Automobiles are the modern era's ultimate expression of form vs. function.
These sophisticated engineering marvels must also meet the stylistic preferences of the period to a degree exceeding that of any other product of technology. This is a celebration of those automobiles which have risen above their contemporaries to become works of art, near-perfect blends of engineering and design. The 1959 Corvette is a favorite among enthusiasts. It was the second year for the quad-headlight design, and was refreshingly cleaned up after the overpowering gimmickery on the car of the previous year. The toothy grille would only make it through 1960.
