Product Information

In the postwar exuberance of America, General Motors launched their Motorama, an all-out extravaganza that turned the marketing of new cars and designs into a cultural event of national proportions. "GM' s Motorama" brings this short-lived but unforgettable tradition back to life with words and period photographs that revisit the posh venues, such as the Waldorf Astoria in 1953, where celebrities in Broadway-style shows and phalanxes of glamorous models introduced the public to " Dream Cars" destined to become legends-- the GM LeSabre, Cadillac Le Mans, and the Chevrolet Corvette prototype. This book recreates the drama of the eight shows staged between 1949 and 1961, focusing on the cars designed under the leadership of the founder and head of GM Design, Harley Earl. The cars that emerged from the mind of Earl are today among the most desired of the twentieth century. Previously unknown facts about the fate of the Dream Cars-- some of which seemingly disappeared-- and a glimpse of GM' s recent crop of concept cars are offered in the book' s final two chapters.

  • GM Motorama by Chuck Jordan, etc

    I have been in love with concept cars since seeing the very first one. This book has great pictures of many of my favorite GM concepts. The only problem is I long for more pictures and information about the cars, the men who designed and built them, and the corporate decisions affecting designs and which cars were built and which were discarded. Great book. Bob Keefauver

  • GM'a Motorama, Temple Adler

    One of the nicest works on the subject can't recommend highly enough... What an absolute bargain, for the lover of Dream Cars this is not just a picture book but a comprehensive history of what the Motorama was all about... David Temple and Dennis Adler managed to unearth some amazing pictures and information the car community owes them a great debt, the forward by Chuck Jordan is totally indicative of what a complete class act this VP in charge of design is... too bad he is not still involved he is still truly a visionary when it comes to automobile styling...
