MRC Publishing is now taking orders for their latest book. GM Design
is celebrating 100 years of incredible automotive design with a special
chronicle of its work Driving Style: GM Design's First Century.
Order on-line today. GM Vice
Chairman Bob Lutz says in the forward, "This book is the result of
a true labor of love by GM Design. The group tirelessly mined the
archives, combing through the catacombs in the basement, and produced
images that have never been published, and haven't been seen by anyone
in decades. They found original design sketches, and photos of clay
models. They also shot and re-shot some of our historical vehicles
from angles never photographed before. This book documents the past
in spectacular fashion, and hints at a fabulous future as well."
