The connection between the automobile and sexuality has been well explored many times. What is so interesting here is the absurdity of it all. This GL coupe is strictly utilitarian, even with the tachometer and rack and pinion steering. Perhaps a rally car in the day? You can do only so much with trim to turn this car into a silk purse.
This blog will expand on themes and topics first mentioned in my book, "The Automobile and American Life." I hope to comment on recent developments in the automobile industry, reviews of my readings on the history of the automobile, drafts of my new work, contributions from friends, descriptions of the museums and car shows I attend and anything else relevant.
