A total of 18 rare and stunning classic cars will be on display during the Allure of the Automobile exhibition. These cars were produced between the 1930s and mid-1960s, which was a very illustrious era in the history of auto-manufacturing. Visitors will get to see two of the most impressive Mercedes Benz models ever made, namely, a 1955 300 SLR and a 1937 540K Special Roadster, as well as award-winning cars, record-breaking race cars, and celebrity-owned cars. Of particular interest are cars that were once owned by legendary actors Steve McQueen and Clark Gable.
