Classic Car Innovations: A Deep Dive into Automotive Design Evolution

This presentation by Sam Drake at the University of Utah focuses on seminal automotive designs, analyzing models from the Ford Model T to the Chrysler Mini-Van. Highlighting their unique contributions to vehicle design, the discussion includes the Volkswagen Beetle's unibody structure and the Chevrolet Corvette's innovative materials. Each car, from the muscle car Pontiac GTO to the versatile Ford Mustang, is examined for its historical impact and design principles. This retrospective reveals how these models not only defined their eras but also shaped the future of automotive engineering.
