GROSSE
POINTE SHORES, Mich. -- The 24th annual EyesOn Design car
show at the Edsel & Eleanor Ford House was a roaring success,
with record attendance on Father's Day, and more than 270 vehicles
on display.
With its
emphasis on automotive design, past, present and future, EyesOn
Design is the only show of its kind in the world. Unlike other shows
where cars are judged on restoration and / or authenticity, the
exterior of each vehicle at EyesOn Design is judged using professional
design criteria: emotional appeal, execution, artistic excellence,
and design character and continuity.
Additionally, a vehicle’s interior design is also carefully
evaluated. Judging criteria include appearance, functionality, use
of color and materials, and compatibility with the vehicle’s
exterior.
For the
majority of awards, judging will be accomplished by individual automotive
designers and/or teams of active and retired exterior and interior
designers from leading automotive and supplier companies. Driven
by a passion for automotive design, these distinguished men and
women have generously volunteered their services to EyesOn Design
for the benefit of the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology.
Thank you
to our sponsors and media supporters for your support!
Save the
date for the 25th Anniversary Celebration of Design! EyesOn Design
