Streamlined: Classic Cars of the 20th Century
Malte Jürgens, Photographs By Michel Zumbrunn & Urs Schmid
In 2009, the Prototyp car museum in Hamburg, Germany, organized a special two-month exhibit where 25 classic, streamlined automobiles had an unprecedented “aerodynamic rendezvous.” The exhibition included such automotive gems as the 1940 BMW Mille Miglia Touring Coupe, the 1977 Mercedes-Benz C111/III, Porsche’s 356 Pre-A coupe of 1950, Petermax Müller’s 1938 World Record Volkswagen, Das Auto magazine founder Paul Pietsch’s 1952 Avus Coupe, and the Kamm K3 from 1938. Michel Zumbrunn, who specializes in classic cars, photographed this unique exhibition of never-before-shown-together works of art. With 142 color photos, spread across 324-pages, in a slipcased, coffee table-style book, the result is a remarkable artistic documentation of the history of these aerodynamically advanced automobiles.
