A dynamically illustrated exploration of 70 years of automotive
design in the Motor City Detroit, nicknamed Motor City, has always
been a leader in car design. As the city became the center of the
American automobile industry in the early 20th century, its studios
became incubators for new ideas and new styles. This volume
highlights the artistry and influence of Detroit designers working
in the industry between 1950 and the present day, giving readers a
sumptuously illustrated opportunity to discover the ingenuity of
influential (and surprisingly little-known) figures in postwar
American car design. Detroit Style showcases 12 coupes and sedans,
representing both experimental cars created solely for display and
iconic production models for the mass market. Dozens of design
drawings and images of studio interiors-along with paintings and
sculptures-highlight the creative process and dialogue between the
American art world and car culture. These materials in addition to
interviews with influential figures in car design today bring new
insights and spark curiosity about the formative role Detroit
designers have played in shaping the automotive world around us,
and the ways their work has responded to changing tastes, culture,
and technology.
