AmericaJR’s Gloria and Jerome Rzucidlo recently visited the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) to check out their new exhibit, Detroit Style: Car Design in the Motor City, 1950–2020. This exhibition organized by the Detroit Institute of Arts will highlight the artistry and influence of Detroit car designers working between 1950 and the present day. It will bring together 12 coupes and sedans designed across that 70-year period to highlight significant achievements in style and technology. The 12 cars include unique examples of experimental show cars created for display and iconic production models sold to the mass market. Design drawings and photographs will allow you to imagine the creative and innovative processes that bring a vehicle from the drawing board to the street.
