Is automobile design art? Should
form follow function? It is interesting that in the 1950s, while American intellectuals were criticizing American car designs using European design theories, European intellectuals were beginning to praise American car designs.
Many 1950s American cars turn heads even today. This 1955
Chevrolet Nomad is no exception. Even the couple in it were the '50s. Love it.
A University of Michigan website,
Automobile in American Life and Society hosts the most interesting articles on the subject, including specific articles about
American Automobile Design.
