The Stingray Prototype
The High Museum here in Atlanta has an exhibit with 18 of the most stunning vehicles on the planet - The Allure of the Automobile. For me the biggest draw was Bill Mitchell's '59 Stringray prototype. I snapped some shots with the Blackberry that are terrible quality, but I thought I would share anyway. If you are driving distance from Atlanta, it's worth the trip. And bring a camera, they allow photos!

Some of the early pictures were in my '63 to '67 book.
There are also a few on my web site.
I have pictures of Bill Mitchell on the streets of his neighborhood. He used to drive it back and forth to work.

Mitchell also had a penchant for exotic Italian cafe-racer motorcycles - Laverda, MV Agusta, Ducati, etc., and he rode them to work occasionally, wearing custom-made Bates leathers. He was relatively short and on the "portly" side, and did NOT look good in tightly-fitted leathers (think blue sausage).
