Imagine!

Automobile Concept Art from the 1930s to the 1980s

Published in 2019, Imagine! Automobile Concept Art from the 1930s to the 1980s featured 235 wonderfully unique and vintage images from 87 artists. The eye-catching images shown in Imagine! have been gathered together over the last 20 years and now form part of The Kelley Collection. They are rare survivors and illustrate the work of the men and women who drew and designed the cars from their early days at art school and during their employment with the ‘Big Three’ automobile manufacturers. These artists have been almost forgotten, and this book honors them for their contributions and imagination. Imagine! took readers back to earlier times when the sky was the limit, dreams and vision were encouraged, and restrictions were few.

While Imagine! Automobile Concept Art from the 1930s to the 1980s is no longer available, you still have the opportunity to view some of its featured vintage concept art.
