlanta Dad who likes drawing cars on the bathtub wall for his toddler son during bath time, The Original Happy Car is a collection of classic children’s clothing that is fun for everyone. Be sure to check out their section in the exhibit's gift shop, or online at http://www.theoriginalhappycar.com/

 

Kids love cars…so the Allure of the Automobile exhibit is the perfect time to take them on a trip to the museum. Continuing through June 20th, the exhibition features 18 of the world's rarest and most brilliantly conceived cars ranging from the 1930s to the mid-1960s, including masterpieces by Bugatti, Duesenberg, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Ferrari. These cars combine state-of-the-art engineering, meticulous craftsmanship and groundbreaking design to create works of "rolling sculpture."

 

The automobiles on view at the High include one-of-a-kind, custom-built designs that incorporate remarkable advances in automotive styling and engineering. The sections of the exhibition trace the evolution of the motorcar, examining the contrasts between European and American design, the influence of decorative arts and design, and the significant changes in automotive styling and engineering both before and after World War II.

 

The featured automobiles have also won awards at prestigious world events such as the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, broken records on racetracks and were previously owned by noted car enthusiasts such as Hollywood legends Clark Gable and Steve McQueen.
