In this intoxicating journey from Belle Époque to Art Deco, Jeffrey Paul Ames, the Aromatic Gourmet, will regale you with dazzling stories of the French perfume industry of the 1920s and 30s, while stimulating your senses through the iconic aromas of the era. This is not just a lecture—it’s a sensory celebration of sight, scent, and taste.

Join us for an afternoon focused on Art Deco Autos at the private Hagerty Car Club. From the strategic, investor driven demands that set the stage for the coachbuilt Delahayes to the mortality driven decisions motivating Andre Citroen, to the changes in global economics that ultimately ended the era, we'll gain insight into the unique convergence of demand, design and engineering incubating the Art Deco movement. Speaker John Roth will focus on peak Art Deco, the 1930's and 1940's, the leaders, their achievements and their lasting influence on automobile design.
