CAR OF THE CENTURY

When Harley J. Earl introduced a new way to build cars in the 1920s, he made Henry Ford's antique design methods obsolete. The official Harley Earl web site explains more about his role in the automobile's evolution toward the "body beautiful." Visitors will find heaps of information on the site including vintage schematics, photos, and essays on the evolution of automobile aesthetic in the 20th Century. Now you’ll know who Harley J. Earl is besides the guy who was featured in auto ads for a while!
