DOWNLOAD EBOOKBetween the 1930s and 1980s, American automotive design reached new heights, quietly staking out a place as an art form in its own right. This innovative period saw the birth of concept cars whose appeal lay not so much with the power of their engines or the luxury of their added features, but in the sheer beauty and novelty of their overall design. Automakers employed artists from outside the industry with the primary goal of creating bold new designs whose "eye appeal" would prove irresistible to the public. In their heyday, thousands of these prototype sketches were created, but nearly all were either lost or deliberately destroyed by the car companies to minimize the risk of copycats. In IMAGINE!, Patrick Kelley presents a wealth of eye-catching car designs--more than 230 images from eighty-seven different artists--that he has spent over fifteen years gathering and assembling into the Kelley Collection. These artworks are rare survivors, vivid illustrations of the singular work of the men and woman who drew and designed the vehicles from their art school days through their later employment with the auto industry's Big Three: GM, Chrysler and Ford. IMAGINE! is a tender tribute to the artists' contributions and imagination, transporting us back to a time in US commercial history when the wildest dreams were encouraged and there was nothing but the open road ahead.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKConcept vehicles are cars we can't drive - and only in rare cases are we allowed to touch them. Just to have a look at them we have to stand in line at the motor shows. Even so, concept vehicle creators reach millions of people through the major international motor shows in Tokyo, Frankfurt, Geneva, Paris or Birmingham or the ones that take place in the big conference centers in New York, Chicago, Detroit and Los Angeles. It's sufficient for us to admire these prototypes from far away or to have the chance to brush up against them and to dream about the day we will get into one or two of them. Concept vehicles are dream cars, vehicles that we passionately hope one day will be part of our cars-to-come dream. These are the cars of the future, or at least, of a future that some creative mind imagines. In their bold new shapes, concept vehicles show us the future through the designer's artistic eye and creative imagination. Some of these models announce the arrival of cars under production, others are design and technology experiments.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKUn voyage fascinant à la découverte des concept cars légendaires de l'histoire de l'automobile, qui commence avec la Buick Y-Job des années 1930 et s'égrène ensuite dans le sillage des évolutions du design inspiré de l'industrie aérospatiale des années 1950.L'histoire des super cars se poursuit avec les lignes fuselées des années 1970 et se conclut avec les projets du nouveau millénaire, à la mesure des enjeux contemporains. Les concepteurs n'ont à leur disposition qu'une table à dessin, un crayon et une règle, mais le concept car, lui, ne voit le jour que lorsqu'un designer se débarrasse des contraintes des règles et commence à dessiner avec son imagination, le meilleur outil dont il dispose.Tous les concept cars ne se transforment pas en modèles de série. Un concept car peut offrir à un designer, mais aussi à un constructeur, une extraordinaire liberté artistique, affranchie des exigences de la praticabilité. Il peut servir de plateforme de test aux technologies d'ingénierie et de construction nouvelles. II peut démontrer que l'utilisation de carburants alternatifs plus propres et compatibles avec l'environnement ne restera pas lettre morte.Mais un concept car peut surtout nous permettre de rêver, d'espérer et de découvrir à l'avance la forme des automobiles de demain.
