    ArtCenter College of Design Car Show on October 28th

    Seems like a good opportunity for those on the West Coast. Includes a tour of their Design Studios. Tickets $40.

    http://www.artcenter.edu/carclassic/registration.php

    Behind every beautifully designed car, from the 1938 Opel Kapitan to the 2018 Tesla Model 3, stands an innovative designer—one most likely educated at ArtCenter College of Design.

    Join auto enthusiasts, car collectors, history buffs and weekend adventurers at Car Classic 2018, where we will be celebrating the 70th anniversary of the College’s Transportation Design program.

    • • Get up-close-and-personal with rare automobiles, motorcycles and stunning concept cars representing seven decades of ArtCenter’s influence in transportation design
    • • Meet the innovative designers who brought these visions to life
    • • Hear the stories behind some of the most iconic vehicles of our time
    • • And much, much more!
    More than a high-profile car show, ArtCenter’s annual Car Classic honors the very best in industrial design, showcases the College’s strong ties to industry, and celebrates the indelible mark ArtCenter alumni have made on the world of transportation, all in a friendly environment and beautiful location.

    My Alma Mater.
    I want to attend, but I'm going to have to skip it this year.
    The show is always a good one.

    They look good. However, just wait until the aerodynamicists get hold of them and ruin the lines trying to make it go faster.

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    It should be cool, though, for them to have the ability to design the halo's into the car's as opposed to just adding them as an afterthought.

    That's pretty cool. Tiny too - was that just a model to photograph on the beach or was that able to take a driver?

    Oh ****. :(

    Sincerely,
    Andrew.

    They've taken EVERYTHING that I really, truly, hate with a burning passion about modern design and crammed it all into one vehicle.

    My god. When I was a young teenager I used to dream about owning a BMW M3 as an aspirational car. Most of what they're doing these days makes me go "yuck", and then I feel sad and empty inside - like someone just told me Santa Claus doesn't exist.

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    I don't even have the words to articulate it. Everything is ghastly.

    Andrew, you do have to admit that it does look good as a classic railroad locomotive! :D

    I want to reach out through the internet, grab a BMW designer by the pretentious scarf, and shake some sense into them.

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    Is that a wing or a fin coming out of the C-Pillar? If so, that's probably the first time I've ever seen that feature.

    If so, that's definitely not the first time you've ever seen that feature. ;)


    BMW have completely lost the plot. What a saddening design. :(

    All the best,
    Andrew.
