Main Gallery
DFD documents a period in automobile history in America that was characterized by an approach to design and styling that paid little concern with fuel economy and restraint in design. The automobile design studios in Detroit, at the time, were dealing with perceptible aero-dynamics, the influence of aircraft and rocket design exemplified by sometimes outrageous exuberance. Visions of the future which reflected the times in which they conceived. The images in this show centre around the late 1950s until the mid 70s.
