In the 1950s, General Motors culminated its industry dominance with an annual traveling exhibition know as the Motorama, showcasing the very latest trends in styling, engineering and modern conveniences. However, once they were done on the show circuit, the cars were marked for destruction.
Fortunately, many of these marvels escaped that fate, and their eventual savior was Joe Bortz.
As a kid growing up in suburban Chicago, Joe was fascinated by cars he saw in the neighborhood dealerships. He went on to become a prolific collector of many cars, but especially the Dream Cars.
Now they're being shown to the world in a new exhibit at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles entitled "General Motors' Marvelous Motorama: Dream Cars from the Joe Bortz Auto Collection".
