I'll be spending about 25 minutes of this video in my HST 344 class on September 19. There are several points to take away from the film. First, we should not get too carried away with the influence of Harley Earl on automotive design. There were others, including Northup, who worked quite independently of GM on designing cars that were more integrated, longer, and lower. Note also that innovation can come from the periphery, rather than the center, of the emerging American "technostructure."Thanks to Mark Kessler for rescuing Amos Northup from the dustbin of history.
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.
