An absolutely fascinating film! You can title this "the soul of a new/old machine.” We can’t go back to the 1930s and get inside the minds and feel the hands that built this car the first time. But the film does explore the hearts and minds of some of the craftsman and engineers/designers from today. The exactitude is remarkable! As are the aesthetics. To honor the past, this project brings in new technologies with a sensitivity to authenticity. You cannot put a price on this kind of high culture.
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.
