The 2017 EyesOn Design Automotive Design Show celebrated its 30th anniversary on Sunday. It returned to the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan. “Body Styles” was this year’s official theme. Today we explored unique vehicle architecture that thrived during various eras. Many things drove the evolution of the automobile.
