ART CENTER COLLEGE OF DESIGN HILLSIDE CAMPUS
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2011

"Top vehicle designers, automotive companies, collectors and enthusiasts as Art Center explores the continuing global influence Southern California has on transportation design.

With more than 20 advanced automotive design studios located here, as well as companies leading the charge in new mobility and alternative energy, SoCal continues to shape the how, what and where of mobility on a tremendous scale.

This year, as Art Center begins expanding its curriculum to further impact the evolution of the automotive industry and the broader field of transportation, we look at the innovative cars, bikes, planes, boats, materials and design tools influenced by our boundless culture.

Art Center’s Car Classic celebrates the very best in automotive design, showcasing the College’s strong ties to industry and honoring many of our noteworthy alumni. Past events have featured such sought-after speakers as alumni Chris Bangle, Henrik Fisker, Syd Mead, Shiro Nakumura, Harald Belker, Ken Okuyama, Chuck Pelly and Frank Stephenson.

Art Center’s celebrated Transportation Design alumni serve as a reminder that behind every beautifully designed car is an innovative and talented designer. Art Center students explore the balance between form and function—not only looking at style and design, but also considering technology, engineering, sustainability and the overall driving experience—to meet the tremendous opportunities that exist for transportation designers today.

High-caliber speakers. Influential alumni. Beautiful vehicles. Inspiring students. Creative surroundings. Art Center Car Classic is not to be missed!"

The 250GTO is very striking, absolutely gorgeous.

 

You didn't miss out on much especially if you had to pay to get into the event.

 

Yah, $50 is pretty steep. I would have like to see the GTO and 917.
