Sirens of Chrome and Steel: The 1962 Detroit Auto Show

I was struck not by the cars but by the beautiful women -- the sirens of chrome and steel, that were all around the floor of the Detroit Auto Show in 1962 -- and still a feature of car shows today. They are at the heart of a fantasy, a connection between cars and sexuality that was featured then and now. However, the world is changing, as car culture is now undermined by autonomous vehicles and transportation mobility in a broader scope of what is personal and linked to status and being.
