The Sequel to Imagine!
Patrick G. Kelley’s previous book, Imagine!, featured automobile concept art from the 1930s to the 1980s. During the golden age of American automobile design, the focus was on creating vehicles with ‘eye appeal’ to sell more cars, resulting in thousands of drawings of futuristic models. However, most of these drawings were lost or destroyed to avoid copying. The Kelley Collection features rare survivors of these eye-catching images, honoring the forgotten men and women who drew and designed the cars for the Big Three manufacturers. The book takes readers back to a time of unlimited dreams and vision, showcasing the work of 87 individual artists with 235 unique images.
“A stunning illustrative documentary of a piece of time unknown to most! This book shares a glimpse into the world of so much creativity and vision. Love it!”
