Film "American Dreaming" The story of styling postwar American cars
- Thread starter themechanic
- Start date
Not sure if it is the same Brownlie, but he is responsible for the Coke-Bottle design we love. In house we have Exner and Herlitz (70 'Cuda AND 71 rebody of the Roadrunner) too. I love this kind of (geunuine) American History. Hope to see Chysler designers in the movie. Remember, this was clay. Not cad.

If you have a ROKU there is a ROKU channel named American Dreaming with several short previews of the film. They were very interesting. I can hardly wait to see the film.

American Dreaming
Developer: hosttecsolutions.com
American Dreaming is a full-length documentary about American automotive styling from 1946 to 1973, featuring interviews of the men and women artists who designed Detroit’s automobiles.
What is the background for what is arguably the heyday of American automotive design? America’s post-war period fostered an era of economic expansion and a burgeoning middle class. This was a heady, optimistic time. People wanted all the modern conveniences and were drawn to modern futuristic designs. Detroit’s auto executives speculated on a raising market share for visually appealing cars. Automotive design studios were enlarged or created. Artists replaced engineers who handled the majority of design work pre-war. Styling studios were staffed by small elite groups of highly creative and technically exacting artists, many who held university degrees in the new field of automotive or industrial design. This is the era when automotive design reached its maturity."
