Virgil Exner and The Forward Look

Born at the start of the automotive age, Virgil Exner had almost no formal training, but he was a talented artist who was fascinated by cars.

Almost by accident, he became a giant of midcentury American car design with his work at Studebaker and Chrysler, helping to save both companies from cautious but boring styling. This is the story of Exner's remarkable career and his greatest legacy: "The Forward Look".
