374: Roaring Style - Ken Gross on the Golden Age of French Automobiles and Art


Listen Later

Join The Collector Car Podcast for a special conversation with renowned automotive historian and curator Ken Gross as we explore “Roaring: Art, Fashion and the Automobile in France, 1918-1939” exhibit at the Saint Louis Art Museum. This stunning showcase celebrates the luxurious, avant-garde world of 1930s French automobiles and the art, fashion, and innovation that defined the era.

Ken takes us behind the scenes of this extraordinary exhibit, highlighting masterworks from Bugatti, Delahaye, Talbot-Lago, and Hispano-Suiza—cars as much at home in a museum as they were on the boulevards of Paris. Learn how the automobile became a rolling sculpture, merging Art Deco elegance with cutting-edge engineering, all set against the backdrop of interwar creativity and glamour.
